They use reviewfbi attack other online wholesalers

Is reviewfbi.com a trustful source?

I was actually thinking it was trustful, but now I can assure you, the answer is negative, they are ABSOLUTELY not independent third party, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR lightinthebox.com, pls see my all review, I will explain.

Is reviewfbi.com a government agency?

It doesn't matter it has a name reads like a government agency, the answer is still no

Who is reviewfbi.com (I would not use the "Who the hell "tone as reviewfbi.com often used)?

Whois are always ready to tell the owner of any one domain. According to info given by who.is, the Registrant is DomainsByProxy.com. (WhoIs Search Results)
Then who is DomainsByProxy.com,
The law requires that the personal information you provide with every domain you register be made public in the "WHOIS" database, while DomainsByProxy.com is a business organization who provide paid service to help you get around this. Apparently reviewfbi.com is reluctant to show who they actually are.

Lightinthebox.com and reviewfbi.com link together?
It came to my attention a while ago, one sponsor link on Google will do redirection twice, first redirect to reviewfbi.com, and then to lightinthebox.com (URLs have been listed at the bottom of this review).
The point is only administrator of reviewfbi.com can set up this afore-mentioned "second" redirection part

Other proofs that reviewfbi.com is not third party
The following is part of original review on reviewfbi.com
"Who the hell is TradeMIC
I just used my relationship with other wholesaler suppliers in China to gain more info..."
Who is the wholesaler supplier reviewfbi.com turn to? What relationship do they have?
Again, reviewfbi.com is absolutely not independent third party.

Who is the predecessor of reviewfbi.com
lightinthebox.cc, they use this blog to attack other online wholesalers, the last activity date back to December 21st, 2009, that is a article named "Lightinthebox Clone-Trademic", you can find lots of other similar publications such as "Lightinthebox Clone-Etemail", 'Lightinthebox Clone Global-wholesale', etc, now lightinthebox.com have barely abandoned lightinthebox.cc, it seems they prefer reviewfbi.com compare to lightinthebox.cc. The purpose is obvious, they do not want visitors link these two domains together by naming.

Plus: what a coincidence lightinthebox.cc and reviewfbi.com use the same tone - this site copied almost everything from Lightinthebox, that site using the popular Lightinthebox template!
Pls check the original quote at the bottom of my review.

Reviews on reviewfbi.com
The bottom line is if you are on the competitor list of lighinthebox, you get review at reviewfbi.com and reviewfbi never 'fails' you, they always manage to think of something "negative", for example, if one wholesaler do not have complain, they concluded that is because it is either too small or a new company.
In one review, the wholesaler has a very high satisfaction record, reviewfbi.com manage to figure out the reason - reference commissions make your mouth sweet.
reviewfbi.com of course have given ligthinthebox a positive review while all others wholesaler marked with either 'negative' or 'neutral'. Reviewfbi.com always ranked lightinthbox as the top 1 popular, meantime, you can always access the lightinthebox review from the top navigation menu bar too, that is one of the reasons why the review about lightinthebox has so many comments, and while others more popular sites have fewer.

IS there a good reason why reviewfbi.com rank lightinthebox as the top 1 popular?
Let's get start; here I will quote part of the review
Quote
"When you make deals in DHgate, you are making business with its sellers. However, It is completely different here in lightinhebox.com. Lightinthebox is a merchant. It means you are doing business directly with them. You can complaint directly without any 3rd party handling and transferring"

My Opinion
If this is a advantage, then most wholesaler appeared on reveiwFBI got this one too

Quote
"First they have Google payment gateway... The merchant who applies google check out are only limited to merchant has US OR UK bank account. So your money is still under the watch of the USA bank.'

My opinion
Is this an advantage? Many online wholesalers offer PayPal, isn't it as secure as the google payment

Quote
"Lightinthebox are focusing on the wholesaler and dropshiper market. Their products have wholesale prices"

"If you are looking a better sources for ebay business or replace Doba or worldwildbrand.com, Lightinthebox may be your answer because it do support dorpship world wide"

". These copied iPhones are really crazing and cool for the outlook which is the same with Apple Iphone,"

"The other products are cool with competitive prices."

My opinion
Why all this so called "review" read like Promotions, do you agree with me!
When review other companies, reviewfbi.com would search complains about them via Google, that is part of their routine, this time, they just ignore this part. But we can do a quick search ourselves - tons of complains about lightinthebox

Conclusion:
reviewfbi.com is not a independent third party, there is a good chance they are directly responsible for lightinthebox.com, besides, reviews on reviewfbi.com are not accurate but rough ones.

Part2
Reviewfbi.com keep mentioning lightinthebox, below are part of orginal reviews

"There was no surprise in favordeals.com. The familiar lightinthebox template."

"It was quite crazy for it was a clone cat site, which copied almost everything from Lightinthebox. The design, wording or even site structures, maybe Lightinthebox is just too good"

"Bigboxstore.com had different technical implementation, comparing with actfind.com, which totally copied lightinthebox.com"

"We did not put high ranking on it for Mofeier.com was just another site using the popular Lightinthebox template at the beginning of our research"

Tradestead maintain a low price level - competitive, attractive. Speaking of quality, I say most of them are fine, if there are quality issues, you can ask for replacement. As for disadvantage, sometimes they may not ship the products in time.
