Aliexpress is just a chinese version of eBay. You will find both legitimate sellers and scammers on these websites. The way you avoid being scammed is by using your brain before you purchase.
You first look for a seller who has sold many DMA cards or whatever item you wish to purchase. Take a look at this screenshot:
As you can see, you choose the listings that have many units sold. Avoid listings from random sellers with low or no units sold.
After that, you click on the listing and take a look at the reviews from other customers. If they look good, then you purchase.
Final thing to note, most newbies to Aliexpress are not aware that you can actually change the shipping service used for extra fee. Most Aliexpress sellers use the default Aliexpress standard shipping, but this can take 2-3 weeks to arrive. You can pay extra for shipping services like Fedex International Priority, which tends to arrive in 3-4 working days. If the seller doesn't have Fedex IP listed, then you can message them and they might be able to help you with this
Many DMA companies will claim to have private connects to chinese factories, but many of them are just buying from these listings on Aliexpress and dropshipping them to you for increased price
