I got a comment in an old post, the one about the Internet Police, about being ripped off by a Chinese online shop offering electronic goods for great prices.
I don’t know the exact details but I did a quick search to see what info is available. It seems the commenter isn’t the only one who didn’t get his stuff from Storehot. And it appears there are a lot of so-called online shops that love to take your money but don’t deliver. You can find an extensive list here.
There’s even a question on Yahoo Answers about Storehot asking whether to trust the website and the advice given there makes sense.
If you can’t pay by credit card or paypal for that matter you have no consumer protection. Making a deposit into an account or sending money using Western Union to an individual is a sure sign the probability of losing your money has increased tenfold.
Storehot (no, still no link to them:) even has the nerve to write on their payment page that you have to contact them for their paypal account because that would be a paypal rule. Well, that’s bull.
And remember if the price is too good, there’s a catch. I checked the website of Storehot and they had a nokia n95 on offer for 226 Euro. That’s 300 US cheaper then I could find anywhere else.
Happy Shopping:) Happy Holidays!
thank you for ur article, acually i wanted to send money to one of the froud sites, http://www.topstrade.com ,but i search over the net and i discovered the big amount of those kind of sites, now listen to the most intresting part, most of them claim that they will send it with http://www.EMS.com.cn, now the EMS has a service of Cash on delevery (COD), where you can pay once you get the product,, those froud websites told me that they dont accept this method, this is the only way to trust them but they refuse which means they are fake.
my best regards

Hi!
I’m from Hungary, Tamás Horváth. A Chinese merchant online page (tradekey.com) from each of fraudulent companies? I wanted to order one of the firm (laptop) (Globle trading co., Ltd) [huangqiu.international Trading Co., Ltd]. I even sent the money ($ 300) for them. We guessed that send more money ($ 60) to transport the first time because I forgot to me. They said that even if you do not send money for a laptop is not even money. I was obliged to send the requested amount. They sent the package but not a laptop bag and shoes but also in the package.
Then we had a company who wanted to order (laptop) [http://www.weixintrade.com] (Quanzhou Bofeng Trade Co., Ltd.). They are also asked to send them the money ($ 230) [Western Union]. They did not sent. Simply, the money had been stolen. What can be done in this case?

we used to shop around 50000 Us Dollar every months from china by our agent there, he came back to Iran for a month and we needed 50 laptops here and found some online in HEFEI City, we first sent 2000 Us Dollars to buy five laptops first and another 45 after we recived that five.The company called SHZHEN BING TRADE CO.LTD,in HEFEI city in ANHUI Province in CHINA. We sent the money to Bank of China HEFEI Branch,sort code BKCHCNBJ780 And the beneficiary was somebody called JUNNENG LUO Acc Nomber 489966020179915. Now we have found that these company are cheating Company and after we sent money they changed theire name and I.D and coming with another ID And names. From now on we do not trust any company in CHINA and will never send our agent nor a penny to shop from China for ever,even if they first send the goods and paying after delivary, we do not want any more goods from there again!

People are getting scared by this situation because the scammers in China are not punished.
I am also one of the examples. I contacted a Chinese company Changjiang Trade Co., Ltd. They offered me good prices for laptop computers. I placed an order for a laptop. They asked me to send money which I sent as per their invoice. But they scammed me and sent a fake DHL tracking number. However, I have gathered sufficient information about them. The authorities can very easily find and arrest them with this information. Their information is;

Hi,
a few days ago I’ve ordered Apple Iphone 4 16GB in ITCNN Electronics Inc, They offered for 345Euro, I think the price was good for me so I’ve sent the money via Western Union. but Till now the item has not been sent yet, one days ago they informed me that I must pay customs tariff 50% of total price or I must continues to buy some product reach 500Euro so the tariff will be low to 5%, and they will pay the tariff. They told me that it is a new rule of China’s government, is that true?
to everyone who knows about that, please informed me..

DO not ever buy from this web site:
vkamobi.com
They will ship you non quality item, and then afer you ship it back for refund they will keep it untill the end of 45 days. Because after this paypal will not be able to refund you. And then they will stop contacting you and not ship your order…

http://www.achinaseller.com Fraudulent website. Never send them money. If you already sent, forget it. No chinese authority will help you, even answer you. Probably, there isn’t any chinese authority.
