	<a title="esources.co.uk reviews scams smear campaigns" href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/esources-co-uk-scam-reviews-creating-smear-campaigns/1044/"><img src="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/images.jpg" alt="" width="179" height="180" /></a>
	<div>Esources.co.uk review scam reviews and smear campaigns</div>
</div><strong>Esources.co.uk have been found creating scam review smear campaigns against their competitors. </strong>If you have ever heard of esources.co.uk, this will come as no surprise to you, and they have been blacklisted by just about every forum on the planet, for their scams, and frauds.</p>
<p>If you have been on the internet for any length of time, you will know that it is becoming more apparent that particular companies are <strong>using dirty tactics against their competition</strong>, and the tactics being used by esources.co.uk are just about the lowest you can use.<strong> <a title="esources.co.uk scam reviews smear campaigns" href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/esources-co-uk-scam-reviews-creating-smear-campaigns/1044/">Esources.co.uk</a> are purposely creating forums, Reviews, false scam blogs, and more to blatant lie about their competitors.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-1044"></span></p>
<p>Most companies would concentrate on pushing their own company, BUT, when like esources.co.uk, your business has a very bad reputation, one would decide to take two forms of action:</p>
<p>1: Repair your reputation by creating better value, and service to your customers.</p>
<p>2: Decide you are going to defraud the very customers who put food on your table.</p>
<p><strong>Unfortunately for their customers, esources.co.uk have decided on the latter.</strong> Esources have decided to create multiple false forums, false blogs, and pages, and saturate Google with false positive content about their own websites.</p>
<p>Not only that, and of course that is bad enough, but esources.co.uk have not stopped there. <strong>What esources have also decided to do, is slander ALL their competition, by fabricating THOUSANDS, UPON THOUSANDS of negative remarks against many, many companies.</strong></p>
<p>If you dont know the background. Esources used to sponsor most of the forums in the industry, UNTIL many of their customers started placing very many complaints again them, on these same forums.</p>
<p><strong>Esources threatened legal action against the forum owners, and even tried to blackmail them into removing the negative posts. </strong></p>
<p>Of course, the forum owners decided not to be blackmailed, and this is when esources.co.uk decided to try and get their own back.</p>
<p>What esources dicided to do, was hire an Indian marketing company, to systematically created false reviews, false scam complaints, and much more against their competition, with the intention of placing all these false review websites right at the top of Google.</p>
<p>There are many instances of evidence to support this:</p>
<p><a title="esources.co.uk scam reviews smear campaigns" href="http://dropshipforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=21223" target="_blank">Esources WholesaleForum.com Scam</a></p>

	<div>How to reduce debt</div>
</div><strong>Do you need to reduce your debts</strong>, and add a few extra pounds to your  bank balance in these hard times?</p>
<p>Everything from petrol, to groceries have shot up in price, and a large  majority of the British public are experiencing financial pain at the moment. <strong> What can you do to help yourself?</strong></p>
<p><strong><span id="more-1008"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Well, the first thing you should be doing, is making sure you know exactly  what your outgoings are, compared to your income. If you are surviving, without  going into debt, then consider this a bonus, because very many people are  sliding into debt without any help.</p>
<p><strong>Once you know your financial position, you can then start to make plans to  increase your finances, and get onto a firmer footing.</strong></p>
<p>Just KNOWING where your finances are at, is the starting point you need  to gain. otherwise, no matter what you do to help yourself, you will not know if  you are ever better off, and where best to place your attention.</p>
<p>The first thing many struggling people will do, or should do, is itemise what  they are spending, and then make a list of the expenses they really do not need.  For example, the chances are, that you will have certain subscriptions that are  not even benefitting you, or you simply don&#8217;t use anymore.</p>
<p>Once you have found out these details; removed what you do not need anymore,  then you will find out exactly how much money you need <strong>just to live</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Rent.</li>
<li>Food</li>
<li>Gas/Electric</li>
<li>Council Tax</li>
<li>Water Bills</li>
<li>Phone bill (Not mobiles, that IS a luxury!)</li>
<li>Etc., Etc.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>You should then have a monthly figure, of how much money you REALLY need.  Forget mobile phone costs, sky TV, and other similar items, because THEY ARE  LUXURIES, and if you are serious about getting out of debt, then you need to  wake up, and smell the coffee. Get serious, or your situation will probably  spiral out of control.</p>
<p>There is no worse feeling, than being in debt. The feeling that you debts  are just mounting up, and there is nothing you can do about it.</p>
<p>There IS something you can do about it, but you first need to be honest with  yourself, and strip back to the basics of what you need. It is almost like  starting again. &#8220;This is what I need to exist&#8221;. The rest being false economy, at  least for now.</p>
<p>Once you know how much money you need to survive on, then you will feel a lot  better about things, and can then start making plans to increase your income,  and then start to work on a  few of those luxuries that you have started  taking for granted.</p>
<p><strong>Plan for today: Make your list, and find out your exact financial  position. You will feel better for it.</strong></p>
<p>Remember, that if you can reduce your outgoings by removing payments you do not need, then this is almost exactly the same as increasing your income.</p>
<p>In another blog, we will work on what to do next, and how to actually  increase your income.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>Esources.co.uk, wholesaledeals.co.uk Reviews, Scams, Fraudsters?</strong></p>
<p>Well, those are the questions, and if the negative reviews around the internet  are anything to go by, then we advise that you steer WELL clear of them.</p>
<p>Directory scams, Validations scams, you name it, it is ALL associated with <strong> esources.co.uk</strong>, and <strong>Stefano Carboni</strong>.</p>
<p>Is it true? You decide, but read this first&#8230;.</p>
<p><span id="more-944"></span></p>
<p>Where do you start with esources.co.uk? The negative press they have received  around the internet must make them one of the most talked about companies on the  internet today, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>not</em></span> for the right reasons.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Looking for a wholesale directory? Avoid esources.co.uk?  Read on&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p>Most people looking for wholesalers, or <a title="dropshippers" href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk"> <span style="color: #000000;">dropshippers</span></a> will come across esources.co.uk  when searching for their chosen product ranges on Google, or other search  engines. On the face of it, esources seem fairly straight-forward, and a website  that just offers a compiled directory of wholesale and <a title="dropshipping" href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk"> <span style="color: #000000;">dropshipping</span></a> suppliers.</p>
<p>Esources claim to have 60,000+ <strong>VALIDATED</strong> (remember that word)  suppliers across the internet, with 178,000+ customers who have joined their  services.</p>
<p>Ok, you might think, but think about this. Esources.co.uk claim to validate  their suppliers, yes? So if they did not validate their suppliers, then their  customers would not pay them their fees? Of course not, why else would you use  esources.co.uk over any other free directory, if they were not claiming to  validate their suppliers &#8211; not when they are endless free directories out there,  like www.thewholesaler.co.uk. Customers simply would not use esources.co.uk  unless they lived up to their validation claims.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">But, are esources.co.uk really validating their  suppliers?&#8230;&#8230;.. NO, NO, NO, and NO !!!!!</span></strong></p>
<p>You see, as the internet has grown, many of these companies are being found  out for what they really are. We can prove, and have proven that <strong> esources.co.uk are NOT validating all of their suppliers</strong> &#8211; if any.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">What does this mean? <span style="color: #000000;"><a title="esources reviews" href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/esources-co-uk-reviews-scams-complaints-and-fraudsters/944/">esources.co.uk</a></span> are committing Fraud?</span></strong></p>
<p>We will leave that up to you to decide is esources.co.uk are committing fraud  against their customers. Although, if they are not validating all of their  suppliers &#8211; and they are not &#8211; then how can it be anything else?</p>
<p>More, and more dropshippers are now coming forward on forums, to claim that  they have never had any dealings with esources.co.uk, and that <strong>they were  included in the suspect directory WITHOUT consultation, and WITHOUT any kind of  contact, OR validation</strong> &#8211; In simple terms they were not, and never have been  validated by esources.</p>
<p>This means that esources.co.uk are most definitely taking money under false  presence? Again, that is up to you to decide, but the evidence is absolutely  rock-solid.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">The amount of bad publicity against <span style="color: #000000;"><a title="esources.co.uk Reviews" href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/esources-co-uk-reviews-scams-complaints-and-fraudsters/944/">esources.co.uk</a></span> is HUGE.</span></strong></p>
<p>If you do a search on Google against <strong>esources.co.uk, esources scams, and  esources.co.uk reviews</strong>, you will quickly see that there is literally an  avalanche of negativity including, but not limited to the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Esources.co.uk sending Scam emails offering  	fictitious jobs.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Esources.co.uk creating smear campaigns  	against competitors.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Esources.co.uk sending countless spam emails  	to customers.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Esources.co.uk taking payments they were not  	due.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Esources.co.uk cancelling customers  	accounts.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Esources.co.uk stealing whole databases from  	their competition.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">And much, much more.</span></strong></p>
<p>In fact, go to Google and type in <strong>Stefano Carboni</strong> esources and you  will be totally shocked at what you find &#8211; of that, we guarantee.</p>
<p>For forum details about esources.co.uk customer complaints see here:</p>
<p><a title="esources.co.uk reviews scams" href="http://dropshipforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=159739#159739" target="_blank"> http://dropshipforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=159739#159739</a></p>
<p><a title="esources.co.uk reviews" href="http://www.dropshippingforum.co.uk/dropship/viewtopic.php?f=12&amp;p=12672#p12672/Re:-eSources-esourcescouk-scam" target="_blank"> http://www.dropshippingforum.co.uk/dropship/viewtopic.php?f=12&amp;p=12672#p12672/Re:-eSources-esourcescouk-scam</a></p>
<p>These are from genuine esources.co.uk customers, you will see esources  themselves debating on some of these forums.</p>
<p>Again, you be the judge of whether this is true or not, but can so many  people really be wrong, when dealing with esources? Hmmm, I can already read  your mind as to your conclusions.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Forum, after forum contain countless unsatisfied Esources  customers..</span></strong></p>
<p>It is true, esources.co.uk have been banned from industry forums, for the  fact that they were antagonistic and rude to their customers who complained &#8211;  the evidence is still on forums for all to see.</p>
<p>Esouces have also developed a reputation of taking customers to court, and  traders to court who have spoken out against them, on public forums.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">The result? What are Esources.co.uk doing about this  shambles?</span></strong></p>
<p>That is what is interesting, because what esources.co.uk have done, is to  create a forum:</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">wholesaleforum.com</span></strong> &#8211; Fake forum &#8211; fake  members, fake posts &#8211; All of which can be proven beyond doubt.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>New fake forum created by esources.co.uk:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Dropshipforum.com</strong> &#8211; Fake Forum &#8211; fake members, fake posts &#8211; All Can be proven.</p>
<p>On this forum, the staff at esources.co.uk, or more likely Stefano Carboni,  has set about listing derogatory and libellous comments against as many  dropshippers and wholesalers as he can &#8211; in a attempt at revenge.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Stefano Carboni</span></strong> has also sent various emails to  these dropshippers, <strong>blackmailing </strong>them into removing content, in return  for esources removing content from their fake forum.</p>
<p>We have proof of such emails.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">The conclusion on esources.co.uk ? Scam, Fraud, or what?</span></strong></p>
<p>Again, you will have to decide this for yourself, but if esources.co.uk are  not validating their suppliers, which they are not &#8211; we have proof &#8211; then this  could very well be the biggest fraud of it&#8217;s kind on the internet today.</p>
<p>Spam emails, no validation of suppliers, cancelled accounts, payments taken  without the consent of their customers, stealing of databases, threats with  court action if you speak out? etc. etc. <strong>These are all accusations put to  esources.co.uk from THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS.</strong></p>
<p>And now esources.co.uk is abusing the trust of genuine researchers, by <strong> fictitiously and falsifying forum posts on their forum</strong>, in a direct attempt  to direct new customers to their esources.co.uk website &#8211; a website that has  been proven to attempt to dupe customers out of their hard earned money.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Our recommendation about esources.co.uk?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: x-large;">Avoid esources.co.uk like a CANCER!</span></strong></p>

</div>
<p>We are fast approaching a very exciting time in the <strong><a title="Dropship" href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk">dropshipping</a></strong> industry..</p>
<p><strong>Christmas..</strong></p>
<p>This time of the year, represents a time when all the hard work, if done correctly during the quieter months, comes into fruition.</p>
<p>As with any retail market &#8211; and if you are a dropshipper, then you are also in retail, this time of the year, the last quarter should be used to really push for profits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img title="More..." src="../wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /><span id="more-921"></span></p>
<p>If you are looking to make some extra money towards this festive season, then dropshipping can provide this avenue for you.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, at Christmas time consumers start spending money for fun &#8211; They are <strong>FORCED to buy presents</strong> for their loved ones, and friends &#8211; or made to feel, well&#8230; cheap as chips &#8211; something people pay good money to avoid!</p>
<p>Yes, no matter who you are, or what &#8216;circle&#8217; you belong to, chances are, that you will be spending money this year buying presents for your friends and family &#8211; even though you may not be able to afford to.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s life &#8211; fact, concreto, deal with it.</p>
<p><strong>But&#8230;&#8230; For the savvy amongst you, you will realise the golden potential about to be placed into your hands.</strong></p>
<p>Think of it this way, at no other time of the year, are so many people going to be forced to spend money and not even worry about the price. People will be dictated into splashing the cash like no other time &#8211; EVER.</p>
<p>It is said that the average family spends up to £1000 for their Christmas, with the bulk of this money going on Christmas presents.</p>
<p>Also, more and more people are spending their money online, and especially at Christmas time, with time being limited for most people. People will be spending online &#8211; no doubt.</p>
<p>If you have not yet become involved with dropshipping, then you really do need to do yourself a favour, and start today &#8211; right now, as <strong>THIS is the time</strong> when you can really start earning some money, and make Christmas easier for yourself.</p>
<p>Done right, these last 2 months activity, when spent on dropshipping, could pay for your Christmas, as well as throwing you into a positive new year.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/xkr.jpg" title="Jag XKR"><img src="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/xkr.jpg" align="left" alt="Jag XKR" width="250"></a>We currently seem to be spoilt with beautiful weather (in the UK). The only problem is it is massively tempting to <strong>not do any work and sit in the garden/pub </strong>and relax. Being starved of great weather the urge is often incredibly strong!<span id="more-342"></span></p>
<p>Last year I did have the tendency to put business second and sunshine first, luckily we ended up getting more floods then sunshine! However this is not wise and your business will naturally suffer from it.</p>
<h4>Think Of The Future</h4>
<p>I try to think of future summers, imagine having a gorgeous convertible Jaguar XKR <em>(imaged top left, click to enlarge)</em> sitting out front ready to be driven down the country lanes and deep into the sticks for a pub lunch. That to me is a dream worth chasing!</p>
<p>Naturally it is going to be hard to focus and think like this when the sunshine is here, right now and the grass looks soft and a cool drink is waiting in the fridge. But get your work done and enjoy the rest of the evening. Long-term you may be glad you stuck at it.</p>

Interesting eCommerce Stats</a> was first published on this website for <a href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk" title="Home Company Content">home business owners</a>.</p>
<div class="img alignleft" style="width:167px;">

	<div>Are Your Order Spreadsheets Filling Up?</div>
</div>Yesterday (Monday 8th Dec) was <strong>reportedly the busiest day for online shopping.</strong> So was your laptop going &#8220;bing, bing, bing&#8221; with the sound of the emails arriving reporting your paypal transactions, or was it a nice quite day at the office?<span id="more-206"></span></p>
<p><strong>Interesting Stats</strong><br />
Deloitte estimates online Christmas sales will increase by 10% this festive period. They put a total online spend for 2008 at £4.7bn, also a 10 percent rise year on year.</p>
<p>However the growth of web sales is beginning to slow. A &#8216;Capgemini IMRG e-Retail Sales Index Report&#8217; showed that online sales grew by 54% in the last quarter of 2007, compared with just 15% in the corresponding 2008 quarter.</p>
<p>The slowing down of growth has got to be in some part due to the credit crunch. <strong>But now is still a great time to set-up an online ecommerce business!</strong></p>

	<div>.....massive profits during December!!</div>
</div>Watching BBC Breakfast this morning they reported on the prediction that the economy will shrink by 1% next year and that we are already in a recession. This credit crunch is not fun and <strong>it is important you aim for bumper christmas 2008 sales</strong> to help your business through 2009.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t heard a great deal about what things will be like in early 2009 but I think it is going to be really tough.<span id="more-145"></span> Even with the credit crunch Christmas 2008 is going to see everyone buying lots of presents and treating themselves with the usual Christmas products like trees, decorations, fake snow etc etc.</p>
<p>But <strong>in the new year everyone will have to tighten their belts</strong> even more so than people normally do in the new year. I think consumer spending will be really low in the new year. If like me you run your own business full-time I have little doubt you have at least some concerns as a result of the credit crunch &#8211; even if this recession only lasts a year or two there are still bills to pay!</p>
<p>To help beat the struggle through next year I think you have to <strong>take maximum advantage of the festive period</strong>. I am a big believer in pushing your business through a recession and it is vital you keep agressively <a title="Invest" href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/2008/05/20/now-ideal-time-invest-your-website/" target="_blank">developing the business</a> if possible. This puts you in a great position when the economy recovers.</p>
<p>So make sure you have your <a title="Christmas plans" href="http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/2008/09/08/start-getting-ready-for-the-christmas-season-very-soon/" target="_blank">plans ready for christmas</a> and work your backside of to make every last single sale you can!</p>

</div>It doesn&#8217;t seem like to long ago that I was saying <a title="Christmas Time - Sell Now!" href="/2007/12/18/christmas-sales-2007-sell-sell-sell/" target="_blank">Sell Sell Sell</a>! And now Christmas 2008 will be here very soon. It is a fantastic time for retail sales so it is vital you are ready to start really selling so you can make as much profit as possible.</p>
<p><strong>So, when should you start preparing for Christmas?</strong><span id="more-99"></span></p>
<p>From experience I would say any time from now, and the sooner the better because you need to be prepared. One of the major supermarkets took delivery of all their advent calendars last week so they are gearing up already for Christmas.</p>
<p><strong>Level Of Sales Will Be Up&#8230;..Again</strong><br />
For years now internet sales have been on the increase and they will continue to grow. The 2007 Christmas period saw a 54% increase in sales compared to 2006 Christmas, and they predict a <a href="http://www.internetretailing.net/news/christmas-2008-e-tail-sales-expected-to-be-50-bigger" target="_blank">50% increase</a> compared to 2007! So even if you have been running an ecommerce store for years you need to be more prepared than ever.</p>
<p><strong>My First Christmas &#8211; Go On Beat Me!</strong><br />
I remember my first christmas dropshipping (2005). I can&#8217;t recall exactly how much profit I made but it was something like £160. It was an amazing feeling because the majority of sales came from eBay and a few from a crappy ecommerce store I had set up and linked to from the Nochex classifieds service (no longer exists). I only started selling a few days into december and my profit margins were not very good but I still made a bit of money off my own back with literally only a few pounds investment!</p>
<p><strong>If this is your first year dropshipping have a go at beating my £160 profit!</strong> A few months down the line the dropshipper closed and so my business was ruined because no other dropshipper sold similar products &#8211; anyway thats another story&#8230;. This christmas could be your springboard for 2009!</p>
<p><strong>Issues Of Christmas</strong><br />
The amount of online shopping people do at this time grows significantly, so mosts aspects of running your business require more time.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you are going to do more ebay listings you will spend more time making the listings</li>
<li>If you run an ecommerce store you will spend more time managing products out of stock, offers, new product etc.</li>
<li>More time answering customer questions</li>
<li>More time filling out orders with dropshippers</li>
<li>More time keeping your cashbook up-to-date</li>
<li>Its all about more more more of everything!</li>
</ul>
<p>Dropshippers will also be sending out info to you on products out of stock, when they will be sending out their last deliveries and other issues they may be having. So you have to really be on the ball to keep everything running smoothly.</p>
<p><strong>Christmas is a great time for small dropshippers &#8211; how do you expect to do this year?</strong></p>

	<div>Want To Earn More Money? Now Is The Time To Invest!</div>
</div>Due to the rising cost of living many of us are having to spend less money on other parts of our lives, one of those areas may be the amount of money you are investing in your business. With the economy being pretty gloomy at the moment many people can get worried and go on the defensive, but if you are to succeed an offensive approach is what is needed.<span id="more-38"></span></p>
<p><strong>So why is now an ideal time to start investing in your ecommerce website?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Due to the economic situation there will be some webmasters who need to sell their business (or at least some of their websites) to raise finance for their private life. Webmasters in this situation are likely to want to sell quickly, in their haste less potential buyers will see the website for sale and you might be able to get an established website for a great price.</li>
<li>There are also large companies struggling who may have to go into administration and sell off assets, you can pay to get lists of companies in administration, so contact the struggling companies directly to see what domains they have and you could strike gold!</li>
<li>If you can survive in the hard times then in the good times your business will flourish. I read an article in the Sunday Times a couple of weeks ago about a new company which has set-up a &#8217;Private Members Tea Club&#8217;. Despite the high set-up costs and the current economic situation the owner was confident he could survive and turn a profit even when financially the majority of Britain is struggling. Then when the good times roll his business will flourish. I think this notion rings true for online businesses just as much.</li>
<li>At the moment the value of online property doesn&#8217;t seem to be going in cycles like the offline housing market. From my observations the value of premium domains seems to be steady. And a website making the same levels of profit for the last 12 months will be worth the same or more than it was 6 months ago. Basically online investments seem pretty solid, especially compared to the stock market and housing market! So even though you are putting money in during what could only be the beginning of the hard times your investment should be a sound one.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>So if you want to build up your business and flourish over the long-term then now is as good time as any, if not better, to invest.</strong></p>
