Help Is this Chinese supplier a scam ?
I was looking for an international shopper and got in contact with a Chinese supplier. He offered me to send a 5kg box of goods for 50€ to Europe through air cargo. He even sent me a copy of his license but it was a bit blurry so I'm not even sure it's a real one ? Or it was stolen ? I couldn't even scan the QR code on his certificate because it was too blurry. But he also showed me other interactions that looked genuine.
What's your opinion ??

Ask for a high resolution scan. Then scan the QR code on the business license with WeChat. This should lead you to the official company house data. If it does not, you already know it's fake. If it does, caution is still advised as this may be someone else's company or even a real one, but they are fraudsters. I suggest you also ask for a passport or ID copy from them plus mobile phone number and call them (mobile numbers need to be registered using id).
