Angry AliBaba.com spam emails

Hi,

I registered myself at alibaba.com as a TrustPass member. I was thinking that it will save me a lot of time searching for buyers and only serious buyers will be able to contact me. But, unfortunately its becoming a headache for me. Sometimes it gets difficult for me to decide whether it is serious buyer or not.

From my observation, they don't value TrustPass members. They always pay attention to their gold members, of course Chinese scammers. AliBaba deceived me by saying that they will send me good inquiries if I buy their TrustPass membership. But, what I am getting is only emails from scammers. I am apparel manufacturer from Italy.

If you are from Italy then why is your IP address from Karachi Pakistan?


World Law will confirm you are in Pakistan.

Yup! You are right. My IP is of Karachi, Pakistan because all of the online work is outsourced to Pakistan.

And secondly read my previous post again. I have written I am Apparel Manufacturer from Italy. I have written nowhere that I am sitting in Italy you moron!

Hi, Be very aware trading on Alibaba.com. I have done two deals on that site and both turned out to be scams. They were both Verified members. I wanted to purchase Apple iPods. The first company that claimed to have the authentic product was beijing gere century invests company. As soon as they got my money, I never heard back from them. I reported the fraud to AliBaba.com and they pretty much did nothing. They said I had to do my research as a buyer. I contacted them back and asked what was the point of going through their site if their "Third Party Verification" meant nothing, and they didn't even bother answering. They just gave the scammer company -20 points and as far as I know they are still listed on AliBaba website. The second company that I only did a sample order and they still scammed me and I never heard from them was guilin bingshi electric CO.LTD. Be very aware of trading on AliBaba.com.

Yeah, whoever you are but quite right, specially there are bulk of e-mails I usually receive from Electronics companies, all are fake and selling iphons, ipods, mobile phones on alibaba.com on very cheapest prices and alibaba do not response or take any step to stop those scammers, sending spam e-mails and simply alibaba give negative marks to them.

I have only one suggestions to those who are new on alibaba please be aware of spammers and provide your tips or ideas, how to keep protect ourselves from these fake e-mails or scammers of Alibaba.com

You can simply unsubscribe from their service.
I have also tried Alibaba.com and their e-mails are really useless.
