Esources.co.uk, wholesaledeals.co.uk Reviews, Scams, Fraudsters?
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.
Directory scams, Validations scams, you name it, it is ALL associated with esources.co.uk, and Stefano Carboni.
Is it true? You decide, but read this first….
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 not for the right reasons.
Looking for a wholesale directory? Avoid esources.co.uk? Read on…
Most people looking for wholesalers, or dropshippers 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 dropshipping suppliers.
Esources claim to have 60,000+ VALIDATED (remember that word) suppliers across the internet, with 178,000+ customers who have joined their services.
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 – 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.
But, are esources.co.uk really validating their suppliers?…….. NO, NO, NO, and NO !!!!!
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 esources.co.uk are NOT validating all of their suppliers – if any.
What does this mean? esources.co.uk are committing Fraud?
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 – and they are not – then how can it be anything else?
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 they were included in the suspect directory WITHOUT consultation, and WITHOUT any kind of contact, OR validation – In simple terms they were not, and never have been validated by esources.
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.
The amount of bad publicity against esources.co.uk is HUGE.
If you do a search on Google against esources.co.uk, esources scams, and esources.co.uk reviews, you will quickly see that there is literally an avalanche of negativity including, but not limited to the following:
- Esources.co.uk sending Scam emails offering fictitious jobs.
- Esources.co.uk creating smear campaigns against competitors.
- Esources.co.uk sending countless spam emails to customers.
- Esources.co.uk taking payments they were not due.
- Esources.co.uk cancelling customers accounts.
- Esources.co.uk stealing whole databases from their competition.
And much, much more.
In fact, go to Google and type in Stefano Carboni esources and you will be totally shocked at what you find – of that, we guarantee.
For forum details about esources.co.uk customer complaints see here:
http://dropshipforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=159739#159739
These are from genuine esources.co.uk customers, you will see esources themselves debating on some of these forums.
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.
Forum, after forum contain countless unsatisfied Esources customers..
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 – the evidence is still on forums for all to see.
Esouces have also developed a reputation of taking customers to court, and traders to court who have spoken out against them, on public forums.
The result? What are Esources.co.uk doing about this shambles?
That is what is interesting, because what esources.co.uk have done, is to create a forum:
wholesaleforum.com – Fake forum – fake members, fake posts – All of which can be proven beyond doubt.
New fake forum created by esources.co.uk:
Dropshipforum.com – Fake Forum – fake members, fake posts – All Can be proven.
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 – in a attempt at revenge.
Stefano Carboni has also sent various emails to these dropshippers, blackmailing them into removing content, in return for esources removing content from their fake forum.
We have proof of such emails.
The conclusion on esources.co.uk ? Scam, Fraud, or what?
Again, you will have to decide this for yourself, but if esources.co.uk are not validating their suppliers, which they are not – we have proof – then this could very well be the biggest fraud of it’s kind on the internet today.
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. These are all accusations put to esources.co.uk from THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS.
And now esources.co.uk is abusing the trust of genuine researchers, by fictitiously and falsifying forum posts on their forum, in a direct attempt to direct new customers to their esources.co.uk website – a website that has been proven to attempt to dupe customers out of their hard earned money.
Our recommendation about esources.co.uk?
Avoid esources.co.uk like a CANCER!

I also unsubscribed to esources emails, and STILL receiving them. I am sick to death of getting them now. Tried the free service which was a waste of time, and now all I get in endless spam about upgrades.
Arrrrrr!!!!!
I agree about the spam. You cannot trust a company that sends spam, and if you just do a look on the internet there are LOADS od posts about spamming. Esources is full of old info anyway, and I advise you just search on Google, which is free anyway.
I absolutely hate spammers!
esources.co.uk are DEFINITELY A SCAM! They have been taking money from my credit by for no reason, after I emailed them to cancel. I have emailed, emailed, and emailed to try and get refund, by they just say I did not cancel.
I want my money back esources, and I will be taking this to court. Have my word on that!!!!!
If there are any others who want to join forces with these scammers, then please let’s get together and force this mickey mouse outfit out of business once and for all!!!!!

Esources.co.uk scamming seems to be very blatant, and their smear campaigns are systematic.
Definitely one to be avoided, as esources have also threatened many of their customers who speak out with legal actions!
So glad I found this before parting with any money. I am pretty shocked at what esources have got up to. It is lower than low what they are doing.
All I wanted was to find some genuine wholesale suppliers, not enter into world war three. I will be staying well clear of that website.
Do not do business esources they are def a scam website. Many free website offer same.
Do NOT, NOT NOT, give esources your email address, as they will SPAM THE LIVING HELL OUT OF YOU. I even tried to unsubscribe using the unsubscribe link thinking the spam would stop.
Guess what????? ESOURCES STILL SEND THE SPAM!!!
I wasted my money with this esources website. Loads of the telephone numbers on their suppliers are not even businesses, but people trading from their houses, and even then most don’t answer the bl**dy phone to new business.
I expected genuine wholesalers, and not two-bit hustlers selling from their houses. Waste of my money. I asked esources for a refund, but suddenly my emails are not being replied to…………………. strange that……. as all emails were replied to before I paid my wasted fee………….. (Dont trust!)
I paid to join esources (I know, I know, I should have done my research first), but I believed all the sales bumth on their site. I then started trading with one of their **tradepass** suppliers, only to be royally ripped off, wrecking my ebay feedback, as no orders were sent, no emails were replied to, and in the end I had to put in paypal disputes with the supplier. I also put a paypal dispute in with esources.
I will never use esources again, and wish I had never heard of them.
Pauline
If you want wholesalers go to thewholesaler.com better suppliers than esources, and they do not charge you.
Thank you very much. This is not the first place I have read very bad reviews about esources. Back to the drawing board I suppose.
As a sole trader Mr Carboni is PERSONALLY liable for claims so we served the relevant County Court papers (available from your local county court and a small fee which is recoverable when successful) upon Mr Carboni at his address. The court received a reply to the summons confirming the address unequivocally.
Each successful county court claim will severely affect a person’s credit rating. A single CCJ will cause huge problems when trying to get a mortgage, even when trying to renew an existing one – a couple of CCJs and a person is effectively ostracized from the credit system. If a person has a couple of CCJs they will find it practically impossible to get credit of any description.

Good article, informative too, usually with these kind of sites you can find most of the resources yourself if you do your homework and a few hours on google!
Yes, terrible site indeed! Fake office address too!
Still getting spammed as well…
What a horrible, horrible mistake that was.
esources, world wide brands salehoo and all those type of sites are bordering on scams, because you are paying them for information that is already free.
Don’t pay, you will lose your money. All you need is a browser and Google to find the same suppliers.
We are going to be taking legal action against esources.co.uk as we want our money back from the rubbish we have been provided with.
If you want your money back, don’t hesitate to take this to court, as we are doing. We will see how esources react when they get the court letters.
The spamming is also insane. And we are now sending everything we get to spamcop. I suggest all you do the same.
We must put a stop to these people.
Contact me here hibernatorsales@yahoo.com if you want help with your claim, or to combine our efforts.
I was also a victim of esources and their rubbish website. Spam galore, poor suppliers, and much more.
Don’t waste your money people. esources, or whatever they call themselves are NOT worth paying for.
Hibernator I have emailed you.
Thank you for this information. It has saved me a headache, and some financial loss.
I also did try and obtain a refund from esources after not being happy with their services.
They ignored me, and refused to reply to any of my emails. I am not out of pocket for a service that is useless to me. I am thinking of taking action against them.
Where do I start, when taking action against esources?
I have had my lifetime subscription suspended by Esources because they say I have shared my signon with others. In reality I have signed on from my laptop and my home computer.
I served a county court judgement and Stefano Carboni has replied to court saying that Esources is a business that is legally based in Italy and therefore this case should have been referred to the High court or an Italian court.
Are there any legal experts out there?
Can we club together to get our money back?
His telephone number according to the letter he sent to the court is +39 393 196 5815
My email is magicmitch@hotmail.com
David Mitchell
Here is a copy of the letter from esources avoiding all legal proceedings in the UK, and claiming to be based in Italy when presented with a Count Court Judgement -
As you can see, Carboni has also blatantly lied by claiming the license was ‘repeatedly shared by others’.
Also, Carboni stated “It is with great surprise that today I received this letter”. Why Carboni? When your business is being advertised as being UK based, with your registered offices being advertised as a UK address? And only when you are presented with a County Court Judgement do you claim your business is based overseas?
This is fraudulent behaviour of the highest order!
I wasted my money with them too. There are free alternatives out there.
Very interesting indeed, Mr Mitchell, that a company who advertises as being in the UK, with a UK registered offices, then hides under an Italian address when legalities are thrown in their direction.
I am sure we can all see the theme here.
It may be worth then looking into the logistics of serving the papers for esources to the Italian County Court.
I also don’t think you would have any shortage of takers, from other unsatisfied esources customers, when looking to bring Stefano Carboni to task.
That letter is UNBELIEVABLE!! Avoiding the UK courts when esources are clearly advertising their business as being in the UK.
That has scam written all over it!
Second posting on this:
To all of the above – Stefano Carboni is lieing – esources is soly owned by Stefano Carboni – his personal address is:
Flat 73
Leeward Court
Asher Way
Shadwell
London
E1W 2JZ
This is confirmed on the electrol roll – this is also confirmed by the VAT office – his VAT registration is at this address. Simply pursue the county court action citing that Carboni is lieing – take proof of the lies by printing off some of the forum comments
DO NOT LET CARBONI LIE HIS WAY OUT OF THIS – TAKE COUNTY COURT ACTION. ONCE A CCJ IS SECURED THE NEXT STEP IS THE COURT BAILIFF WHO CAN VISIT CARBONI’S HOME AND SIEZE GOODS.
Plus you have the satisfaction of knowing you’ve shafted his credit rating.
The other key factor here, is that Stefano Carboni, who owns esources.co.uk and wholesaledeals.co.uk is a SOLE TRADER, which means he is personally liable for his business activities.
I also found the following amazingly negative reviews about esources.co.uk, wholesaledeals.co.uk and their blantant scams:
http://www.thebiggestclearance.com/forum/index.php?topic=42.0
Shocking accusation of TheBiggestClearance.com by Esources.co.uk
Recently Esources contacted our hosting provider behind our backs with the lies and the following accusation :
They accused us from publishing a completely fabricated and untrue review of two of their websites
( obviously esources.co.uk and wholesaledeals.co.uk mentioned in the post ) with the attempt to illegally gain the market share.
Esources accused us from picking up their negative reviews and extending their distribution with the intentions of personal gains.
All this behind our backs directly to our web hosting provider without having a chance to look into the issue. Shame on you Esources !
If they went straight to our hosting provider with such findings without contacting us first and maybe trying to
discuss or resolve the whole matter, I assume there must really be something truthful about the post. Isn’t it ? Or was it just a reason
for causing us a damage as a competitor ?
To Esources.co.uk and wholesaledeals.co.uk – We are definitely not in a need of gaining a market share by faking our own posts or
spreading untruthful or made up information, all this illegally.
We decided to leave this post opened for the further discussion.

SCAM REPORT: esources contacts – Stefano Carboni
All of the following is true and a statement of the facts.
I too recently had cause to ask for a refund of subscription fees to esources.co.uk
After subscribing I found that much of the information was out of date and the claims made on the website regarding the quality and quantity of the information were simply untrue.
Furthermore, they have a system that monitors your IP address. Mine changed for some reason and they simply suspended my account without warning. I tried to contact support but got nowhere.
After a little more research trying to find a contact I find that esources.co.uk are talked about all over the internet and the main person, Stefano Carboni is linked to many unsavory activities.
As I have read on many forums I became yet another victim of the firewall set up by this company. it appears that all of the contact information is simply false. 27 Old Gloucester Street is an accommodation address and as I subsequently discovered, is well known to the Met for the cover address of many scams over the years.
So the problem it appears for many of us is how do we get recourse?
Luckily for me and not so for Mr Carboni, my business partner trained as a lawyer so knew precisely the route to take.
He checked the Electoral Roll/Council tax register on 192.com with a search for Name: Stefano Carboni Location: London – There are two premium results and after paying their fee we acquired the address.
As a sole trader Mr Carboni is PERSONALLY liable for claims so we served the relevant County Court papers (available from your local county court and a small fee which is recoverable when successful) upon Mr Carboni at his address. The court received a reply to the summons confirming the address unequivocally.
Each successful county court claim will severely affect a person’s credit rating. A single CCJ will cause huge problems when trying to get a mortgage, even when trying to renew an existing one – a couple of CCJs and a person is effectively ostracized from the credit system.

Re: E Sources (esources.co.uk)
ESOURCES ARE A SCAM! I have had them taking money out of our account for the last 5 months even though our subscription ended a long time ago. MOST SUPPLIERS ARE SCAMS. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THEM
THEY DONT REPLY TO EMAILS, DONT HAVE A PROPER ADDRESS, AND DONT OFFER TELEPHONE SUPPORT
IM STILL TRYING TO GET MONEY BACK FROM THEM.
SCAM!!!!!!
http://www.cashloopholes.co.uk/wholesale-dropshipping/3482-e-sources-http-www-esources-co-uk-2.html
esources are the biggest scam outfit I have ever come across. I paid my fee and then they locked my acount for no reason other than I used another computer to log in. They locked the account and still keep taking money.
this is an outrage – how do you stop them?
I searched google and there are hundreds of people getting ripped off by them!
does anyone have any contact details for esources becasue the ones they have on their site are fake?
I really wish I’d done a simple search on this company before I parted with any money. I saw a review on a forum – wholesaleforum.com/ but this is a scam and a con, this site seems to be owned by esources and all the comments are fake!!!! They are all put up by editors – this is what all the reputable wholesale furums are saying.
My experience is terrible and I’m getting scammed, like lots of other people. If only I could find a real address.
http://www.cashloopholes.co.uk/wholesale-dropshipping/3482-e-sources-http-www-esources-co-uk.html
I would be careful when using esources as, make sure you read all the small print, I personally think they are a con. I signed up, used their site because i thought i would get access to all of their site and was only going to try it for one month, they continue to take money there after on a subscription basis. Not only that you do not get access to all the information. BEWARE!!! They also refuse to give any refunds and do not respond to your messages, even after i cancelled my subscription with them, they still proceeded to take money, for nothing.

STEFANO CARBONI SCAM ESOURCES
Here we are again!!!
A quick Google search on the phrase: ‘Stefano Carboni Scam’ will reveal a surprising number of results: http://www.google.com/search?q=stefano+carboni+scam&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
An acquaintance of mine has been actively exposing Carboni and I applaud the fact that he has not been scared by Carboni’s ridiculous legal threats and rebuttals on forums and other websites.
There appear to be no end of people who have nothing good to say about this person and here is yet another report for your perusal.
I have been asked to write this by Auctions International Ltd who run a network of auction, surplus stock and wholesale websites in anticipation of Carboni as it appears that anyone attempting to reveal the truth about him is subjected to his own form of retaliation … well we say bring it on Carboni.
The trump card for anyone on the receiving end of Carboni’s legal threats is that to bring any sort of action he’d have to come out of hiding from behind his false addresses … That’ll be revealing!
There is nothing in this report that can’t be fully substantiated by factual evidence and screenshots.
This coward hides behind his accommodation addresses and never answers his mobile. Occasionally, when you do get through, incredulously, his mummy answers.
For those who have been on the receiving end of Carboni and were interested in the face behind the frauds and threats, here he is:
Pretty eh?
Having a meal with the money scammed from hard-working, honest individuals.
So what has he done now to incense yet another person to bash out on the keyboard?
Mr Carboni appears to be doing very well from selling information on his wholesale network of websites so you would think that a little honest investment in data input wouldn’t be too much to ask.
But no!
Auctions International first became aware of Carboni’s existence when he approached them through one of their websites asking ‘if he could promote the auction data as it would be a good match for his service’. A few mails were passed and nothing came of it, mainly due to the fact Carboni failed to deliver on any of his promises.
So imagine the shock and horror when they found through routinely searching and checking seo, esources suddenly coming up under auctions related keywords!!! … especially as only a few weeks prior they absolutely no auction database and only maintained wholesale data.
Miraculously, Carboni had managed to find every auctioneer in the UK ‘through organic research!!!’ (a feat that took Auctions International several years of ongoing work to accomplish), and place it in his database that, astonishingly duplicated that of Auctions International to the letter. Even the categories were word perfect; words that had been entered by a hard working researcher.
Naturally Carboni was approached and said it must be a ‘data input mistake’ and ‘would look at it’ … of course he didn’t and the data is still appearing on his other website wholesaledeals.co.uk which, again appears to be trading at an accomadation address: http://www.google.com/search?q=60+Windsor+Avenue&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
However, a quick who is search on the domain and hey presto! Carboni rears his ugly head: http://who.is/whois/wholesaledeals.co.uk/
Now, not content with stealing data and publishing it as his own Carboni has recently stooped even lower … if that were possible.
Auctions International have, for 15 years, published wholesale data and when Carboni set up after scamming another contact in 2006 must have soon realized that they were a competitor and probably, although they can’t prove it, has been systematically stealing that data too.
This year Auctions International has been undergoing major changes and rebranding – They brought their wholesale data under the main website.
Imagine the utter astonishment when they received a mail from their hosting company whereby they had received a copyright infringement claim!!!!
Yes! Carboni is now claiming copyright ownership of data he stole from Auctions International TWO YEARS AGO!.
Although laughable it is actually quite serious as they are now having to defend their position and present their evidence that Carboni is actually, factually, as low as they come.
Auctions International have now filed thier own Copyright Infringement notice to Rackspace, Carboni’s hosting company and to Nominet the Internet registry for .uk domain names. And I imaging it won’t end there…
We’ll be posting this article around the web and encourage anyone who has had a run in with Carboni to not sit and take it but get it reported on the web.
Carboni can threaten all he likes but the truth will out!
eSources is trading on stolen data and anyone paying is funding the luxury lifestyle of scam artist.
We urge you to get the word out.
Stefano Carboni … Scam Artist, Data Thief and Career Criminal … to be continued!
Update: We are pretty certain this is the address of Stefano Carboni taken from the electoral roll. Letters were sent and not answered. if this was not the right Carboni we are pretty sure the innocent party would have responded.
If you take a look on google street view, you’ll see a gated development. The perfect hide out for this scam artist and thief.

Mr. Stefano Carboni And Wholesaledeals.co.uk
Mr. Stefano Carboni Of eSources Seems To Have Been Somewhat Busy In The Scam Sector.
Isn’t fate a strange and flirtatious creature?
Here I am being ripped-off by Mr. Stefano Carboni, and his “Trade Portal” eSources; when I check out search terms on my blog and see that someone has arrived at my pages through a search in Google for the following string, “stefano carboni scam“.
I think to myself, “Hello, what’s this?“, and follow the link to the Google search page where I find a number of links connecting Mr. Carboni’s name to the word “scam“, and not in a very positive way. Actually, in a very negative way.
Interestingly the first two listings are mine. One I published on the RipOffReport website immediately after I lost my first money to him in April; and the other directing people to my previous eSources article in this blog.
Another Of Mr. Stefano Carboni’s Sites.
Another Of Mr. Stefano Carboni’s Sites.
The third link connected me to a site called UK Fraud Forum, where I found an article simply entitled “wholesaledeals.co.uk“. In which article an individual describes his or her attempts to get the goods for which they’d payed £ 476.80. This individual had tried to email the site, for support, backup, and information; however this was apparently nothing but a send message function, not a real email address, and so simply bounced back.
Additionally, no one answered the phone, as is also the case with eSources, where they provide a phone number to make the page look legitimate, but don’t “offer telephone support“. Meaning, absolutely nobody to talk to at any point in the event of anything going wrong.
This person, then got on to the police, their bank, and also the Trading Standards Office, but eventually got Mr. Carboni’s attention by ordering goods to the value of £ 30,000, but didn’t complete the payment schedule section.
By which point, it had now been three weeks that this individual had ordered their goods, without them having arrived, and had been unable to attract Mr. Carboni’s attention by any of the usual media.
Now, however it would seem, that since Mr. Carboni could see the potential of reaping a £ 30,000 windfall, as it flickered across his screen, or shot him off an email warning him of a failed transaction of £ 30,000; within a mere hour of seeing this failed transaction notice, Mr. Carboni himself called the victim. Isn’t greed a wonderful motivator? Evidently, he hadn’t checked the details of this “client“, and wasn’t aware that he was in for a bit of an ear-bashing.
In the complainants own words, “it went on from there. a few excuses followed. delivery never turning up and another excuse, and on and on. they turned up in the end but some things were broken, items were of a cheaper nature then what i ordered. i definately will not use them again. one of the worst companies i have ever had to deal with.”
I think this individual was extremely lucky to even get these things. It’s quite possible that Mr. Carboni’s own greed for the possible £ 30,000 was behind this individual getting anything remotely resembling his or her actual order.
Another point to note is that the street address, as published on this website is different from the eSources address; moreover, the complainant, in this particular case, did a little research, and discovered that the post code for the address given, was not actually in concord. A fake address? They didn’t match. I haven’t confirmed this myself, but I’m quite interested to try the same with the eSources address. Although, I have recently been informed another victim of Mr. Carboni’s unusual business practices, that the address for the eSources business is merely a postal address, and the business doesn’t reside there in actuality. Indeed, this former victim is in doubt as to whether Mr. Carboni’s business enterprises are actually located in the UK.
Why not publish a real address? What’s he got to hide?
So, what do we have here?
We have faulty addresses, no phone, no proper email service, failure to deliver, and only contacting the client in the hopes of getting his hands on £ 30,000.
Another interesting connection to Mr. Carboni is to be found on the following link to a page on Data Wales’ website entitled:
“The fake job offer fraud. They promise a percentage, but you would lose money (and possibly your liberty). The checks they send are forged!”
Where they list the following, “Stefano Carboni, eSources UK, esources.co.uk, 27 Old Gloucester Street London WC1N 3XX, st.carboni@yahoo.com.hk.” as being an alleged perpetrator of such an email scam or fraud.
It’s interesting to note that, Mr. Carboni doesn’t use his eSources email address, as one would expect from a respectable business person, but uses instead a Yahoo, Hong Kong email address.
Why is that I wonder? Something to hide perhaps?
Moving on, I next find Mr. Carboni’s name connected to the Antifraud International website, where his name is listed at Number 286 on the Representative Fake Cheque Scam (RFCS) page.
Sprinting on, we next find Mr. Carboni’s name mentioned on the Scam Baiter website in connection with the RFCS cited above; and again on the 419 Scam site, and on.
So, it certainly seems that Mr. Carboni has a history of fraud and scamming; unless he has been the victim of identity theft himself?
Check it out for yourself at Google.
If you have had any problems of this kind with either of Mr. Carboni’s websites, please email your details to me. Thank you!
Keep you posted!
And there are so very many more negative reviews about esources.co.uk, and wholesaledeals.co.uk, and Stefano Carboni
So grateful i found out bout this scam before paying monies
ESOURCES.CO.UK IS DEFINITELY A BIG WHOLESALE DIRECTORY SCAM.
THEY SHOW NOTHING BEFORE YOU PAY, AND WHAT YOU GET IS OLD AND OUTDATED SUPPLIERS. THEY WOULD NOT REFUND ME AND BLOCKED MY ACCOUNT. WISH I HAD READ ALL NEGATIVE REVIEWS BEFORE PAYING THEM.
SCAMMERS!!!
I’d never even heard of esources before I started looking for wholesalers. Now I am so pleased I did my due diligence and research. They sound like a real bad company to deal with.
I also agree. I have used esources, and they just spam you, and the details of suppliers are rubbish, and do not repond.
Here is the esources.co.uk email scam as seen on fraud watchinternational:

Glad I did a check on these guys. This guy sounds like a huge scammer..Getting spammed already from them. Was considering for about 5 minutes whether it might be worth joining up for paid services but so glad i didn’t now!! I got this recommendation from someone I know who is not a scammer but put this down on his list of top 5 sites at number 4. I’ll alert him to all the bad press, and to get rid of it, as it’ll affect him also by recommending such dodgy guys.
Thx. I have a similar experience, it is great that someone found the courage to acknowledge. ESOURCES.CO.UK is bad company.
I went with esources.co.uk because they claim to give a esources free website. The result is that the free website is USELESS. There advertising all over it from their host, and you have to PAY to get it removed.
Who would want a website that says **this is a free website** all over it? No wonder it is bl**dy free, it is useless. You can also only put a few products on this site, and if you want to put more on, THEY CHARGE YOU.
It is a scam, an ultimate scam, and esources should be utterly ashamed of their scam advertising techniques.
I have put a chargeback in with my credit card company. When i asked esources for a refund, they did not even reply to my email, and they never answer their phones. Typical scam behaviour.
I’m impressed, I have to say. My research on esources.co.uk, and wholesaledeals.co.uk lead me here, and it was a google search worthwhile, let me tell you.
Thank you dropshipblog, for helping me avoid a rather large mistake!
I’ve been having a problem with esources and have sent 5 messages to their ‘customer services’and have still not heard anything in reply. Shocking customer service (or lack of it) !!!!
Hi Kat,
Sorry to hear you are having trouble with esources.
If you are looking for free supplier resources, then feel free to visit the following forum: http://www.dropshippingforum.co.uk
Best of luck.
I have been trying to cancel a esources account which i never took out in the first place.when i was in hospital last year my nephew got onto this company gave him my debit card information and has been charging me £15 a month for something i have never used .I have tried every month for 6months to cancel this had no replys my bank wo’nt cancel it because they have my bank details.What do i do to stop this i cannot afford this payment as i am a pensioner
Please help
Hi Lena,
I am sorry to hear that esources are charging you monies for services not received.
Depending on how you paid, you may wish to contact your credit card company and do a chargeback. Companies such as esources.co.uk rely on their customers not knowing how to cancel, and such monies can soon mount up.
Good luck with claiming your monye back from this scam outfit.
It is also making a note, that esources.co.uk have created yet ANOTHER SCAM, AND FAKE FORUM:
Dropshipforum.com - No doubt this too, will be filled with imaginary posters, fake posts, all with the attention to direct traffic towards the esourcers scam website. Beware Folks!
Another thing that hasn’t been mentioned above is that esources are paying for Google Adwords to their fake forum about anyone that has crossed them in the past. Take a look at http://dropshipforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=21223 which explains what I mean.
thanks, that helped me a lot! I was considering joining esources. Not now!!
regards,
Chantal
Hello, nice to know I am not the only one not happy with E sources. We should combine and take action. I am tired of being scammed on the internet.
Malcolm James.
I have been put off by these people (esources) so where else can I find wholesalers?
You can find wholesalers for free, just by using Google search. Or http://www.thewholesaler.co.uk which is a TOP directory and 100% free.
Here is proof that esources.co.uk are created yet ANOTHER FAKE FORUM. dropshipforum.com
Notice how they have already started creating fake posting, and members on brand new threads, all about esources scam, esources reviews, wholesaledeals scam, wholesaledeals reviews.
They have done this so that the search engines will show these threads first, in a direct attempt at manipulatiing ALL their new forum visitors, using false positive reviews about them. Then, when a potential customer searches on Google, guess what will be at the top of the searches for words like: esources scam, esources reviews? You guessed it,
THEIR OWN FAKE POSTINGS.
Which IS fraud!
Surely esources has now got to be the biggest scam on the internet??
See the following video for proof of all their fake postings about themselves:
Esources really does have no shame!
Esources are also directly advertising their scam forums using two accounts on Google Adwords, which is against Google’s Rules. They are not only self creating the false posts, but also directly advertising them.
See Here:
How much more fraud do esources.co.uk wish to commit??
Thanks for the warning on these. All I wanted was to find some genuine wholesalers, and now I find that esources are not only scamming, but have also set up multiple forums to continue their scams. It should not be allowed.
Great article. Stopped me in my tracks, and definitely stopped my payment going to esources. Thanks.
Quite a lot of time spent to find research on the website esources, and after reading I will not be joining them.
I have also been ripped off by Esources. I took a years subscription out January 2010 and didnt read the small print (there was pages and pages of it).
I didn’t realize that my years subscriptions was on auto renewal and they would debit my Paypal account the following year.
Even with auto renewal, I would have expected them to do as my car insurance does, which is contact me a month beforehand to remind me of the renewal, payment date and details etc, to give me time to decide whether I wanted to go ahead with the renewal, or cancel.
What they did was, send me an ‘invoice’ for the renewal on the same day they debited my Paypal account (probably done at the same time). I responded to the invoice telling them I did not want to renew my membership, but when I checked my Paypal account, they had already taken payment.
They refused to answer my emails requesting cancellation and refund, so I opened a Paypal dispute, which I lost. Paypals buyer protection seems to be written in water.
I checked my esources account, out of interest, and have been suspended. I emailed them asking for my money back, as I no longer have access, and received an email informing me that my account has been suspended for fraudulently trying to claim against them from Paypal. No mention of any refund, of course.
The whole outfit is sickening and their Italian Law clause is just another way of wriggling out of responsibilities. How they get away with operating in the UK amazes me. Where is the Office of Fair Trading in all of this?
Also, I spoke to a few of my suppliers who I met at Trade Shows, and who are listed on esources. And guess what? They had never heard of esources.
I have kissed goodbye to my £50 now, but have at least cancelled the Paypal auto payment so they can’t get any more off me. It simply amazes me that such traders can get away with such fraud and continue trading.
It also raises issues, in my mind, about companies like google who are no doubt being paid to push esources and his fake forum to the top of the search results. I realize the internet is difficult to police, but there is enough money being taken by google and the like to put a system in place that bans certain sites from using their Adwords facility, surely?
I am sorry to hear of yet another customer of esources.co.uk being scammed out of their hard earned money.
Although no, they don’t pay Google to be at the top of their pages, they create fake forums instead:
wholesaleforum.com
dropshipforum.com
Both fake forums, as proven above.
The fact that Stefano Carboni claims to have his scam businesses registered in Italy when court orders are brought against him, shows how far he, and esources are preapred to go to protect a blatant scam that is no doubt bringing in a lot of fraudulent money for esources.
Esources are now operating one of the largest internet scams around at the moment, and when you consider all their fake, and false testimonials they have to show, and fabricate, then it is obvious they think they are beyond the law.
Esources.co.uk are also creating false reviews, as well as having negative reviews removed from here:
http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.esources.co.uk
It just shows how far they are prepared to scam their customers.
It is a shame.
It’s pathetic that i lost my money too, hate them!!! I searched in google and find esources and wholesaleforum, they guided me to register esources as a premium supplier, and get suspended in less than 10 days. After more than 50 days of struggling with them, now i will just give up, say goodbye to my $250, but anyone can help me find a good place to list my company and products that is not expensive? I want to enlarge my wholesale and dropship business in UK and Europe.
Yes, esources.co.uk and wholesaledeals.co.uk are owned by a well known, and notorious Italian fraudster called Stefano Carboni. He has been scamming on the internet for many years.
If you have been scammed by Stefano Carboni from esources or his other scam websites, please report the frauds to:

London Trading Standards are already aware of Stefano Carboni, and his bogus websites, and have a dossier on him, so please contact them.
ESOURCES.CO.UK definite scam website. they have scam forums too that trick people into spending their money. known scamming set up. we were a supplier on their books even though we did not ask them to insert our details. we asked esources to remove our details as we were getting loads on unrelated questions, and esources refused to remove the details.
scammers.
Business is marred by a new fraud everyday. We should try and not debase the business, new sellers are running away or getting too skeptical to dropship nowadays with so many frauds online, and it looks like this esources is yet another online fraud.
Ive already escalated my paypal transaction as they refused to refund my 75 pounds. I cant even believe they created fake forum to defend and promote their scam! how are they still operating? they are a total scam!
I purchased a lifetime membership from esources.co.uk in 2009. exactly a year later to the day they sent me an invoice for £79 for another years subsription to their website. I sent them various emails demanding a refund and they just either ignored me or sent me a reply with threats of court action.
I took the matter to a small claims court and they failed to defend themselves. So i asked for a summary judgement against them and the court ordered that they must pay me back what they owe me.
Since then i have written to them with all the proof from the small claims court judgement, and a copy of the original paperwork that they sent me which clearly states that i had indeed purchased a lifetime membership from them.
Their reply was amazing…they said that i was using false information and asked me if i was aware that if i give false information in a small claims court that i would face possible jail time?
They have picked the wrong person to mess with and I will now be taking this matter to a whole new level!!!
esources are def a scam website.
DO NOT GIVE DETAILS
Many free website offer same.
http://www.wholesalers4u.co.uk is the best FREE one i have seen
To all our blog visitors.
It now seems that esources.co.uk and Stefano Carboni has taken their online fraud to a new level, by targeting even more companies with false reviews in an attempt to drive traffic to their fraudulent websites.
This is Carboni’s latest fraud attempt:
dropshippingscams.co.uk
Notice this page:
http://www.dropshippingscams.co.uk/dropshipland-co-uk-reviews-review-scam-spam-forum-telephone-number-complaints-and-fraudsters
Notice the dates on the postings, some as far back as 2010. BUT, check when the website was registered, and to who:
http://www.rapidsitecheck.com/whois.php?domain=dropshippingscams.co.uk
Registered April 2011
Registrant:
Trade Publishing Snc di Stefano Carboni
The website dropshippingscams.co.uk was registered in April 2011, thereby proving that all the postings are fake, and in fact, what Carboni, and esources.co.uk have done is directly copied THIS blog and changed the name of the genuine esources complaints to that of a competitor.
Yet another obvious fraud by Stefano Carboni and esources.co.uk, and one that cannot be fabricated.
You cannot replicate the registration date of a website – although Stefano Carboni, and esources.co.uk are obviously too committed to their frauds to appreciate that their customers will check such failings.
Stefano Carboni has now hired an Indian team of content writers, and link builders to try and hide the frauds commited by esources.co.uk. For proof of this, please see here:
As you can see, pages, and pages, and pages of false content written by esources.co.uk, by their Indian content writers, in a direct attempt to fool the search engines, and to hide their negative comments on the frauds they are committing.
Esources.co.uk = The ultimate online fraud
Esources.co.uk, and their attempt at tricking the search engine visitors, and esources attempt at libellous comments against their competitors:
Esources are now systematically creating false websites, with false content to trick, and defraud THEIR customers, and make other companies look bad. Blatant proof above!
In fact, that whole page in the video above, was STOLEN by esources.co.uk from this very blog (this page, in fact). Esources have stolen YOUR CONTENT, genuine comments from dropship blog customers.
It is not the first time esources have been caught stealing content, and even databases from their competitors, in a direct attempt to defraud their own customers, and hide their crimes.
If the above videos are true, then esources really are stupid aint they!!!!!!
Will they be theiving this comment too?
They have constantly taken money from my account . £25 a month and even telling them after 1 month I dont want to use the site they have not replied to my 11 emails. SCAMMERS
Steps to be taken :
1- I would like details of every single person / company who were scammed by them sent to this address
urgentreplies@gmail.com
And how much you have lost .
after that we will evaluate and apply to court along with trading standards and start a criminal investigation as well as a compensation claim .
Lets get together and take this scammer down
Thanks guys, you just saved me a lot of money and a lot of hastle, cheers
I was just about to sign up too! I’m looking for game systems/laptops/and tvs to sell, I already sell iphones and ipads but I need a bigger variety…if you guys have any luck,email me at hugesavers@aol.com
Total scam..joined up and realised I could find nothing and cancelled within 5 mins and they are refusing to give money back. Will report to trading standards.
So, so pleased I have found this website. I signed up to esources last week, and have now put in a paypal dispute after reading this.
THANK YOU!!
I wished I had found this site before I signed up for ESOURCES !!
I had an accident a couple of years ago and have had to find a new career. So I am now finding my feet in the dog eat dog world of the internet.
I have met a few unsavoury characters over the years working as a soldier and then a plumber on building sites. This did not prepare me for the parasites I have encountered so far on line!!
I will now be adding STEFANO CARBONI of esources.co.uk to my list of people never to deal with again!
I thought I was getting good at spotting the scammers and thieves that there are unfortunately an abundance of on line. I checked what was being said about this site on a couple of blogs. Guess what I think maybe Stefano was writing these himself! However STEFANO CARBONI of esources.co.uk has had me over for £25. Of my very limited funds. Well done!
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND! (THIS IS AIMED DIRECTLY AT YOU STEFANO) as I am sure you keep an eye on these blogs. One day you will rob the wrong person!
I admire you in a small way, as you are obviously a fairly astute man and you have worked hard at doing what you do. It’s a shame you need to stoop to this level to make a living, as I am sure you could make your money without ripping people off!
As money gets harder to find, people start to take loosing it a lot more personally.
You can keep my £25.00 as It has taught me another valuable lesson in that you need to check more than a couple of places when parting with your money! Then check again!! In all fairness I have made a couple of good contacts, (I could have found these with a straight forward search) so let’s hope I will make my money back.
These parasites who make a living from cheating other people out of their hard earned money are degenerates. They are scum who put food on their table, by taking it from the table of others!
I believe that at some point we all pay for our wrongdoings these parasites are no exception.
To my fellow entrepreneurs out there that have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with the kind of cretins I mention above. I wish you the best of luck for the future.
To the cretins I say, YOUR TIME IS COMING!
One last thing if you have signed up for esources be sure to cancel your subscription as quick as you can. Use a free site or find what you want yourself.
BE CAREFUL
Kind regards
WRD67
Thank you so much for this review, I have been looking for wholesale products for my online retail webshop and will not be paying for any subscriptions to this scam artist and his websites. I will stick to Google, and the free sites such as thewholesaler.co.UK and wholesale-outlet.co.uk
Surely trading standards could fine or shut down these scam websites such as Esources and wholesale deals!
I signed up for a 1 month subscription and esources took 4 months without informing me.
Well it doesn’t surprise me to read all this i just wish that i had seen it before joining the wholesaleforum and now i am going through paypal disputes to try and get my monies refunded for their (esources.co.uk) failure to provide the services they promised. I makes for sad reading and gives genuine wholesalers like us trying to establish an internet presence a bad name. what i find confusing is there are many suppliers using the wholesaleforum to advertise?
Please do not confuse with wholesaleforums.co.uk they are a great friendly bunch and full of information and useful tips.
(edit by admin) Peter, all the advertisers on that fake wholesale forum are affiliate links, esources would not genuinely let others advertise on there, because that would defeat the object of a false forum, that is solely created to direct traffic to their own scam websites, or an affiliate that makes them money.
Double scam – either way.
Stay away from esources.co.uk. My sister-in-law owns a wholesale company and they are listed in the esources directory WITHOUT permission.
Stay away!
scam!!!!!!!!!!!!! I joined esources last year and they renewed my subscription without my permission. Scammers of the highest order!!!!!!!!!!
Very good tip. When you looking for such kind of material you should check double check and check again because it’s your money. Too many scams about, and esources look like one of them.
Good tip.
I’ve been scamed by them. About a month or two ago I have paid 2 x fees as a Buyer and Supplier.
Since than my account is on HOLD due to some stupid reasons. They’ve been checking whether our company legit or not for the first month, I than contacted them and said why is it so bloody long, than they said that they want some info from me, sort of company registration paperwork etc.
Ofcourse I email them with everything they’ve asked me for, but I also asked why the hell they never asked to do so a month ago?
So it’s been another month or so now and My account is still on hold.
There are no phone numbers to call tham, unless somebody here knows one? But by contacting them via email I just get stupid box standard replies with bizare reasons about why my account is still on hold.
NOW I ended up paying about £150 and with some reason I feel I never gonna get these money back.
I wonder if anyone can help guys?
Thanks in advance.
hi all, I’m in the process of starting a new online biz and was looking to join Esources to find legit suppliers. What other similar sites are best to avoid, and what would you say is a legit site to find the latest suppliers and wholesale deals?
thanks
New Starter, wholesaledeals.co.uk is also owned by the scam outfit known as esources.co.uk, so best to avoid them too.
The Italian frausdter Stefano Carboni owns very many scam websites, and blogs/forums, which is where he tries to trick his customers. His gives foreigners a bad name.
We are all for a multicultural society, but when such foreigners are blatantly scamming the British public, fleecing them of their hard earned money, then government should really step in and have a word with the Italian officials, where Carboni, owner of esources is also known to the police, and authorities.
If you are genuinely looking for suppliers, then there are some great resources being mentioned around this blog. Here is one of them:
http://www.dropshipblog.co.uk/free-uk-wholesale-suppliers-and-free-dropshippers-directory/1035/
The videos on this thread show 100% how the esources.co.uk is being carried out. It is an internet crime how they are getting away with it.
Good Luck.
Are esources still around? I joined them around 18 months ago, and they were useless then, always sending spam, after spam, after spam.
I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE EMAILS.
Massive scam alert here about esources.co.uk They are being rubbished on EVERY forum out there, apart from the ones they are using the scam their victims. I was nearly another esources victim, but I was lucky enough to read online reviews about them, which told me the truth.
Just how long will this scam go on for???? I mean thousands of people must now be getting scammed by esources?
It has to stop before the ruin the internet for honest traders.
Let me give you an example, on how far this esources review scam can go.
Showing how esources.co.uk are using sheer fraud when trying to attract customers using reviews. Now also remember that esources also own wholesaledeals.
See this, this is esources.co.uk fake forum, which is 100% fabricated with false reviews, and content about esources themselves. Look at the top traffic generators:
Now, look at the esources website itself, and see where the traffic is coming from, those very same reviews that esources have fabricated via their forums, blogs, and other false site:
The esources.co.uk fraud, and scam is HUGE!!
report him to here :
http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/report_fraud
Interesting, very interesting. Their website looks good, and convincing, but now i have done research and looked behind the scenes, I can see the fraud that esources.co.uk have created around themselves.
A BIG, BIG red flag………………………………… avoid them, something is very wrong.
Looks like I found this blog in good time. I was just about to subscribe to esources. So pleased I didn’t now.
Thanks again folks.
I registered with esources as a supplier and 3 months later they are still claiming that my details are still being checked (when you sign up they say it takes 5 days). They refuse to give a refund.
Pure, pure scammers. I have now tried to get a refund from my credit card company after esources website took a duplicate payment. I will not let this go!
Hello.
Can somebody please help me to get a refund from esources.co.uk? I do not feel the information they provide has any value. I feel silly really, because I believed reviews written on a wholesale forum, but now I am reading everywhere that esources own the forum, and have lied to me.
I want a refund as I cannot afford to lose money on this scam.
I am not happy with the wholesale directory presented to me by esources.co.uk
I wish I had done research first. I feel I have been cheated by these crooks.
I really cannot believe what I am seeing. Was I really that stupid to join esources with reading proper reviews about what they are doing.
David Cameron please stop honest buyers getting scammed online please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found esources when searching for whoelsale companies and it was the worst experience of my life. They have now shut my account down for just asking questions, saying silly things about ip addresses. They have stolen from me and there is nothing I can do.
I am reporting esources to trading standards now, as I cannot accept this.
I was roped into using the esources website, and they have just debited my paypal account for a second time without my permission? I want a refund and they are ignoring me, and laughing at me in emails.
You will get your day.
I joined Esources.co.uk after seeing reviews on the first of google, which convinced me to sign up.
I have since found out that all the reviews were written by esources, and they have duped me… and I will probably not be the past customer they dupe.
It is illegal.
As soon as I seen the directory esources offered me I immediately asked for a refund.
I was not satisfied with it. They refused to refund me though
Thank you for all the information above.
I did wonder if something was wrong with my esources.co.uk membership, after speaking to a few suppliers and they had never heard about esources, which I found strange having just paid for access to the esources directory. I thought I had been scammed, and now I KNOW I have been scammed.
I have gone to paypal to try and get a refund from esources, and also emailed them, but esources called me a joke, and said I should not have used a different IP address for membership, then suspended my account and kept my money.
Not happy.
Esources are scam city. I joined them last week, and when I contacted one of the suppliers in their directory, they told me to go somewhere else, and also told me that esources do not have any rights to sell their details.
So my esources membership is now useless as a 20 year old stamp. I wish I have read reviews about them first. Oh boy, I would not have wasted my membership money with them.
I paid for one months subscription and they took out two! they have denied it! when i then proved it to them they said ‘all money is non-refundable!’
I have asked them to phone…… nothing!
what else can I do!?
what a load of crap. esources are the most unreliable collection of wholesaler and dropshippers you will find on the web. There are far better sources than those crooks.
I will never touch esources again!!
Steer well clear! If you happen to be unlucky enough to have subscribed as I did, they will not remind you your subscription is up, and will therefore simply debit your account with absolutely no forwarning! This guy is an idiot and deserves FULL EXPOSURE ON BBC WATCHDOG!
Hello Grant. Yes, unfortunately you have been another victim of esources and their deceptive ways.
You will never be able to trust a company that advertises they are operating in one country, when the truth is, when they are questions by the courts, they claim to be operating from Italy, to avoid legal recourse.
When you place those facts, together with all the negative comments esources receives about their service, with cancelled memberships for no reason, repeat billing without customers knowing, poor directory (that can be obtained for free anyway), rude customer services, and false reviews they saturate the internet with, then it becomes very clear that what esources are offering is a 360 degree scam.
Unfortunately, you have paid money to them, but hopefully your comments will stop others from do so.
Thank you.
Why are companies like this allowed to get away with what they do, and scam people. There should be some kind of regulation to this. I was just about to enter my paypal details when something told me to check them out first.
I was nearly another sucker, and victim.

I was just about to join this company until I did a search on the search engines and found out there are a scam.
You have saved me a lot of money. What other companies do you recommend other than esources?
I would be interested to know, thanks. Regina
Don’t waste money with esources, try wholesalepages instead, they are far better from the other scammers.
I wish I had never used esources if I am perfectly honest. I asked for a refund as soon as I was granted access to their poor directory. Lesson learned.
I am SO, SO grateful to this blog for warning me about the website esources.co.uk. You have saved me from fraud. Thank you.
I joined esources yesterday, and canceled and asked for a refund almost immediately.
There was nothing of use in their directory, and they are now refusing to refund me
Wow, I wanted to make some extra money and have the time and energy. Again SO SO nearly signed up to esources!! What a scam!
I joined them on 20th April as a supplier. I paid the 100 pounds (!) with our company credit card. They said approval takes 5 working days, but for 10 days nothing happened, and application is still pending.
I had to contact our bank, disable our credit company, and reclaim the amount from Mastercard. Mastercard refund the amount for me.
They are sending a fake invoice with non existing vat number, here: VAT No: IT 0333 651 0924
If you check it via vies, it says fake number.
And the best part of story is that now they are threating me with our local police station, because they think we broke the contract in which is written that we are paying for reviewing our profile not for their services. LOL
So please avoid them like AIDS and CANCER!!!
Browsing esources, I noted one company promoted that I have previously looked Artsnow which specialises in personalised products dropshipped from a Hong Kong factory. None of their featured eBay traders are currently active, most stopped around 5 years ago. If this is typical of the quality of their information, need I say more
Esources.co.uk is a scam of the highest order. You only have to check their fake reviews to see that.
They keep taking money year after year. I cancelled the Paypal subscription and thought that was the end of it but I was charged again this year. My bank wont make a chargeback and told me the only way was to cancel my card so that they stop charging. All emails to esources have been ignored. Very annoyed.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me if there are any FREE wholesalers and dropship lists out there?
I looked at eSources.co.uk, and to be frank, the negative reviews about them out me off.
Please help

Your are right to be put off by esources, the comments on here alone, from their customers tells you everything you need to know.
Now, if you are looking for free wholesalers, and free dropshippers list, Please try the following forum, which gives a 100% free wholesale and dropship directory, and is used by thousands of people already.
Here is the link for the 100% FREE WHOLESALER AND DROPSHIPPER LIST:
http://www.dropshippingforum.co.uk
No charge, 100% free, and will offer everything you need.
Has anybody got a telephone number for esources.co.uk??
I want a refund and cannot get hold of them by email, they do not respond to anything.
Thanks.
To the poster above, you will never get a refund from esources. More chance of getting blood for a carrot.
Wave goodbye to your money, these crooks will have already spent it.
