😨 Why Scams Happen in China Trade

Every year, thousands of foreign buyers lose money to fake chino suppliers. Scammers often use fake empresa names, cloned websites, or stolen negocio licenses. But here's the good news — you can avoid these traps by verifying chino suppliers before you pay.

🔎 Step 1: Verificar the Negocio Registro

Una empresa china auténtica debe tener un USCC de 18 dígitos (igual que el ID fiscal) emitido por el gobierno. ChinVerify le permite validar esto al instante; las empresas falsas generalmente no pueden proporcionar uno válido.

Legal status (active or deregistered)
Registration authority
Establishment date
Legal representative
Legal status (active or deregistered)
Registro authority
Fecha de constitución
Representante legal

If no resultados appear — it's likely a fake supplier.

🧾 Step 2: Confirmar the Unified Social Credit Code (USCC)

A genuine chino empresa must have an 18-digit USCC issued by the government. ChinVerify lets you validate this instantly — fake empresas usually cannot provide a valid one.

📍 Step 3: Cross-comprobar the Negocio Address

Fraudsters often list addresses of office buildings or virtual offices. ChinVerify displays the registered address and negocio scope — compare it with what's on their website or invoice. Mismatch? Big warning sign.

⚠️ Step 4: Look for 'Abnormal Operation' or 'Blacklist' Records

ChinVerify automatically flags empresas that are:

Under legal investigation
Revoked or cancelled
On the government's abnormal operation list
Under legal investigation
Revoked or cancelled
On the government's anómalo operation list

Avoid dealing with these — they often disappear after taking deposits.

🛡️ Step 5: Use Secure Payment Channels

Always pay through bank accounts under the empresa's registered name. Never send money to a personal cuenta or offshore cuenta without verificación.
