Dear all salehoo members.

I have previousaly made a payment ' it was a small 1 by western union and i had been scammed for a promised mobile phone.

Do not make business deals ' with any 1 ? Make sure you gather the righ information.

My best tips.

- Full name of Business and registration number or on the individual.

- Ring them to verify by company land line number or home land line number (avoid mobile phones)

- Avoid Nigerian and romanian crooks ' thsy still operate highly undercover on the internet.

- My best advice ever ' never make payment by western union and always use secure methods such as

*Escrow'

* Cod '

and

*Paypal Verified.

Follow my tips ' and i promise you are 90% likely not to get cheated and you will forver have great business results.

Kind regards

Mr Sharaaz (, '')

I've had alot of potential scammers from nigeria send me fake money orders. Wait several days before shipping on money orders especially on nigeria residents. My bank took 10 days to find out the Money orders were fake.

You found a scam that's probably selling counterfeit items.

Lets talk about counterfeits now and why its easy to tell if someone is selling bootlegs.

See this for an example:

** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**

This, is a Nintendo DS Counterfeit.


This would be illegal to sell on almost any place. It might even be illegal to sell it in your home town, except say off craiglist.


Nintendo does not endorse in any form this product.


I know this officially, because I have spoken to the seller at length.


He Shanghai2008 admits that there is no certificate with this item, and you can buy the warranty as optional.


This is 100% proof he is selling counterfeits or low quality knock-offs. Not only that, Shanghai2008 has a powerseller rating of 50%!!!!!!!! 50% of the buyers who purchased from him, have been unhappy and complained!!! That seals the deal. He's selling bootlegs, and admits it.


If THESE WERE legitimate "replicas", the BOX would have the OFFICIAL Nintendo sign.


They would have a CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY, which is further proof Nintendo authorized them to go ahead and sell.


Since they do not, you want to run from them fast.


ILLEGAL.


Shanghai2008 is the kind of seller/supplier you must always stay away from on DHGate or any wholesale store!!!


No matter what you do, you will get in trouble for selling his knock-offs. This is because none of them are certified. SHANGHAI 2008 IS SELLING BOOTLEG DS SYSTEMS !

Do not even consider buying from this company - they are running a dodgy operation where they will put low prices on the site then claim that your card was declined - up the prices and take the money anyway - if you don't believe me call them and no one will answer the phone - do not trust them please they are complete cowboys! You will not see your money or anything else.

December 17, 11:51 AM Nadera says:

these people are crooks, if it sounds too good to be true, its probably is. I just cancelled my credit card and disputed the charges. they have not given me any response since dec 8. there is no order cancellation policy on the site, no nothing. this place is garbage, a lie, and they WILL cheat you out of your money.
December 17, 12:45 PM hans says:

it's true. I also ordered there and I didn't get any response to my e-mails. I saw on my credit card invoice that the money was written off, but I wait for about 4 weeks for the goods.
What can be done against this fraud?
December 17, 06:01 PM chris says:

i was going to order from here but i sent an email to ask how they can stock LV when only eluxury and LV themselves are allowed to sell online no one else to my knowledge is authorised to do so-never got a response i guess that says it all! has anyone heard of fashion district.co.uk? What about them? scammers or honest?

December 17, 06:44 PM joann says:

December 17, 10:16 PM Ashley says:

I bought from them in November. They never sent me any shipping confirmation so I emailed them over and over and over. So I called my credit card comapny and they refunded my money and went after their bank. I just recieved the clothes today, and they are SO fake. And it was shipped from China, which proves it's fake. My money got refunded by my CC company, and I am sending the stuff back. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.
December 18, 12:13 AM David says:

Glad I found this page before I proceeded with my order. I'm to lazy to but if your mad enough at them you can E-mail the serch engine companies i.e. Google and report the site. Often times these sites open accounts with "search providers" to pay for placement..
December 18, 12:17 AM David says:

Just checked Google and Stylerunway.com"does show up as a "Sponsored link" meaning they do have a Google SEM account!!
December 18, 01:17 AM Nicki says:

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE!! the same thing happened to me, I am still waiting for my order.
December 18, 03:40 AM jennie says:

Hey all, Make a note to stay away from ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** - I bought a few items from them just before Christmas which were gifts and paid via Western Union (idiot me :roll: first time I ever used it) and of course I never got my goods. I then was blocked from MSN and have had no replies to my emails. So there goes $350 down the drain. I then had to go out and re-purchase Christmas items for everyone. This was one expensive year for me...NEVER AGAIN. :evil: :evil:

Now I also lost another $120 through paypal thanks to a reversal made 30 days after the transaction. A scammer bought up big on ebay and oztion and then paid through paypal. I was one of the lucky ones, other sellers lost over $800 in sales. This scammer then put in a dispute in and of course because her delivery address was UNCONFIRMED the seller was not protected. According to their policy if your buyer's address is unconfirmed there is no way you are protected against scammers. The problem is that in Australia, we don't have the option to have CONFIRMED ADDRESS for buyers. You can be Verified but you also need to be 'confirmed' - yet another leap hole in the paypal system. Buyers are protected regardless if they are honest or not. I have now decided to close all my paypal account but the downfall is that you cannot list items on ebay now without a paypal account :!: :(

Hi there, recently joined hoping to find reliable sites to buy from.

Got scammed myself a recently and walked straight into it even though my head told me to steer clear.

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM: ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**

just like some other posts, when you e-mail them they reply almost instantly, even though I am in Ireland and they are in China, should jhave known they were to eager. Prices to good to be true, Iphone for 180 dollars. they talked me into sending my western union even though Paypal was a payment option, even gave be a discount. Then e-mailed me a photo of the EMS postal docket, I tried to track it but nothing showed up. in total over 75 email were sent between us. eventually they told me my package was being held up in customs and required another 37 euro, that was enough for me as there was still no tracking. at that stage i asked for a refund and was told when they get the package back i would get a refund..... yeah, likely story, have sent 4 e-mails since, got no reply.


Be advised.. if you think you are being conned you usually are, your head will lead you the right way.
