Beware of scams when using alibaba.com
Top 10 things you should know when using alibaba. The list is in a random order.
dont buy electronics from alibaba
The $300 Nokia E90 they are selling is a cheap knock off. And the $20 ipod they are selling is nothing more than a cheap mp3 player. In most countries the consignment will not even pass the custom clearing due to copy right infringement laws. Not only you will lose your money, but there is a high chance of you have to spend few years proving your innocence in courts.
Never use western union to send money to alibaba suppliers
Most of the alibaba suppliers will ask you to send money through western union. What ever the reason they give, you never do that. Once you send money through western union you have no control over it. It is very easy to scam people using western union. Early days I have been a victim of a $2000 fraud through western union. I do not want you to lose your hard earned money. When you see western union as the only payment method listed, do your self a favor and run away from that supplier.
Never fall in to fake sample images from alibaba sellers.
alibaba stocks photo
The scam sellers in alibaba will send you images of stock to prove that they have the goods in hand.
For example if you are looking to buy a nokia N95 they will send you images of 100’s of Finland made Nokia N95’s.
But I have experienced,same images are circulated through dozen different suppliers. Either they all are a part of one scam ring or they all have obtained the image from the same source.
alibaba fake phones
When you ask for a sample image always ask to write your name in a piece a paper and take the snaps with it. Just like I have done here.
The image with my partner’s name on it is a fake N95.
The sample images can reveal you a big story. but Don’t trust the supplier just from looking at the sample image. He may have few quality collections of stocks. But that does not mean he will send it your way.
Do not trust the EMS tracking number from alibaba sellers.
Most of the suppliers in alibaba tent to do shipments through EMS. They will send you a tracking number saying that they have done their part of the deal. It is very easy to create a fake EMS tracking number. So be alert until you receive the goods to your hand.
Never send money to a personal bank account to an alibaba seller.
Most of the sellers will ask you to send money to their “Bank of china accounts”. When they send you the bank details look for the bank name. If it is a personnel name avoid sending a cent. If they are a established entity they must be using a business account and should use them in their business transactions. If this is not the case you might be sending money to a Chinese who is scanning you in his pygamas.
If the price of a alibaba seller seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true.
Be rational when making a decision. There is no way that a supplier can offer you a $700 worth product at $200. You will be surprised how many suppliers have these types of prices. True, alibaba is a very good place to find products at filthy cheap prices. But their products do not come out of magic. So do your due diligence when the supplier sends you the quotation.
Don’t fall for samples sent by alibaba sellers
The supplier may have sent you a real sample. (Paid / Free). That does not mean you can trust him with a $10,000 deal. There are suppliers who send you real samples for quality products. But when you place the big order you will either get scammed or will receive a big consignment of crap. So if the supplier cannot meat other credentials, do not trust him just because he sent you a sample.
alibaba scam companies
Scammers know most people are intelligent enough to do a Google search about the company before doing any transaction with them. So some scammers use reputed company names to scam you. Most of mid level and small scale buyers do not go beyond the level of online contacts when making correspondence. Once we search about their company we will see only good things about them. That’s why we must always send money to business accounts. If the account name is different from the company name they are pretending, Red flag; Run away.
visit the alibaba companies in china
Alibaba is not consisting of only Chinese suppliers. Even I do have an active supplier’s account with them. But most of the supplier’s and the most profitable one’s are from china. If your order level value is over $5000 try to visit the supplier at least once. There are cheap trips available to china if you are bit tight on your budget. Once you verify the supplier you do not have to make repetitive visits.
alibaba forum
Before selecting suppliers post your choice in the alibaba forum. There is a section dedicated to reveal scam and fraudulent suppliers. It is always better to do a double check in the forum before making that transaction. I have found many helpful members in the forum. One person eventually became one of my partners and we both together have pulled off so many deals in the past 2 years.
Can the scammers over weigh the importance of alibaba. Definetely NO. You cannot find a better market place if you are running a business. Unless you like selling/buying one item at a time on ebay. If you apply the knowledge you gather from this post and use your intelligence, You will be able to get the best out from alibaba b2b market place. If you are running a small online business I highly encourage you to start something off line too. You have a much better chance competing at your local area rather than competing against thousand of international marketers.

国际老千钻政府部门漏洞‧伪造马印密件诈财
国际老千钻政府部门漏洞‧伪造马印密件诈财
2010-07-16 10:28
（吉隆坡）梳邦再也与沙亚南消费人协会主席拿督贾谷佐治揭露，有人伪造及冒用大马和印度政府之间的机密文件，取得公众信任及涉嫌多宗大型国际诈骗案。
他周四（7月15日）呈交备忘录予国阵后后座议员理事会署理主席拿督邦莫达后，要求调查政府部门之间的漏洞，也希望国阵后座议员理事会向印度政府查明，并取得答复。
贾谷佐治在备忘录中举例，一名自称为泰米尔纳德邦首席部长亲戚的大马人，涉嫌在过去10年间透过芙蓉通往金马士的双轨电动火车计划和3G电信执照，向个人、承包商或公司索取逾500万令吉。
“我希望政府查出这名人士的真实身份，为何他能够自由穿梭政府部门，甚至取得政府机密文件和证书。”
邦莫达表示将尽力提供协助，以查出两国政府之间合作出现的问题，避免影响大马的声誉。

The dark truth about a sweet-talking Casanova
The dark truth about a sweet-talking Casanova
By ONG HAN SEAN
hansean@thestar.com.my
Tuesday July 13, 2010
KUALA LUMPUR: He is neither good looking nor young, but this sweet-talking Casanova has managed to cheat at least seven women of nearly RM400,000.
The 41-year-old Singaporean, known as Dennis Lim, has a habit of preying on women through the social networking website, ahmoi.com.
That’s him!: Chong and Qi Qi checking out a picture of Lim at the department chief’s office in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
One of his victims, Qi Qi, lost RM294,662 within the seven months of their “friendship.”
“I was not really attracted to him. He was really aggressive and he made the first move online,” said the 34-year-old businesswoman from Penang, who sought the help of MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong at his office yesterday.
She said Lim claimed to be a factory manager and knew how to take advantage of her weakness.
“He used sob stories to get my sympathy.
“For instance, he claimed his stepmother was admitted into ICU; that his ex-boss had delayed his business reimbursements and that he had met with a road accident before Chinese New Year.
“I felt sorry for him and wanted to help,” she said, adding that she allowed Lim to use her credit cards when he visited her in Penang in October last year.
Qi Qi started getting suspicious in March and lodged two police reports in Penang and another two in Singapore.
She later traced Lim’s caller history from a sub-line she started for him, and found six other women in Malaysia whom Lim had cheated for money and sex.
“His modus operandi is to get acquainted with lonely, single women online and then slowly work his way into their pockets with his sob stories,” Qi Qi said, adding that the victims had refused to make police reports against Lim.
Chong urged the other victims to come forward so that he could assist them.
“I will take this case to the Malaysian Interpol and relevant authorities,” he said.
He also reminded women to be wary of meeting strangers online.

Beware the online con

PETALING JAYA: It is important for women to check the background of a person they meet over Internet social networking websites to avoid being cheated.
“You need to check the background of the person to know whether the person is genuine or just a sweet talker. Whatever is posted by the man should be vetted thoroughly like calling up a company to see if he really works there,” said Wanita MCA Cupid Space project executor Peggy Lim (pic).
She also cautioned women not to rush into making a commitment.
“You need at least eight months to know a person. There is no need to rush into things,” she added.
“Feelings are a huge emotional trigger and for a woman, it is important to control these feelings when the courtship has only been going on for a short while.”
She said that among the reasons that women were scammed by online Casanovas was due to loneliness and desperation as they were afraid they would not be able to find a companion and accepted “any man who fancies them”
“The essential tools to sustain a relationship are patience and to earn the trust needed,” she said.
In June, a 47-year-old housewife said that she lost her savings and money she borrowed from her family and friends totalling RM1.2mil to a con man that she befriended on the Internet.
The man had claimed to be a Briton.
Meanwhile, MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong said he received complaints from 18 women on cheating scams with losses amounting to more than RM2.4mil since 2007.
He urged women to be wary of such con men.
Chong said the complaints that he received had a similar modus operandi – the men would get to know the women via Internet and send them expensive gifts before demanding for money.
Chong added that most of the victims were single mothers, divorcees and unmarried women.
“The con men also introduced themselves as businessmen, sons of senior politicians and professionals like engineers,” he said.
Chong said he believed the men involved in the scam were foreigners although some may have had the help of locals.

国外刷假卡名牌半价卖 破不法集团捕11人
国外刷假卡名牌半价卖
破不法集团捕11人
更新: July 9, 2010 18:19
（莎阿南9日讯）警方侦破一个假卡集团，逮捕11名以假信用卡到外国刷卡购名牌带回国，再以半价出售牟利的华裔男女。
假卡集团成员是在国内制造几可乱真的信用卡，写上本身姓名，但都是盗用外国人士资料，轻易瞒天过海。他们在持有这些假卡后，都是到外国购买名牌货品，带回大马以不到一半原价贱卖，做无本生意。
警方是在3项行动中先后逮捕11名男女，包括一名疑是集团首脑，并起获84张多数外资银行的假信用卡，宣布侦破不法集团的活动。
不过，警方相信还在幕后操纵的党羽正在潜逃，刻在全力追查他们下落。
雪州商业罪案调查组主任张婉萍助理总监今日说，警方于上月19日在吉隆坡国际机场出境处，逮捕一名华裔男子，男子当时准备搭机到土耳其伊斯坦布尔，警方从他身上起获13张伪造信用卡。
盗用外籍人士资料
警方较后趁胜追击，4天后再率队突击莎阿南31区一间公寓单位，逮捕5名华裔男子，其中一名嫌犯相信是假卡集团的首脑。
“初步调查，该公寓是假卡集团租借的单位，警方在屋内仅起获5张假卡，未有其他发现，如制作假卡原料或机械等物品。”
张婉萍在总部召开记者会，公布破案详情。
她指出，警方昨早6时再展开另一轮逮捕行动，到吉隆坡国际机场埋伏，成功伏击到5名刚从伊斯坦布尔疯狂盗刷后，带着大批国际知名物品返国的华裔男女，包括一对夫妇。
她说，警方当场从5名嫌犯身上起获66张假卡，初步调查，这些假卡都是在本地制造，写上嫌犯的名字，不过都是盗用外籍人士的资料。
66 假卡豪刷10万名牌货
5名被捕男女，带着66张假卡到土耳其盗刷10万令吉，选购物品都是国际知名品牌的手表、衣裤、鞋子和包包，尽显豪气！
初步调查，假卡集团成员活跃3个月，每次到外国大肆盗刷后，带着大批名牌物品返回大马，以超低价格出售，从中牟利。
据悉，被嫌犯贱卖的品牌货物包括劳力士手表，原本一枚价值1万令吉的手表，当他们成功带出境后，仅以不到5000令吉价格出售。
警方查悉，被捕的11名嫌犯，数人拥有犯罪前科，已被延扣，目前是在刑事法典420欺骗条文下受调查。

高薪招聘逾10人上当

报导：陈以珠
（新山9日讯）新加坡船厂招聘骗局！负责人借“填表格”为由，收取100新元（马币约240令吉）后，突告失踪，逾十名青年苦等不到面试，惊觉受骗。
疑诈骗集团刊登“新加坡某大型船厂聘请技术员”的广告内容，指称薪金可达3500至5000新元（约8400令吉至1万2000令吉）、包吃包住，还有公司津贴及优厚福利等为饵，诱使入世未深的年轻应征者上当。
有一批青年因被高薪所吸引，不约而同缴付一笔100新元的申请费后，发现有关负责人竟闹失踪。
其中一名青年郑氏（20岁，铁厂员工）向《中国报》阐述，他于6月25日（周五）看到报章的分类广告，深受吸引，立即致电联络有关负责人。
据悉，有关负责人“Ivy”自称在新加坡事务繁忙，无法亲自过来处理及收取“表格费”，故让友人代劳。
“对方要求我在26日到士姑来五福城一家广场的快餐店见面，同时需缴交100新元的'表格费'，才能作出申请，可是，当天来的却是一名自称是'Ivy '朋友的年轻男子。”
担心身分被盗用
郑氏不疑有他，付费填写表格后，再被安排于7月5日在士姑来某油站集合，以便前往新加坡应征，讵料当天苦等3小时，不见有人现身接载。
“当时，我等了很久，之后发现还有约6位年龄介于20至30岁左右的青年也在油站待了很久，于是趋前与他们打招呼，才恍然大悟，大家都中同一名老千的计。”
郑氏除了揭发诈骗集团的行径，也担心所呈交的证据如身分证影印本、护照影印本及其他文凭会遭盗用。
表格只印船厂名字
“Ivy”未曾现身
“Ivy”由始至终未现身，身分令人起疑。
一名受骗者陈朋丰（21岁，自动化工业员工）受访时透露，在填写表格时，他已心起怀疑，因表格上只是印有公司名字，没附上地址和联络电话，与一般的求职表格不同。
他说，当时，马上致电“Ivy”，询问为何没有公司的详情，岂料对方“专业”解答他的疑惑，甚至指可查询另一家在吉隆坡运作的分行，指该船厂是属“大公司”。
“当时我也没想太多，相信了对方的话。”
另外，本报多次尝试联络有关船厂负责人，不过接通的电话一再被挂断，无法求证详情。
