Anyone willing to gamble?

Post by MaxZmus » Mon Jun 10, 2013 10:13 pm

I found this website that looks legit, but sketchy when you get to the point where you pay. They only accept Western union or Direct Bank wire transfer. They don't do Credit Cards or Paypal. Maybe one of you guys can look into it before we all dive in.

When it's too good to be true, it generally is not !!

Prices are way too low even for a wholesaler. Stolen goods would cost more :evil:

It has to be a scam. There is no way manufacturers would allow a company to sell their goods to the public at those prices. Besides as soon as a site has shoddy English I avoid them.

So I asked them for a photo of the items I was supposedly going to buy and he emails me a photo that I was able to find on a simple google search. He claimed that he went down to the warehouse and took the snapshot with his cell phone. Then I ask him for a photo of the warehouse and or store front and then he says that the business operates out of a small office to cut cost. So I'm thinking..hmmm no warehouse or storefront but yet he was able to "run" down to the warehouse to take a snapshot.? Yeah. This site is a SCAM!


Mods should keep this pinned up on top so everyone knows to avoid getting ripped off.

It might be a scam but these are standard prices in stores in china and a couple other places. I'm not really surprised.

They advertise cheap wholesale deals on many products from kayaks, fishing reels to dive equipment. I went for their minimum order of $300 and have not received any e-mail communication from them since payment. 2 weeks overdue from receiving any products in the mail. Beware of http://www.baolongplaza.com/

THIS SITE IS ASSOSIATED TO 'ecwholesaleplaza' AND IS A SCAM SITE FROM CHINA !!! This site has goods at lower than believable prices and they are !!! They are nice and friendly when you are contacting them in regards to any purchase but as soon as you make payment you no longer hear from them and can't get a reply to any forms of communication !!! They only except 'Western Union' or direct deposit and once the money is in their hand you have not only lost your money but also the goods purchased !!! NOTHING BUT A THIEVING SCAMMER !!!!
