PIN SHEN HEALTH INC.Selling fake high-end Asian food—Fake bird’s nest The details are as follows:
1. Bird’s nest is the swiftlet’s nest, which is expensive and one of the Chinese’s favorite high-end foods. The origin is Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, and there is no production in China. Retail price in the US is $1,000 to $2,000/lb.
Fake bird’s nest is made with seaweed, tremella, tapioca flour and costs $10 to 20/lb. The origin is mainly China. The wholesale price of fake bird’s nest in the United States is $600 to $800 per pound, which is a huge profit business. The degree of profiteering is higher than that of drugs or counterfeit luxury goods.
2. There are two channels for PIN SHEN HEALTH INC. to sell fake bird’s nest. The first channel is from a person named Sean from Qun Sheng Shipping and Trading Corp. in New York. Sean drives (a dark gray Toyota minivan) from New York directly to Emma’s house for each purchase. The second channel, Emma, said that the goods are purchased directly from China, but the details are not clear.
Sean is the largest wholesaler of fake bird’s nests in the United States.

3. The packaging that PIN SHEN HEALTH INC. sells fake bird’s nest is usually affixed with a fake FDA certification (and USDA certification). Because the Chinese trust the FDA, the Chinese believe that the FDA logo is the real thing.
4. 95% of PIN SHEN HEALTH INC.’s channels for selling fake bird’s nest are through WeChat groups. There are very few bird’s nests (both real and fake) sold in the store. There are very few customers in the store every day to buy goods, and often there is not a single customer for a day. The bird’s nest samples displayed in the store are real bird’s nests. When customers see the goods, they usually give real bird’s nest, and when they actually deliver the goods, they use the fake bird’s nest as an excuse for fresh bird’s nest. The fake bird’s nest is usually kept in Emma’s home and car, which is parked in front of the store. Take it to the store when you need to ship it. The bird’s nest being packaged must be fake bird’s nest. Because except for the sample bird’s nest placed, the rest are fake bird’s nest. Fake bird’s nests are packed basically every day.
5. Many WeChat sellers buy from PIN SHEN HEALTH INC. at low prices and then sell them. These sellers all believe that the bird’s nest they buy is real bird’s nest. When they are sold again, they say that they have the FDA logo and are 100% real bird’s nest. In fact, they were also deceived.
Emma is cautious when selling fake bird’s nests on WeChat. When adding WeChat, you need to scan the QR code of the business card, and you need to check the circle of friends. If it doesn’t feel right, block it right away. Fake bird’s nests are delivered to the door, and basically no one picks up the goods in the store. Emma and WENQIANG PEI do the delivery or parcel delivery by themselves, worrying about letting others know. They often send fake bird’s nest packages to other states

6. The payment for goods is usually cash and WeChat. I often receive tens of thousands of dollars in cash and go back to the store to count the money happily. Payments to Sean are mostly cash. I guess it’s to reduce tax returns.
