the new modus of chinese suppliers on chinese websites was to scam, cheat innocent good buyers around the world, by making different names and sites of their company. so that they will not be identified as a scammer or a fraud. like yuanda international trade co., ltd. for instance, is not a genuine company but one of a hoax company. the people behind this enormous scam will create many different names of a company that never been exist, so that if they already victimized a good buyer they can easily leave that site and never heard from them again. because automatically the victim will made a complaint to the b2b or to the host online shop like alibaba.com, madeinchina.com, china.cn, and made-in-china.com to name a few chinese websites. from then feedbacks, complaints will be posted in the internet or a blog by the victim as a warning from other good buyers. now, other buyers will be careful on choosing a supplier and they will look with a chinese supplier who dont have a negative feedback or complaints, but not knowing that the company name was also operated by the same scam and by the same people behind the fraud and on standby to cheat and fooled another innocent good buyers.
never accept western union, T/T, bank transfer.

they will offer you low prices for sample unit.
they will deal you to pay half of its price and sure pay the remaining balance once you recieved the items.
they will ask for the buyers scanned passport, and valid ids. saying for their security that the buyer will sure pay the remaining balance.
they will email you with list of branded products from cellphones, game consoles, digital camera, laptops with low prices in it.
