These people will set up a business webpages throughout the internet. Many of these fake companies will be locate in third world countries such as England, China, and India. Numerous people have lost thousands of dollars in these scams hoping to obtain a quality product to sell on EBay or other auction site. They are targeting people that are already close to defeat with the hard economic downfall.

These companies will claim to have quality authentic product such as name brand goods. Usually the payment for the goods is asked for with a Western Union or bank transfer. After the payment is received the emails and the webpage will disappear and never to hear from them again. Once the money has been sent there is nothing you can do to obtain it back. How are these people able to scam a person of there money and not be prosecuted? Why are these sites not monitored or taken down?

The best thing to look out for is free webpage accounts and email addresses. It is most likely that if a company is genuine they will not use a hotmail account for business mail.

I would highly recommend finding a genuine American wholesaler. Therefore if it does turn out to be a scam your chances to prosecute the individual will be greater. Never purchase from a company that is not registered. Never pay with bank transfer or Western union. Try to negotiate the price very low and if they accept they are a scam. Remember there are thousand of scam artist on the internet trying their best to confuse you into sending them money.
