Way too many listings at Supplier Blacklist involve scams targeting buyers of SD cards, micro SD cards, Flash drives and USB drives. China Sourcing Information Center did a white paper on the subject, here are some of their key points:

 

  • Because SD industry is so full of scam artists, you would be wise to assume the worst.

  • What kind of due diligence did you perform to confirm the seller is legit business selling legit quality products?

  • Did you conduct some QC before the goods were shipped?

  • Structure the payments so the upfront deposit is as small as you can negotiate and the remaining payments are not made until you or a 3rd party confirm the quality and order counter before the goods are released. If the seller fights the need for 3rd party QC, then they have something to hide.
