I was tring to start a resell business, and got on Alibaba.com to find items for resell. I located a couple of differant sellers that were gold star members which are suppose to be vetted and safe to buy from. One was GEO Green Shield and the other was Natwarintorn Limited Partnership, both turned out to be scammers.
The deal with GEO was purchase of Milwaukee 15 piece cordless tool sets, 6 sets for $600, The deal with Natwarintorn was for Dewalt cordless tool sets 15 piece 3 sets for $680. So I got almost $1300 involved in this scam that I lost. The sites looked legit so I didn't question much until shipping.
That is where each scammer tried to scam me for more money, one claimed tariffs the other claimed a Value added tax which the US doesn't have. That when I called customs to check the invoices they sent me for the product. They were completely fake invoices and no such product existed.
Thing is do not deal with Alibaba unless you use trade assurance, Two there Gold Star members mean nothing there mostly scammer and they do nothing about it, your on your own and they let them stay even after they are reported.
Two never send money Western Union, Money Gram, Bitcoin or any other way except trade assurance because your being scammed no matter what they say. I was a fool for not checking into them more, there were signs that I look for now, but just expect most if not all of them are scammers.
