Avoiding Fake Suppliers in China: Red Flags & Tips

Don’t lose money before your shipment even leaves the port.

Introduction

China is the global factory of the world — but it’s also full of fake suppliers, fraud websites, and middlemen. For Nigerian importers, this can mean huge losses.

Here’s how we at Shali Global Services help you avoid scams and find only verified suppliers.


Common Red Flags

  • No business license or unclear company name
  • No physical address or fake office photos
  • Asking for full payment via Western Union or crypto only
  • Overly cheap prices that seem “too good to be true”
  • No ability to do a video call or factory tour

What Real Suppliers Offer

  • Business registration documents
  • Alibaba Gold Supplier or Made-in-China certification
  • Trade references
  • Clear product photos & factory videos
  • Willingness to accept bank transfers or escrow
