    Payment via bank transfer only (except for VIP customers). The on-line
    form even has a box for "taxes" which they add to the checkout total.

    Nuff said.

    vk cameras was another one. They had prices low enough to be a bargain but high enough to seem legit. The site itself looked dodge but i bet they caught a lot of people out. Gumtree is unreal for scams, both buyers and sellers.

    I think it is a bad idea to post direct links to these scam
    site offers. Some poor fool might just take them seriously.
    You might think this is unlikely, but remember that some
    people actually fell for the Nigerian 419 scams.
    I need your help to get a big box of money out of the
    country etc...

    Is in my view a REAL CHINA PAYMENT GOOD BYE SCAM.

    Read the form of payments, very unusual for a shop-front in Beijing. The address in google does not exist: Company Address : Wangfujing Building, No.6, tianwang RD., Haiden District,Beijing,China.
    Tel: +86-010-82226512 E-mail: sales@bestownstore.com

    Payment to [and get this] The Name of "Company - Person" named by as recipient changes. And the "address appears as a front" 1.Beneficiary's Bank : China Merchants Bank，H. O. Shenzhen
    2.SWIFT code(BIC): CMBCCNBS (or CMBCCNBSXXX)
    3.Beneficiary's a/c no. : 6225881205673527
    4.Beneficiary's name: DENG JUNFENG
    (First name: DENG, Last name: JUNFENG)
     5.Bank address: China Merchants Bank Tower No.7088, Shennan Boulevard, Shenzhen, China
    6.Beneficiary's address: Waiwen Tower No.1, Suzhou road, Shenzhen, China

    Paypal is only available for VIP MEMBER.
    Foreign exchange system is very strict in china, and PayPal is also strict for Chinese.
    Normally we can cash the dollar in PayPal account about 2 months later after business. This has enabled us to the very large cash flow pressure. At the same time, the Renminbi appreciate everyday, two months time means we can cash less. And in the process of cash , we need pay many commission charge, lots of profit was swallowed. To open the foreign market, we sell our merchandise on a cheap price, only get a reasonable profit .
    On the other hand, for the Chinese PayPal account, funding is very limited capacity. We must economize the PayPal capacity for our big payment with the long-term customers. This is the most important. Please understand us.
    Become VIP MEMBER: buy from here more than 5 times or first order form and chooses above €3,000 pays Wire Transfer (T/T).

    IS A SCAM - DO NOT TRANSFER FUNDS, AS YOU WON'T GET YOUR MONEY BACK, AND I DON'T THINK THE GOODS WILL ARRIVE...

    SITE LOOKS REAL UNTIL YOU LOOK CLOSER - SEE PAYMENT METHOD. NOT A PROCESS FOR REAL COMPANY TRADING ANYWHERE ECSPECIALLY IN CHINA FOR THE TOURISTS... TOO CHEAP,
