All You Want To Know About the Top 5 E-Commerce Scammers
Retailers using dropshipping services are warned to make their choices after careful consideration because a whole network of scammers are working overtime to get their hands on your money. The names mentioned here are of confirmed e-commerce scammers whose acts have left numerous retailers in the lurch. Make sure that you are not their next victim. Read on.
If you come across dropshippers by the name of Dropshipland, then keep your senses on maximum alert mode because they are past masters in the art of glib. They will relieve you of your money even before you realize what’s happening. That’s how good they are at scamming. They make promises, make fantastic, hard-to-refuse offers, and assure you of huge profits.
You are given goods to sell on auction sites and the option to buy website.
They quietly make you commit to subscriptions, and before you realize it, you are poorer by a few hundred pounds. Convincing ads and authentic-looking websites are their tools to trap even experienced retailers.
Dropshipland is no dropshipping service but a group of complete crooks. Stay away, or you will regret it a great deal. They do not sell any products but bundles of false promises.
Another well laid-out scam trap on the Internet is perpetuated by UKdropshipGroup.com. They run the mother of all dropship scams. Theirs is an elaborate and well-planned setup, which starts with an offer of a business in a box for £14.97.
Then starts a series of ludicrous demands, including a £79.95-a-year advance fee for hosting. Even before you realize it, you end up committing to a 12-month contract, which (not surprisingly) auto renews after a year.
This is done by automatically debiting your account of £40.95. What’s completely ridiculous about this contract is that you have to pay a penalty of £29 plus VAT for discontinuing services. It’s absolutely bizarre.
UK DropshipGroup.com is run by crooks and does not have any products, nor do they cater to any markets. They will communicate with you to extract all the money that they can, and then they disappear into oblivion.
DVD Dropship is another scammer you are advised to stay away from. Their services are abysmal. Their customer service is nonexistent, and they do not respond to calls and e-mails. They flout every rule in the contract and are good to you till you make the payments. And from there on, the story twists dramatically. Avoid DVD Dropship services like the plague. They are worse than the worst.
The fourth name on the list of top scammers is DPBUK.co.uk. This is just one of the names under which they run their scam company. They manage many other scams under different domain names so that they can cast their scam net wider. These are the very dropshippers that reputable forums ask you to keep away from. But, the problem is that they still entice people with discounts ranging from 60 to 80 percent and impossibly low prices.
What retailers do not realize is that they do not intend to sell you anything right from the onset simply because they do not have any stock. They do not do any refunds, and there are thousands who have suffered terrible losses because of DPBUK.co.uk, undoubtedly the granddad of all scammers.
The last name in this list of confirmed online scammers is N1Best.com.
They claim to operate from the UK, but the English they speak on the phone is a dead giveaway that they are Chinese scammers. They are probably connected to some fake items manufacturers in China and supply these fake goods to your customers. They also operate under the name of Marnley Wholesale, topwholesaleshop.com, and a few others, all led by the same kingpin. As in all online scams, they just clam up after they have your money.
Remember the name again, N1Best.com, and stay away from them regardless of the temptations they throw at you.
