The Ultimate Guide to Spot fake Chinese wholesalers

As a wholesaler in China, I have many opportunities to see all kinds of portable electronic stock scams. They are exposed by the victims of anger in business forums, blogs and websites devoted to even cheating Chinese. After reading them I feel good, if not a lot of content balance of the subjects in the wholesale hatred for the Chinese quality.

The scammers are odious, but are a fraction compared to the legitimate. Their existence does not distort the overall credibility wholesale China. And most importantly, they are easier to identify and get rid of what you believe, with this guide.

Check and proven fraudsters Exclude Opinion

What are your wholesale buyers in the eyes of others? Sometimes something happened to her long enough for wholesale. Just take a few minutes to see if your provider has a priori.
The trick is to do a Google search with the name wholesalers in the company domain name, email (special code), telephone or cell phone number and other information unique identifier. The aim is to see if the wholesaler has appeared or been involved in the complaints, lists of fraud and other adverse conditions.

It is worth mentioning that a legitimate business is not equal to the complaint should be zero. You need to do an analysis on each of its suppliers, be sure that whatever the nature or just a scam, because to poor service or product, but the wholesalers in this case, are often too cumbersome to work with.

You're lucky if the wholesaler has been tested in activity fraudulent. But often there is no confirmation of these characteristics. On the one hand, the emergence of new fungi as wholesale these days, too fast to get tested, in contrast, fake web pages are created faster than they disappear. The last series scammer you have discovered is often updated. Therefore, it happens rarely talk to you a wholesaler has been listed. In fact, you may surprised to know a company could create hundreds of fake Web sites to maximize their victims.

Audit reviews will not help you immediately decide that the wholesalers, you should buy, because it requires further evaluation to choose their business partner, but gives clues that should be rejected wholesale.

Wholesale Review Sites

Check the following indicators the wholesale site. When isolated, they can not say anything. By joining, however, should sound alarms.

1) Is there a site or stay independent anywhere else?

If the wholesaler is hosted on another site, as open spaces, and B2B portals as alibaba.com, trying to find their own website. If you do not find the wholesaler's own web presence, to leave.

Many wholesalers and suppliers confidence in the B2B portals and assume that all providers at these portals are trusted, simply because these sites are real. Not so. Web resources B2B portals are most consumed by the poor, especially the B2B portals second largest, nearly have become hunting grounds for fraudsters. No trust companies or products advertised on these sites. The state of these ads cost money, not winning quality.

When you get to a wholesaler to a third party, never stay there or try to send a question. Instead, you should try to find the wholesale site itself. If you can not locate it, drop it. Do not waste your time. You must make your purchase 100% secure.

2) Look at the name site

The lovers are as cheaters. Although the name of a website does not determine the nature of society, something in the name of the field.

There are several types of domain names should call your special attention:
1) domain names that contain numbers;
2) the area names have no meaning;
3) domain names that seem too large or sounds like hype;
4) domain names that claim to be official.

The following domain names are in a list of scammers:
First-phones.com
16988.cn
adidas-nike.net
3seal.biz
5y8l.com
bag-trading.com
super electronics.com.cn
kingdom.com.cn purchase

As you can see, these domain names are inadvertently selected or created to generate traffic for specific keywords. They seem the thieves, right? The next time you visit the Web site names like these, be very careful.

3) Is the website of the Chinese version wholesale?

When a Chinese version is missing, which means the website is only for overseas buyers. But above all a business to Wholesale wants to make an accessible website is also home providers, distributors and manufacturers.

After all you need continuous supply of new products and better growth.
In China, the pressure on the supplier side is often more than the longest side, because too many suppliers. Most vendors want to make free online catalogs wholesalers. Who did the practice become a supplier to reach a larger audience and the inclusion of lines product. This means fewer products rare, it is useless to seek a wholesale supplier. The best way, and normal for a wholesaler to get new products often was then a Web page called "sourcing" to be displayed on the site. This explains why a large site with a section especially for providers usually Authentic.

More than one language version, a Chinese section involves a supply chain behind the company. Some scammers do not include a version Chinese, however, although most tend to overlook that.

4) Are your offers too good to be true?

A real iPhone on sale for just over $ 200? No, do not buy it, whatever.

Two things that every buyer must be very allergic to genuine brand items and good prices (lower depth). The truth is that the replicas are for sale websites wholesale brand name products often have their own distribution networks and are not allowed on the sites of wholesale and cheap products often the buyers of the products of the land or pathetic scams.

The fact is that you should always throw wholesalers who claim that their brand is real. As for the low prices are not impossible. But it is often very difficult and risky and I think that is why many buyers Settlement to be deceived. Some buyers are obsessed with discounts. In general, many products are sold at discounted prices web sites are really important of lesser quality. The resale of inferior products is not a good business for the long term.

Use your common sense. No greed.

5) Are copy content from other sites?

Okay if information is being produced, as is common in many wholesalers share a single supplier, like many owners of the eBay store selling the same item.
What you need to check items like us. Copy and paste a neutral phrase that the seeker Google without the quotes in quotation marks. If it returns results from other sites, the wholesaler is questionable.

Visit these sites and is easy to judge if your site wholesale survey is a scam.

When the contents, you get a better understanding of how your wholesale business end user. A legitimate wholesaler often puts the user experience in a situation of high priority. They will do everything possible to create a script that displays different characteristics from their competitors.

However, the amount may depend wholesaler, who did not even care to say about themselves?

In addition to content, also must verify the design and layout of the wholesale site. A plagiarism is not limited to words.

Just keep in mind that scammers do not have time to deal Editors, web design and other Web elements of time. It is a small team, and life cycles of their Web sites are extremely short. You must use reproduction, ie, many fake websites to target victims.

6) put Adsense and other ads?

Some wholesalers do not place different types of advertising on their websites. But most of the wholesalers do not. The advantage is that these ads generate additional benefits if site traffic is good. The disadvantage is obvious and distracting advertising confuses buyers natural site.

What you need to know if the ads are created for the sole purpose of making money doing click. There are some indicators: an ADS) too around the site, 2) to interfere with the normal click ad links are not c) that masquerade as normal links and when Often appears irrelevant content.

These sites do not sell orders. Its main task is to attract ad clickers. His part-time to steal your money. After a period of time, you can find some areas are made available for sale.

7) Is the game all the information?

It is difficult for fraudsters to keep the information consistent in what you do. tin shifts can be discussed here and there a sharp eye. Once you've discovered two things that do not match, you can eliminate the wholesaler from the list. Company must be based on honesty, right?

Each time the following must match the other:
* City
* City
* Province
* Postal Code
* Prefix Area
* Location of mobile number
* Domain whois information
* Year of establishment
Copyright Statement Website *

For example, if you've seen the news Registration, who said that the wholesale domain was registered in 2008. Then go to "About" page, which says that the company was established in 2002. In comparison, no should consider doing business with the company.

Sometimes you may need to go to the edge by comparing the data on the website for the wholesaler and information third parties such as B2B portals.

WHOIS is an excellent tool to use. Scammers can fake address, owner name, and year of establishment, but can not hide the truth in the registration information.

Payment Options

Your money is safe before they are paid. That is, is never too late before paying, no matter how you trust your wholesale supplier in error.

Check the payment options on the site. If PayPal is not is intended to reject the supplier. If PayPal is provided, but when you start paying, say only accept bank transfer the license. If you do not deal with the wholesalers you know, do not pay by Western Union, Money Gram, money orders, bank or credit card.

Payment methods above are people you know. The following is taken from the own website of Western Union:

The Western Union Money Transfer service is a great way to send money to people you know and trust. If you need to send money to someone who does not know well, you can increase your risk of fraud.

Because we care about consumers, Western Union invites you to protect fraud in mind:

Never send money to a stranger using a money transfer service. Beware of offers or options that seem too good to be true. Do not use money transfer services to pay for things like buying online auctions. Never send money to pay taxes or taxes on winnings from foreign lotteries.

Useful Practices
