Questions & Answers on China Area & Zip Code

Asked by NR from USA | Sep. 07, 2021 16:09

Is this address in China real?

The address I was given is Flat3,12/F, Favor Industrial Building 2-5 Kin Hong Street Kwai Chung, XIANGGANG 288236 China.
But when I look it up on Google maps, the address doesn't show up as written. How do I confirm that this address is real?

It's an online SCAM site, using XIANGGANG for HongKong, bait n switch online vendor.
Paypal is surprisingly unwilling to remove this Scam merchant's account.
I received an unrecognizable piece of junk instead of a tool set and got scammed for $48 USD.

Answered by John | Oct. 16, 2021 22:24

I got the same, didn't get anything close to what I was supposed to get, was also out $48. Shipping the part to China itself would be at least $40, so even if the address was real, I wouldn't be getting my money back.
