Wholesale/Drop Ship Scams Revealed
If you want to acquire products to drop ship or wholesale, where
do you look? There are all kinds of wholesale and drop ship list
for sale on eBay. There's bound to be lots of decent companies
right?
Not so, according to Chris Malta, the Product Sourcing Editor
for eBay Radio:
When you see all these "Incredible" lists and books and packages
of wholesaler suppliers and drop shippers for sale on eBay and
the rest of the Internet, for anywhere from $5 to $50 or more,
what you're seeing 99% junk.
There are thousands of scammers, snake oil salesmen and just
plain lazy profiteers on the Internet who are just lying around
waiting to AMBUSH you when you start looking for REAL wholesale
suppliers to work with. There is a whole niche industry built up
on the Net around this kind of scamming! The people who run
these scams have all the moral fiber of a box of hair, and the
only reason they even know the word 'Scruples' is from the TV
commercial for the party game.
You may have even fallen prey to one of these scam artists,
selling you their "insider" wholesale/drop ship list of
suppliers. Me too. I've bought so many lists that I can't even
recall how many. I don't know why, but I tend to find the "good"
in people, and I was "sold" by these marketing schemes time and
time again, even after being scammed by another. Finally, after
so many disappointments, I got FED UP. I decided to get to the
bottom of this fascination we all have with wholesale/drop ship
companies, and find out if there really were any LEGITMATE drop
shippers for buying "hot" consumer products at great prices.
I literally contacted the administrator of every wholesale drop
shipping website I could find. Posing as an investor, I managed
to convince the owners that I was seriously interested in
purchasing their entire website and business. That way, once the
dollar signs flashed in their heads, they would give me free
access to their member's areas to review what I would be
"buying". Well, I was disgusted with 99% of what I found. Many
of the owners actually boasted about how many people bought
their useless subscriptions. I repeatedly found:
*outdated lists *non-working links *links leading to other sites
that asked for more money *no help section *no real email
support *no refunds
I quickly realized that these so-called wholesale/drop ship
lists were totally useless. And the owners knew it, yet they
were laughing all the way to the bank! Needless to say, I didn't
respond when they asked if I was still interested in buying
their websites. Surprisingly, while sitting through all of the
scam artist's websites, I was able to locate a couple of
individuals that actually ran legitimate programs.
The owners were every day people like you and me that found a
way to make extra money working from home on their computers.
Their membership areas were impressive, with a good amount of
quality information on how to make $100-$200 per day on your
computer doing very little work. I even chatted with a few of
their customers in several online forums, and they verified that
they were making extra money through the sites. It was like I
found a few diamonds in the rough. But don't take my word for
it, you can visit the 10 sites I found below. See what you think.
They do charge a minimal fee for access to their program, which
is to be expected for any legitimate company that actually has
people on staff who are dedicated to helping you get started.
What a friendly group of people! Anyway, if you do decide you
are interested in any of the ten companies below, I advise you
to join quickly, as the owners have informed me that they are
getting so many new members by word of mouth referrals, that
they will be closing off membership completely by month's end.
(By the way, you didn't hear this from me!) They don't have a
large enough staff to accommodate many more people, and they are
dedicated to providing excellent service to each person. Well,
my search for legitimate Dropship companies has come to an end.
I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed with most of what I
found, and I strongly advise that you do not take any chances
doing business with any companies other than the ten listed
below! Whatever you do, I wish you a healthy, prosperous year
for you and everyone you love.
All the best.
