The same thing happened

Yesterday someone from Philippine told me that her friend was ripped off by a Chinese “supplier” in Beijing. And asked me what they could do. I said I can do nothing but told her the only thing I can do is just to tell good buyers that they make sure the supplier they selected is a good one before he or she makes payment. I am not a cop so it is not possible for me to reverse what has been done.

Actually I can understand that sometimes people would be cheated if he or she did not have any precaution from any source and I will show my sympathy for this type of case. However I sometimes just can not understand or show my mercy because some of the buyers insist sending money to those scammers even when they have some precaution from me. The above REPORTER’s friend sent some money to his “SUPPLIER” some money to buy a laptop but after the money was sent, no one gives any reply to him. One week passed and he thinks he loses his money. You know I told that lady from Philippine that if she wants to buy from abroad, do remember “DO NOT BELIEVE UNBELIEBABLE”. But it happened still.

Another reason why I can not show my mercy is that a lot of buyers “BELIEVE UNBELIEVABLE”. I must say Greedy for Cheap is core and internal reason for most of those who became the victims of the scammers. “Bread would fall from the sky but I think rarely”!!! If you yourself run a regular business, you will know that you have to make profits in order support all of your operations and paying those who work for you and buy food for your family, etc. Let the good sellers make a little reasonable profit and buy from them and at least you will get something from the payment you make.
