Actual Registered Address SiteFinal Verdict
Confirmed as a classic Paper Company. With no proprietary factory, production equipment, or QC system, a Grade F (Failed) rating was assigned. We strongly recommend discontinuing any transactions with this entity.
Key Lessons
The 1688 'certification' badge, global HQ images, and competitive pricing are classic Paper Company bait. Cross-checking the business license address with satellite imagery alone can filter out most ghost companies.
