Hi, i apologise for the long post but i urgently need help. Any replies are appreciated. I have a big order for eyeshadow palettes on hand now.
I have been considering Shenzhen Jingfuyang Cosmetic Brush Factory.
I have tried reading up on them for days but i could not find any reviews or fraud scam incidents.
I tried to verify their phone number on this website: http://www.numberingplans.com//?page=analysis&sub=... and it was stated that it is a "geographic number" which means they have a physical land line.
However, what makes me suspicious is the website they provided : www.chinacosmeticfactory.com
When i tried to visit this link from my computer, the page could not be found.
I emailed them asking why is it so and they replied me saying they have not used the website for more than a month and asked me to refer to alibaba instead.
However, my friend who is from the same country as me could visit the given website without any difficulities.
They are a gold member on alibaba, but based on my research i understand that being a gold member means nothing at all.
I enquired about payment details too.
They asked me if i have a paypal account and when i said yes they asked me to make payment to an individual's name.
When i enquired why i am unable to make payment to the company itself, they told me that the company only accepts T/T because when they applied for a paypal account, they used their lady boss's name instead. Following that, they sent me an email with the company's details.
This is the email i received :
