aliexpress business plan:
1) come up with a random name with lots of numbers
2) copy images of other merchants storefront to create your imaginary storefront
3) when orders come in, send fake tracking information
4) operate under the impression that the buyer will not:
a) notice the tracking information is fake
b) file a dispute within the "protection period"
c) create a paper trail of screen shots showing evidence of
fraud
d) receive a full or partial refund if disputed
5) if the buyer does file a dispute, string them along by increasing the protection period indefinitely, send them more fake tracking information, reply with "copy pasta" responses, or simply don't reply at all
6) 100% profit as there is no need to have inventory, customer service, & or a physical location
7) business(scam) can be run from anywhere, with a time investment of only a couple hours a week, rinse & repeat the aforementioned, until aliexpress reputation is irreparably damaged, & folds under consumer pressure
