India full of scammers!!! Just lost $600 today.
Hey guys
Just to share my experience buying from India.
As there is raw shortage, nobody has the powders, we tried the India Market.
The first day, registered on the IndiaMart with my phone number, just browsed some suppliers but send no inquiries.
Unexpectedly received several messages from some suppliers, I was wondering how these guys got my contact. Then I read all the messages and picked up the one which I think looks trustable. I was very cautious, coz I have heard that there are scammers around and many of my friends are ripped off in the past. So I wasn't prepared to make the purchase.
I browsed some suppliers on the other day, sent inquiries, got some replies, they are either too expensive or looks fraudster.
So, I turned to the one who contacted me on the first day.
He has s website, and a web shop on ExportersIndia, he confirmed his identity on the platform, this really convinced me.
Made 3 orders, 1 of the orders is sample order 1gram to Jano for testing, before I pay, they claim they can ship, but after payment sent, he told me min order 100grams and asked me to pay $50 to increase the amount to 100grams. That is his final trial to scam $50 more. I asked him to ship the other 2 orders,
Now, No response at all.
Hopefully my experience will be a reminder for forum members who are going to purchase from Indian suppliers.
