I recently found out how cutthroat the dropshipping business can get. I was stupid and fell for an ad for Bleame, a viral "hair eraser" product and got injured using it. I ended up doing a lot of digging on the company, and they were pulling in MILLIONS each year selling a product that caused injuries (in addition to their numerous other dropship ventures). A product that was probably $1-2 and they were selling for about $30-60. They were playing dirty by scamming customers, breaking a bunch of consumer protection laws, fabricating employees, filing fake copyright and patent claims against hundreds of competitors, threatening their ex-employees who spoke out. When we created a Facebook group to support other people who had been scammed and injured, they sent their employees to report our group on a daily basis, and even got their employees into our group to report on our conversations. Just a few of the things some of these greedy types will stoop to. I dug up so much dirt on these people but got nowhere trying to report to the consumer protection agencies about the injuries their product caused.
Of course, not all dropshippers are like this, it can be a legitimate business for a lot of people. I've considered doing it myself to supplement my blogging business (I'm doing print-on-demand instead). But the ones who are only interested in fast cash and luxury living at any expense couldn't care less what laws they break and who gets hurt as long as they make money. A perfect fit for Andrew Tate.
