Global Sources

I paid invoice and did not received anything.
From Company: Jiangsu Kaihuida New Material Technology Co, Ltd
This total Scam. They using accounts of Paypal in Nigeria.

On September 2021,while surfing on Global Sources I came across an EV Car from a verified Company that is Yuanghzou Semotors electric Vehicles Co.ltd,i send an inquiry for the price,specifications etc...
Then after some days I received an email from Steven Wang Yuanghzou Semotors electric Vehicles CO.LTD telling me to do business with him and on his signature its I quote
STEVEN
YANGZHOU SEMOTOR ELECTRIC VEHCILES CO.,LTD
ADD: NO.16. BAFANGHUI ROAD, YANGZHOU CITY.CHINA
So i was convinced it's a verified company so i bought the EV Car worth USD ******* since October 2021 and till now Jan 2023 i never received the EV Car.
When contacting Global Sources they are telling me that it's out of their platform.BUT THE COMPANY IS A VERIFIED COMPANY ON GL9BAL SOURCES I SAW THE CAR ON THEIR PLATFORM.
It's clear that Global Sources is support these supplier to scamm people around the Globe.

I recently had an outstanding experience with Global Sources, and I can confidently say that it is the best B2B platform available. Unlike other platforms like Alibaba, Global Sources attracts a higher caliber of buyers, which significantly benefited my business. During a trade show organized by Global Sources, I had the opportunity to connect with a big buyer who showed genuine interest in my products. What impressed me even more was the seamless transition from online to offline through their O2O (online to offline) service. This allowed me to easily convert the initial online contact into a successful offline order. Global Sources' dedication to facilitating efficient and fruitful business interactions has truly set them apart. I highly recommend Global Sources to any business looking for a reliable B2B platform that connects them with bigger buyers and offers excellent O2O services.

Thank you so much global sources and TukMed. I ordered some weight gain and weight loss products from TukMed and i my products got delivered today even though it took one more day for it to get here in Memphis.
But i'm so grateful my products are here and i highly recommend TukMed to anyone who needs supplements and other varieties of products. Their prices are good. Reach out to them on Whats app/Call: +90 - 536 - 695 - 1636

A few months ago, I purchased graphics cards from a seller on Global Sources. Unfortunately, I became a victim of a scam and lost $570. The seller's company was hacked due to their poor security measures, and the scammer was able to infiltrate their website and sell GPUs to unsuspecting customers on Global Sources.

I immediately reached out to Global Sources and requested their assistance in resolving the issue. Initially, I was disappointed by their response as they only shut down the seller's account without providing any further support. I felt that they could have done more to ensure that I received compensation from the seller before taking action.

Update:

I want to update my review as Global Sources eventually solved the issue. I received my lost funds and am grateful for their efforts in resolving the matter.

Although I was disappointed by the initial response, I must acknowledge that Global Sources provided the necessary support to resolve the issue. I would recommend the platform to others, but would also advise caution when dealing with sellers.

Chaoyang Hongsheng Machine-Building Co., Ltd The seller took the money and does not want to send the goods

Beware of this website do not place an order on this website you will be sorry about it if you go ahead with it please think twice before doing it

We contracted with Mos Holdings (also known as Complex Industries) the head office in Hong Kong but factory is in China, to make my custom earrings. Their address is Company: Complex Industrial Company Limited
Address: 20F, Unit F & G Gold King Ind Bldg., 35-41 Tai Lin Pai Rd Kwai Chung. The other websites are: http://www.complex.com.hk/e/default_home.asp and also http://www.mosholdingsltd.com/sc/. The order did not look like the samples. First they were late by 1 month in making the earrings and in that time had mislead me about when the earrings would be finished and pushed back the completion date several times. The also made the earrings in the wrong plating- I asked for 18 K gold, rose gold plated earrings but they gave me 9K gold earrings which were pale and looked terrible. The earring pins broke off easily and they did not plate the earrings well so the base metal was exposed and so it looked rusted. The engraving was done incorrectly on all the earrings as well and bad quality glue was used, so CZ stones would fall off easily. Out of 1,312 earrings that I ordered there were 879 earrings that were faulty. They refused to give me a refund or even discuss the matter and I have still been unable to talk to a manager.

This company seems very good as they do very good samples, but when the actual order is sent - the earrings are made so faulty that they cannot be sold.

Please do not be fooled even though they say they make jewlery for big brands- they are fraudulent.

I have direct experience with GlobalSources.com and have proof in writing from senior executives in a series of emails where GlobalSources.com admitted the "rating" system they call "verified supplier" is based entirely upon how much money they collect from the supplier and nothing more.

I got ripped off by the company CATIC Shenzen Company whom I found through GolbalSources.com. CATIC is a "top rated" supplier as listed on GlobalSources.com.

After they ripped me off I contacted GlobalSources.com and finally they admitted they never "verified" CATIC's capabilities. They simply sent a low level person to a little office only to collect money. There was no verification other than to be sure the check did not bounce. CATIC simply paid for those 4 stars out of a possible 5 stars. (I know about the little office because I visited that office when I was in China to try to get my money back).

Unlike what GlobalSources.com states on their website CATIC Shenzhen has no factories of their own, no research and development, no quality control, etc.

GlobalSources.com is listed on NAZDAQ (NASDAQ-GS: GSOL) but they are based in Bermuda presumably to avoid US tax liability. They were taken public by the bankrupt company Fairchild.

The person who admitted in writing the truth of this scam is:

Bernie Holmbraker
General Manager, Client Service and Buyer Events, GlobalSources.com

I have discussed this with Wayne D. Lee at NASDAQ and I am contacting the NY Attorney General.
