Hi guys,
If you have been chasing after a DTG printer and a Roland printer/cutter, do not waste your time with offers that seems too good to be true from Indonesia.
I was eager to purchase a DTG Viper and Roland SP540 and saw them advertise on a trade website. After enquiries they [multi sellers] all requested that i deposited minimum 25% [US$3000-$5000] to hold unit for me.
I normally have trust in people but things don't seems to add up. I was willing to travel to Indonesia so i asked a few if I can meet them and pay for my machine and take it with me - 4 didn't reply back, 2 still insisted that i put down a deposit and can pick it up then. I thought better and flew to Indonesia and checked out 17 sellers- none existed at the business address including one that advertised in a European business directory.
I managed to get a few good presents to brine home so the trip wasn't a lost.
Hoped this helped anyone !!

You seriously didn't think the Indonesian suppliers were legit did you? It's the biggest source of scam artist on the internet and they prowl the trade websites for gullible victims.

If you want a Viper then you purchase it from DTG's distributor Impression Technology. They developed and built the first models here in Australia so it doesn't make sense for them to sell it from Indonesia!

Any its good to know you didn't put a deposit down. But bit of Googling and research beforehand could have saved you a ticket to Indonesia!

Hi zhenjie
I'd pretty much knew it was a scam but thought what if one of them was genuine, it would only cost me AUS$700 to find out. I was also there to source clothes supplier [didn't save anymore money than from where i'm getting at the momment-just more head aches with customs].

I did buy a DTG Viper from Impression Technology and will be getting it next week. I have been researching a few months on DTG products and hear good things about the Viper. It's also great to know they are an Australian company and they were made in Australia but now in Singapore.

I didn't loose any money but did learn a lesson. If its too good to be true then it is most likely a scam and don't even bother wasting time on it !!
