Fake Inquiries


Companies are moving online to promote their products in all over the world. Some customers are potential and show their interest towards a particular product and some are fake customers whose main motive is to do deception.   

As I am working as a marketing consultant of the Chinese company who is exterior door hardware manufacturer  and deals in door and window accessories. My main objective is to promote their company’s profile, products and generate inquiries for them. Recently I came to know that there are numerous fake buyers exist in this world who tries to do fraud and Nigerians are one of them. I got one inquiry from Nigeria and he was asking for 25,000 pieces of door handles. The email sent from Nigeria but the customer was saying that I live in USA, after the verification of buyer details I got to know that he is a fake buyer. He said send me the products and I will pay you once I receive all of them. On an average, I used to get 5 to 6 fake inquiries a day consisting from Nigeria and UK. 

We need to verify the buyer details first then entertain them otherwise you will waste your time and effort both.
