I Built a Free Red-Flag Checker for China Suppliers

Description and use

A free, browser‑based Red‑Flag Checker helps importers quickly spot fraud indicators with weighted scoring and deal‑breaker overrides, reducing deposit‑loss risk.

Problem

Importers often encounter suppliers who appear trustworthy but then demand personal bank accounts and 100% upfront payments, leading to deposit loss scams.

Outcome

The checker enabled importers to identify red flags quickly, reducing the risk of deposit loss scams and improving pre‑wire decision making.

Workflow

• 1. Open the checker at https://assassinationss.github.io/checker.html or embed the iframe on a website. 2. Answer the 12 supplier questions. 3. Review the live score and any deal‑breaker banner. 4. If score ≥80, proceed to request documents; if 50–79, use the failed items as a pre‑wire checklist; if <50, walk away. 5. Optionally use the Landed Cost Calculator to evaluate true per‑unit cost before listing.

Evidence

The pattern is so consistent it's boring. Which means it's checkable.
