Fake Wholesalers And Payment Frauds: 8 Red Flags Every Kids Wear Buyer Should Know

Protect Your Money Before You Protect Your Margin

Many retailers have paid advance money and never received the goods, or received something very different. Careful checks before the first payment can save you from this.

8 Red Flags

1. No business name, address or contact person you can verify.
2. Prices far below everyone else, with no reason.
3. Pressure to pay the full amount immediately.
4. Payment asked only to a personal account with no business details.
5. No sample, no fabric details, no size chart.
6. Photos copied from other sites or brands.
7. No written order confirmation or invoice.
8. Refusal to talk on a video call or show their unit or stock.

Safer Buying Habits

• Start with a small trial order.
• Pay to a business account and keep every receipt.
• Get an order confirmation in writing with items, quantity, price and delivery date.
• Check reviews or ask for existing retailer references.
• Open and check the parcel soon after delivery, and record a video if possible.

If you face a fraud, keep all chats and payment proofs and report it through the official cyber crime channels.
