### Review for Global Sources: Beware of Scammers and Shell Companies

I want to share my extremely negative experience with the trading platform "Global Sources." Unfortunately, I found that this platform is a haven for scammers and shell companies. "Global Sources" appears to actively support and cooperate with these criminal elements.

Shell companies operating on this platform are even awarded the "advanced" badge by "Global Sources" and presented as trustworthy businesses. This gives a false sense of security and easily misleads unsuspecting buyers. Complaints and evidence of fraudulent activities are ignored by "Global Sources," allowing these shell companies to continue finding victims and committing fraud.

My personal experience with "Global Sources" cost me nearly $10,000. Despite multiple complaints and clear evidence against the fraudulent company, my issue was simply ignored by "Global Sources."

I strongly advise against using "Global Sources." Do not trust the "verifications" on this platform. Be cautious and choose a reliable trading platform. Avoid "Global Sources" at all costs!

What´s the point to have a website where all suppliers are fraud...?

I request a quotation in some Chemical product and all these people just ask for "sample" fee... Not less than $200 USD for a sample that they don't even know where to be send...
You must be very naive to send money to any of these low level people...

Anyways, I'm sure this is the way they make their living...

I lost a good amount of money to a scammer (MyCanna Inc) trying to order skincare products and it is how people claim that Global Source is 100% hand in hand with these scammers. Let alone expecting any refund but they won't even remove the account after your complaint and proof.

Having recently participated in a trade show organized by Global Sources, I can confidently say that it is the ultimate B2B platform in the market. The event provided an incredible opportunity for me to connect with prominent buyers in the industry. What sets Global Sources apart from its competitors, including Alibaba, is the caliber of buyers it attracts. I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of larger buyers who showed genuine interest in my products. The platform's user-friendly interface and extensive network of buyers made it effortless for me to establish valuable connections. Without a doubt, Global Sources has proven to be an indispensable resource for businesses seeking impactful B2B interactions and access to bigger buyers.

I already suspected they were a scam, but then they told me that I would only have to pay shipping and customs in advance then pay the remainder when the item was delivered. But the same day I get a message that my item is held up in Romania and now I have to pay almost the full price in order to get the item released! Just a few hours after making the deal with me,, I asked them to refund my 7000 rupees I had given as down-payment and they refused. Very bad business. Do not use this company.

I would not recommend this place at all. When u use them to send inquiries for a product, it doesn't just go to that vendor. They hv it set up to where other places see it also. So when u get ripped off they dont hv to cover it bcuz they will tell u everytime that the vendor is not apart of their network. I'm telling u rite now none of them r apart of their network. Its all a scam. Also what u see as a product minimum is also a lie. Bcuz every vendor want u to buy a whole shipping container when the post says one box etc. Customer service won't help u at all. Its all about tricking u out of ur money. I checked one star only bcuz it made me.

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.

They have no policy in place to protect customers. I still how scammers get verified accounts. Suppliers will contact you with intentions to defraud but the platform does nothing about if.

I believe the suppliers are regular people contacting suppliers to send samples to seem legit. When they get the large sum of money then you dont hear from them. After paying 30% of the money, they keep coming up with excuses to get more money. These companies are fraudulent and global sources website should really investigate these companies or maybe even be investigated themselves. These are not verified suppliers. They actually use company names then cut and paste their logos. I am starting to wonder if global sources is part of the scam. These sales people keep changing their names, websites, emails, etc. I would not deal with them. I've been trying to find a decent supplier on this site for 3 years and have done nothing but lost money. Oh, and even though they change names, they use the same name for all sales people and at different company, Lily Lin, Claire, Lily, Heidi, Peter, Rita, and Sales. These people do not work for theses actual companies, they are scammers

This is a very bad company to buy anything. One of the sellers scammed me and did not send the product, I wrote to the support service but they did nothing. Until now, this seller sells goods.
