Flipsky – BLDC motors

SCAMMERS

We have uncovered evidences of a large Flipsky scam network, involving fraud with BLDC motors as well as systematic fraud with many other types of products. Below is only a brief summary. The owners and management of Flipsky are degenerate fraudsters!

We ourselves are not a competitor to Flipsky, therefore we recommend choosing honest BLDC motor manufacturers such as Tmotor, Ligpower, Furiousmotor, Uniqualis, Maytech...

For years, Flipsky reviews have included reports from customers saying that time and again some of them have ended up losing both their money and the products they ordered. Such a review pattern is quite typical of so‑called ‘selective scam’ companies. By deceiving only some customers rather than all, these businesses manage to stay afloat, and the profit gained through dishonest practices often exceeds what they earn legitimately.Flipsky is also involved in a larger ‘scam network’, where a wide range of products are ‘sold’ through a system of fraudulent online stores (for which evidence is provided below).

How Flipsky’s business customers are left without LARGE amounts of money, step 1‑2‑3

1. By visiting Flipsky’s official website and writing to the ‘Business relatives’ or ‘ODM/OEM cooperation contact’ email address. You can also write through the web form — inquiries sent there receive replies from the same email.

2. As the email conversation continues and orders of BLDC motors are placed, Flipsky proceeds as follows:
- To build trust, they ship out one batch (and sometimes several smaller orders beforehand, which are fulfilled to create credibility)
- They then hand the conversation over to another employee, who continues communicating with the customer and also provides a valid tracking number, to avoid giving any reason to doubt the representative’s legitimacy.

Has the customer received the batch and is satisfied? Then the customer is fully prepared for the big scam!3. Defrauding the (warmed‑up) customer of LARGE sums of money
Sending the next order (by simply pressing reply) to [email protected] leads to receiving fake invoices and being offered supposedly ‘special deals’ due to ‘overproduction’. The warmed‑up customer then accepts these additional orders.

SCHEME FINALE: Flipsky responds with lies and mockery — no BLDC motors and no money ($8,708)

1. It is impossible that we were “informed” both by email and WhatsApp, and that in both channels an unusual coincidence occurred where the message supposedly failed to arrive. This kind of excuse alone already shows that they are an unreliable business partner.2. They talk about using an “official email”, yet in the same message they add another new participant in CC — this time not [email protected] but [email protected].
It is clearly an act of mocking the customer and showing disrespect — behaviour typical of individuals who take pride in their deceptive actions.3. They also ridicule the customer with the only “solution” they offer: suggesting that the defrauded customer should contact their bank to request a refund. They know perfectly well that no bank has the legal basis or authority to retrieve funds unless the recipient agrees to return them.
It is absurd for Flipsky to direct a fraud victim to ask the money back from the very intermediary used to carry out the deception. This is done solely to divert attention from their strategy and to mislead the victim.
We still asked our bank to attempt a recall — the Chinese bank refused to return the funds.4. They do not allow any communication with management or the owners, and instead respond with evasiveness and ignore our direct requests, clearly trying to avoid any direct contact with the leadership.

Part of the scheme: shifting identity

1. The official website clearly states that the company is HONGKONG WANPENG TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED
https://flipsky.net/pages/about-us
(Later we also checked the address listed on the website — it turned out to be a virtual office.)2. However, the first invoice listed the company as Guangdong Flipsky Technology Company Limited.3. The following invoices then came from SHANDONG ARK INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO., LTD.A similar rotation happens with the email addresses used to reply:
[email protected] → [email protected] → [email protected]
Using Outlook.com addresses is not accidental — it is clear that this strategy allows them to “drop off” easily and avoid responsibility, something that would be far more difficult with @flipsky.net emails.The identity also shifts deceptively on the flipsky.net website:Although the current legal identity (as of 2025) is HONGKONG WANPENG TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED, until recently the following entities were shown:— Nimo Harmony Sarl (France)
Nimo Harmony Sarl was a small French distance‑selling company that was officially dissolved on 17 March 2025. The company had 0 employees.
https://web.archive.org/web/20250124223712/https://flipsky.net/pages/about-us— Siki Eagle Sarl (France)
The company name and address appeared on the Flipsky website as an image, deliberately unclear to not be indexed by Google.

Flipsky’s shady French companies

Flipsky used shady French companies at least twice to create the illusion that it was a European business.
An analysis of these front companies showed Flipsky’s involvement in a broader scam network, where not only BLDC motors but a wide range of products are used to mislead customers, supported by an interconnected system of scam‑shops.Siki Eagle SarlScam Warnings & Fraud Indicators
— Multiple scam‑tracking sites explicitly label Siki Eagle SARL as a scam, citing extremely low trust scores and its use as a “parent company” for fraudulent online shops, often advertising unrealistic discounts.
https://de-reviews.com/siki-eagle-sarl/
https://newsonlineincome.com/siki-eagle-sarl/
— „Order from this company 2 weeks ago. Never got a tracking number. You never said your order has been placed. Just took my money email them numerous of times. No response”
https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker/lookupscam/926657Lawsuits
— 4. U.S. Federal Court Case – Dawood v. Siki Eagle SARL. This legal case was filed in the U.S. District Court (California) alleging personal property fraud. Case status: Pending
Defendant (Siki Eagle SARL) did not appear, leading to default proceedings
— A U.S. law firm (Milberg) filed a class‑action lawsuit against Siki Eagle SARL (also operating as “Colzer”) for allegedly misleading consumers about the performance of an air purifier.Nimo Harmony SARLAppears as the “company name” behind many unrelated and questionable e‑commerce websites (lighting, wallets, camera accessories, craft supplies, etc.).Examples:
— Dandelion Lighting
— Tuopuke
— Scabine
— IDS Initial Design Studio
— GloblelandNimo Harmony SARL was dissolved in 2025, which can indicate regulatory pressure or abandonment of a business structure. As Zhang Kelan is found to be behind both French companies, dissolving a company is very likely his new strategy. Many shops actually still state that their company is Nimo Harmony SARL despite being dissolved. Illegality of operating as a dissolved company doesn't stop the scammers.The company addresses appear different at first glance, but both locations offer low‑cost virtual offices through the service provider Regus:
— 1 Esplanade Miriam Makeba, 69100 Villeurbanne
— 20-22 rue Marius Aufan LevalIois-Perret 923000 LevalIois-Perret France

Part of the scheme: many companies

During additional research we identified that the number of companies is even larger, and only a few of them show any employee count at all:— HONGKONG WANPENG TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED
— Guangdong FlipSky Technology Co., Ltd. (广东弗利普斯凯科技有限公司); Employees: 4
— SHANDONG ARK INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO.,LTD
— Guangdong Skylar Investment Co., Ltd. (广东斯凯尔投资有限公司)
— Guangdong Siqian Technology Co., Ltd. (广东思千科技有限公司); Employees: 17
— Dongguan Fantian Industry Investment Co., Ltd. (东莞翻天产业投资有限公司); Employees: 9
— Guangdong Fantian Technology Co., Ltd. (广东翻天科技有限公司); Employees: 35
— Guangdong Wanbaopeng Technology Co., Ltd. (广东万宝鹏科技有限公司)
— Guangdong Daqianjin Technology Co., Ltd. (广东大千金科技有限公司)
— CZhanjiang Chuangtian Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (湛江创天电子科技有限公司)
— Nimo Harmony Sarl, France
— Siki Eagle Sarl, FranceIt is evident that the entire structure is built to avoid responsibility:
1. At the bottom of the pyramid are one‑off companies such as SHANDONG ARK INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO., LTD, used to scam with "selling" BLDC motors and other products. There are likely many of these, and they are registered under the names of unrelated individuals.
2. On the next level are micro‑companies such as Guangdong FlipSky Technology Co., Ltd. — even if one were to take them to court, they simply have no money or assets.
3. The companies that actually hold money or assets are, from a legal standpoint, several steps removed from the customer.

The impropriety indicates malicious intent

Flipsky’s behaviour does not resemble that of an honest company which, upon discovering a security issue on its own side, would act properly:1. It would immediately inform all affected parties — which is also a legal requirement — to prevent further damage.2. If damage had already occurred, it would take responsibility (inlcuding financial responsibility), since the security issue originated on its side.3. It would contact the police.Flipsky did none of this, which is yet another indication that Flipsky is not a victim but an active participant in the scheme. Posting a ‘warning’ on social media months later appears more like a strategy of ‘steal enough first, then create the illusion of innocence’.

Another Flipsky scheme

Flipsky has for years used a ‘selective scam courier’ scheme to deprive customers of both their money and their orders (BLDC motors or other products). The shipment is sent to an incorrect address, or the courier makes no delivery attempts, and Flipsky then receives the package back. In some cases this may be entirely staged — the shipment may never be sent at all, or parcels may contain arbitrary items merely to generate tracking numbers and create the appearance of legitimacy.The reviews below clearly show a pattern and a systematic approach rather than random mistakes:— Parcel lost with courier // 2025
Will not issue refund !
Stay well clear!
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/flipsky.net— Failed to delivery item and refused refund // 2023
Previously had good experiences, but their Courier (Evri) failed to deliver an ESC 4 months ago and they have refused to reimburse me despite clear evidence that Evri failed to deliver (they sent a photo of an ASOS package outside someone elses house). They are now ignoring my emails. I am upset as i would like to continue buying from them but I cannot trust them and will have to accept that they will not return my £130. Sadly I have to advise to avoid this company.
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/flipsky.net— terrible // 2019
I bought a dual vesc from them. I have had a terrible experience. It failed the first day. I did many videos and photos of the product yet their engineers couldn't see the failure. Any 4 years old kid could tell the product was faulty but not an engineer... They ended up offering a replacement after a long long time...and guess what: They shipped to another guy in another country or they shipped nothing and just lied to me. Even if that was their fault again they refused to send me another vesc. Their customer service is the worst between the worst and their products are very low quality.
The only thing they care about is a paypal claim so do not use credit card at their site, i warn you.
I swear i will never ever buy a single bolt from them.
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/flipsky.net— 2025
Never had a issue with them until now. Bought some BMS for VESC tracking says being returned to the sender without a delivery attempt this was months ago they avoided my emails for a replacement or refund so I opened a bank dispute they soon responded and said if I cancel the dispute they will refund me which was a lie it's been days since the dispute was cancelled and they keep insisting they cannot refund me because my bank is blocking the refund it's the same story over and over again. So my advice is stay well clear of them shit products and shit customer service
