Wholesaledeals.co.uk scams
They own most of the websites which post all the good reviews. They own wholesaleforum.com and dropshipforum.com and a lot of drop ship scam blogs and many other wholesale scam sites.
They own these sites to try and hide bad reviews about themselves. Why would a honest company have so many websites posting good reviews about themselves.
Try saying something bad about them on there website and see what happens to your review ? Loads of fake people will start saying your talking rubbish and then later the review will be removed.
Try going on THE WHOLESALE FORUMS and talk about wholesaledeals.co.uk, guess what will happen ? The post will be removed and the forum owner, mods will say sorry we can't talk about that site.. Complete SCAM here.
The address means nothing they have had so many small claims court letters sent there nothing happens.
If you have lost money from this company you need to open a dispute with your bank and tell the world how you feel, someone needs to stop them from scamming people who just want to make a living.
I feel very sorry for all the people who signed up before reading all the bad press.
The deals are really old and the RRP is not true. You can find these suppliers by looking on google.
Bunch of middle men advertising and you can't make that much money dealing with middlemen.
Best to deal with manufactures direct and use escrow as payment or pay with a credit card with your paypal.com account.
If you feel you have been scammed contact your bank and if there charge back is more then 1% they will soon be removed
The company did everything to try to resolve the issue, but after several attempts to contact the complainant, no answer has been received. Therefore the complaint is declared to be untrue.
Wholesaledeals.co.uk and wholesaleforum.com and dropshipforum.com and all the other websites are honest are they ?
Love helping customers lose money, Im sure!
Thank you for the warning about the wholesale deals scam, with further research they also
own the esources website, another scam website with a poor reputation. Not a lot of social media content either, they would not like real customers venting their anger, so just lots of fake positive reviews on the forums and blogs they edit and own!
@ wdeals: Wholesaledeals co uk, esources and wholesaleforum are all for the same company and same person, Stefano Carboni. Make a google search of 'Stefano Carboni Scam' and you will be surprised with the many complains on this person. Make a who.is search if you want to confirm that these companies are registered under his name. They are posting a ling on wholesaleforum supposedly showing it to be an independant site where it clears its name. Wholesaleforum belongs to them only, so they can write anything on it! Try to write a negative review on any of the above companies on wholesaleforum and you will see it never appears. I once asked to meet them at wholesaledeals and they said it's not possible. Why? Simply because they are using a fake address (Gloucester Road, London) for their company address. They are also using a mobile number as their contact number so that they can block / refuse calls easily. I had an acount with esources and it was closed without notice couple of months after I bought a one year subscription. This was simply because I was not happy with the service and asked for a refund as per distance selling regulations only a few days after buying the subscription. They do not have a business email address, are using a fake office address and are writing professional comments to con peoples. Their esources site also mentions of money back guarantee, haha. Keep dreaming if you think you will get anything back. How will you get in touch with they if they do not have a contact address, email or number?
All in all wholesaledeals, wholesaleforum and esources are a total rip off.
The only place you will find good reviews about them are on their own website. Other places where you find so is by their own peoples posting fake reviews for the company. The one man behind this is the owner, Stefano Carboni. A who.is search will show all these companies are registered under his name. The registered business address is fake. They use a mobile number as their contact. I had my account closed without notice after 2 months I paid for a 1 year Gold subscription. They do not have a business email address nor a customer support. The name Priya is just a fake name. This Stefano Carboni is one of the biggest fraud I have come across. Make a google search on Stefano Carboni Scams and you will see that he is simply conning peoples.
Competitor fluff and again no proof of purchase and no proof of the statements made :D
1. Largest resource of verified suppliers in the UK (by a mile, 130, 000+ and growing daily)
2. Largest resource of profitable deals in the UK, unlike the sites posting these fake reviews, who are intermediaries and never update content.
3. All testimonials verifiable via an email trail, PayPal payment trail and electoral roll
4. Price guarantee on all deals purchased individually
5. Unlimited research
Try asking the posters above what proof their site can give you ;)
If you are smart, you can easily check the statements above. If you are a fool, go with the sites owned by the above sham posters ;) you'll be in for a nice surprise.

wish id seen this earlier... wondered why no deals would come up at all so was a bit naughty and captured the code
anyway pulled the code up, and there is no deals lol... that 'used' to be there the script for that element is gone, and replaced by links bypassing any sort of button that would work with a data base.
(you can see it in the code - where you would have a script generate an add to cart button... well have a look, its that amateurish you can right click inspect element and find it.
Copied a load of it, sendng it off to paypal and hist hosting provider (against their terms of use)
cannot see the site being up muchj longer, nor the dumby running it, massive level of 'obtaining monies by fraud and deception) - all the code ive pulled shows what this site is selling you is a fabrication as its simply impossible to do anything.
He will defo be getting bummed no lube in the nicker lol, the gangbangers love the little fat ###ers hehe :)
Competitors at it again : ), your posts make no sense ; )

I have to agree, scammers all the way and yes a fake London addess is a company office rental box with 500 other companies listed at the same building, no real offices or customer services, No wonder the CCJ are ignored! I would avoid or lose your money as they own all the fake blogs all over the net written by cheap Indian based SEO bloggers !

Thank you so much for you review.. now I think I will never shop there
This siteweb is suspicious, so I decided to read reviews about them and now I think I will never shop there
D Dodgy competitors at it again
Wholesale Deals is not a shop, nice but weak try again :)

I just did further research on the name Stefano carboni scam and he does indeed own wholesaleforum and dropshipforum the dot com versions, so all the positive reviews are on the websites he owns! This esources and wholesale deals website scammer is not advertising on any 3rd party or independent websites as is banned from them, also had a look at address, thanks Mohammed, address box is available from as low as £39 VAT. If you do require a wholesale company, check out , its free!
:) Competitors at it again. Whois information can be faked, the fact whois information is the same for all domains is proof that there is nothing to hide.
You, on the contrary, are a competitor posting using fake usernames. We understand it hurts to be so far behind with your service quality, however the solution is to work hard for your members, just like we do since 2004.
Wholesale Deals remains the largest database of verified suppliers on the web, new deals added daily, custom sourcing support and guarantee on single deal purchases ; )

Thanks again for your fake review though, each time it’s an opportunity to explain why we are considered the best and why you need to resort to fake reviews to remain in business ; )
What is very telling is that nowhere does Wholesale Deals (WD) demand retraction of supposedly libellous comments & accusations. I have been considering using their services but the fact that it seems no legal actions has been taken to defend their reputation makes one wonder if there is truth in what others accuse them of. WD says the comments are made by jealous competitors so if that's the case they must know who they are; so why don't they sue them? As i say I've not used their services but I am considering doing so, however what i've read worries me greatly.
Hi London9,
Thank you for your comment, no need to sue them :) We much rather dedicate our budget to our customers. Our competitors, if you can call them that anymore, have tried to bridge the gap by posting fake reviews. While they may have succeeded with some potential customers, they will never be able to bridge the gap in quality. We continue to offer the most comprehensive resource of verified trade sources on the Internet guaranteed, plus each membership includes unlimited custom sourcing support to guarantee you find the sources you need.
Again see wholesaleforum.com for details of the people posting these fake reviews.

Hi London9,
For the truth and additional review advice on the many rumours surrounding the wholesale deals scam, esources scam and Information on our owner regarding the stefano carboni scam just search for the "GAUK esources scam" website and read the honest report from this government auction website. Hopefully this will be able to put your mind at rest.

Hi Henry or should we say Mr. Tranter : )
It is now clear who is posting in this thread, which has long been marked by ComplaintsBoard themselves as Resolved (i.e. a fake), for a reason ; )
The gauk scam is explained at the following link, you can't miss it ; )
1. Go to wholesaleforum dot com
2. Search for gauk for details
The gauk poster who is continuing to post fake comments in this thread is upset with wholesale deals because we were the first to expose his stealing of content. If you follow the instructions above you will find information on where to find the information they try to sell you for free, because it is free information ; )
Gauk we understand that your stealing of content from other sites since 2010 hasn't paid off. That is just natural, you need to be dedicated to your customers to be successful, and offer something unique.

Over 150, 000 sources, because you steal them! You stole from so many websites. You're absolute scammers.
I was searching for wholesalers myself and have come across another report worth reading.
Google "ukdropshop esources scam" for another independent and honest review on the websites mentioned in this post.
Dear “Richard Trollop”,
There isn’t a single Richard Trollop in our entire 1.4m database : )
You have been trying to spread false information about us for years, and have always failed : ) You have now stepped up your efforts since July, probably because your services are waining and you dislike our success. We know you well by now, and you will do just anything to distance resellers from our services, just because we work much harder than you ; )
We continue to grow and we receive real feedback from our members every single day, that is all we require to confirm we continue to offer the best service in the business.
Uk dropshop and dropshipblog were part of a scam drop ship network which we were the first to expose in 2011, and which was since closed down. We will ALWAYS put resellers' interests FIRST, and have done so since 2004. Total dedication to our resale customers is our core value, which is what makes our service the best in its category. ; )
You can read all about the course of events on wholesaleforum.com (search wholesaledeals.co.uk on the forum for details)
You dislike WholesaleDeals because we offer lots of guarantees to premium members, guarantees which you cannot match in a million years ; ) Each member gets:
1. Access to over 170, 000 Verified Wholesale and Drop Ship sources, growing daily;
2. A guarantee that each member gets exactly the sources that he/she requires to succeed;
3. Custom sourcing advice based on each member's specific circumstances;
4. New Wholesale & Drop Ship Deals Added Daily
5. Money back guarantee / Price guarantee on single deal purchases
Real people have figured out your game, which only helps us offer even more value and excel where you cannot.
In short, we continue to grow and we love to help our customers. There is only one type of person who dislikes our success : ) And that person is an inefficient competitor who has every interest in spreading false information instead of focusing on customers. We love helping our customers, we have been dedicated to their well-being since 2004 and will continue to do so with complete passion and despite your fake reviews ; )
I am looking for wholesale companies myself and kept coming across all these reports about the esources website and its sister website wholesaledeals, so I decided to look for social media pages to talk to a representative of the company and ask them a few questions for reassurance.
I logged into their facebook page and asked them about all these rumours about the esources subscription and how well my money is protected.
The question was deleted from the esources facebook page and then I received a message to cease and desist all questions about these esources rumours or they would send a solicitors letter to my address which they would get from facebook!
I though WTF, its a social media page for chatting about your company and for being social, I did not ask in any derogatory way.
I asked a few more questions, they kept on deleting them from facebook and told me to stop bothering them in quite an aggressive way, then I was blocked! I was not happy at all with the response from this lady called Priya.
I then noticed out of 180, 000 members on facebook, no recorded activity from anyone on facebook over the years, just constant advertising, No social chatter from anyone! 180000 members and no social activity. My mate told me you can buy these facebook member accounts in the Philippines for a few dollars per 100.
They also have a wholesaleforum website, but I did not waste my time or energy in joining this website as such a poor social media experience!
I did not join or pay a subscription in the end as google lists plenty of wholesale companies in its search engine and business directory.
If you are not sure, ask them a simple question on facebook and see what kind of customer service you receive or what the response is.
Hope my experience helps.

I was seriously thinking of becoming a member of wholesale deals or esources, but i'm so pleased to have spent a bit of time investigating and to have found your opinions amongst others! thankyou... I see that wholesale deals and esources are the same company run by that stefano guy and it all just looks like another con, when will I ever learn? the old saying holds true... if something seems to good to be true it usually is! thankyou to all for sharing your expierences.
We have personally been affected by wholesaleforum.com for quite some time, and they even copied our website because they're such a scam. Stefano Carboni and his websites need to be taken down. He own e*orces, wh*lesaledeals, wholesalefor*m, and many more and scams so many people. They're nasty people, have threatened me in the past. They wanted me to close my website down because of what they're doing.
Do not buy from their websites.Total scammers. Always scamming on every website you find. They remove your reviews. They create fake accounts and write good reviews. The only website I'd trust you mentioned above is www.thewholesaleforums.co.uk - who were also on the scene much longer than wholesaleforum.
Thanks for the advice and warnings.
Dear "Competitor" with the most diverse names,
Do you really think people still read or believe your fake thread and fake comments? : )
Complaintsboard has already marked the thread and the comments as fake, what else is there to add?
You keep trying to thwart the truth, to what benefit? You are trying to bridge the gap by downplaying your competitors, what's the use? We'd much rather focus on our customers, thank you. We make our data fully searchable, nothing to hide and unlimited custom sourcing assistance.
That speaks for itself, however no doubt you'll have more lies to spread.
In the meantime, our customers are growing and stay with us for longer, a testament to the value we continue to offer. You could learn from us, even if we are your competitor : )
