I set up a gmail account and went through the steps to buy a couple standards. The site seems to have a functioning shopping cart software and the privacy report says they are using https://payment_fashionpay_com/sslpayment as their shopping cart software.
A quick InterNIC check of fashionpay.com shows the site was created on May 8 of 2010 Domain Name: FASHIONPAY.COM Registrar: XIN NET TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Whois Server: whois.paycenter.com.cn Referral URL: http://www.xinnet.com Name Server: F1G1NS1.DNSPOD.NET Name Server: F1G1NS2.DNSPOD.NET Status: ok Updated Date: 02-may-2012 Creation Date: 08-may-2010 Expiration Date: 08-may-2013 The Verisign and the Trustwave validation indicates “identify is verified” and this payment site is: SHENZHEN SUHUITONG NETWORK TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD; Shenzhen, Guangdong, CN My Privacy Policy software cannot identify this site and at the point of submitting a VISA number, there is no padlock on the status bar even though this is an https site. The InterNIC report for e-standard.org points to New York with registrant, admin and tech contact all the same and they used Godaddy. ID:CR95380743 Name:e-standard support Street1:25 W 43rd Street, 6th Floor Street2:cheapest industry standards and codes Street3: City:New York State/Province:New York Postal Code:10036 Country:US Phone:+1.2126424979 Phone Ext.: FAX: FAX Ext.: Email:[email protected] At this street address are the ANSI people. Their address is: Street1: 25 West 43rd Street, 4th floor Street2: New York, NY 10036 Tel: 1.212.642.4900 Fax: 1.212.398.0023 ANSI’s legitimate store is at http://webstore.ansi.org/ and it is called eStandards Store. It appears to use it's own shopping cart, installed on their own servers. I suggest this is either a software development group within ANSI has a web address to their development sandbox which somehow got released – OR – someone is attempting to duplicate ANSI and is not creative enough to come up with a unique street address that looks legitimate. One more point, the InterNIC listed phone number of e-standards appears to be an internal number under the main ANSI number; 212-642-4979 vs. 212-642-4900. Maybe someone at ANSI.ORG can weigh in on this discussion. My advice: *Approach with caution* Anyone care to call these phone numbers and see what happens?? -Doug Douglas E Powell http://www.linkedin.com/in/dougp01 On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 5:16 PM, Ron Pickard <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Lauren,**** > > I have no experience with that site.**** > > ** ** > > Exceptionally good buys there to be sure, but I would also the legality > of it.
