How Mary Was Scammed by a Verified Alibaba Supplier – Learn from Her Story

In May 2024, Mary, an Etsy seller from Sacramento, encountered a devastating scam after placing a significant order with a registered and verified supplier on Alibaba. Although the samples were flawless, the bulk shipment was of poor quality and unsellable, nearly derailing her business.

Understanding the Scam

Mary’s situation highlights the increasing sophistication of scams, even among verified suppliers on platforms like Alibaba. These scams often involve sending high-quality samples, followed by inferior bulk shipments, leaving buyers with significant losses.

How IntelliChain Helped Mary

When Mary reached out to IntelliChain Corporation, we immediately took action. We conducted a thorough on-site factory visit and uncovered discrepancies in the supplier's operations. We then helped Mary secure a reliable supplier and ensured her next order met the required standards, effectively saving her business.
