Dear Mint,
Please understand, that these are recommendations based on research.
However, it is not Google Answers' job to be a "judge".
PT DUTA PRATAMA
<http://www.dutapratama.com/>
Negative signs:
- Site registered only recently; expires in two years.
- Claims to be an Indonesian firm, yet gives address in the United States.
- Site written in bad English
- Verisign faked
Verdict: Stay away.
**
MGIT JAPAN CO.,LTD
<http://www.mgitjapan.com/>
Negative signs:
- Site registered recently (Sep. 2005), and will expire soon.
- Server IP in the US, company claims to be in Japan (possible, my
site works like that, but dodgy).
- "For U.S. customers, we accept wire transfer, cashier's check, and
Escrow.com as forms of Payment. For non-U.S. customers, we accept wire
transfer only." - this method is also used by scammers. Why wouldn't a
large, established, wholesaler use some other methods?
Verdict: Fishy at best, but of all three, the least suspicous.
**
Martole Electronics
There is a company called Martole Digital, mentioned in most of the reports.
This is a highly suspicious company. Their website
(http://www.martole-digital.com/, inactive) is registered in the US,
although they claim to be in Indonesia.
Because it is inactive, one can only trust the conflicting information
that appears on the different B2B sites - with different names and
different claims.
Verdict: 10 foot pole.
I hope this answers your question. Please contact me if you need any
clarification on this answer before you rate it. |
