In the past, my usual approach to all webshops was, who needs insurance.
I have been reading up on GB. It seems that a lot of uninsured goods from GB go MIA.
But maybe that was only from the era they acually sold something.
Looked at their new website and must say that I’m not impressed by their prices.
IMHO GB is doing something very clumsy with their website.
After the -search “nitecore site:gerabest.com” you come to the Nitecore corner.
From there you can go anywhere as long as you are NOT clicking on home page.
And there was the Gearbest data breach Report - Gearbest Hack: Hundreds of Thousands Affected Daily by Huge Data Breach. Their customer database was left wide open. When confronted about it, Gearbest denied it, then later said “it’s fixed”. Weeks later, someone posted that it was indeed not fixed, and never was. In fact, he showed how anyone with the slightest computer knowledge could view the GB database. Wide open to the public.
Personally, I don’t trust any of these companies, including Aliexpress. If they don’t take paypal, I don’t buy from the them.
Yeh, I was gonna suggest, one last cash-grab before going under completely?
Rack up a bunch of new orders, fake shipping them and/or stalling, then when maxed out, transfer all funds somewhere safe and pull all plugs simultaneously.
Site is accessible but no ordering is allowed for all regions. Doesn't look good at this point. I logged in to replaced my shipping details with dummy texts.
