The web site lists a PO Box, and _supposedly_ sends some expensive equipment to you (Nikon D-90? Want to pay? Where is it shipped from - a PO BOX? Who brings it there? Where from? Is it new? is it waranteed? Is it gray market? ---> if this were legitimate business, you would have contact and legitimate street address... and a valid phone number; even internet businesses who do not want to give out phone numbers don't list them - how many do you know that boldly give you DISCONNECTED phone numbers???!!! ...or have a TRAIL of invalid, disconnected phone numbers!) LOOK AT CONGRUENCE - ok, so you are taken by "oh, gosh - but post office is valid address...", just as Massimo was taken by email "he claims it's not a scam... so I do not want to say this anymore..." Now - why is the phone number ON HIS SITE WHERE YOU AGREE TO TERMS a disconnected number??? Why is all the other contact information LEAD NOWHERE (domain registries); Why would a VENDOR give PayPal an invalid phone number? Think it might be a typo? A mistake? IN EVERY CASE? I don't buy it. This is a "smelly fish" - stay away from it! You want to believe, but there is NO BASIS FOR TRUSTING ANY OF THIS! This is very unusual, and that is even MORE reason to USE CAUTION! - Yarko > > On May 19, 3:30 am, Yarko Tymciurak <[email protected]> wrote: > > This is nonsense - > > > > None of the contact information or registry about the site or domains is > > true - all phone numbers, in registry and on the site itself are > > disconnected numbers; no name this is registered under is true; the site > > uses deceptive practices to lure users into registering to buy "bid > > permissions" - deceives by repeatedly flashing "only a few seconds left" > on > > countdown timers, which in reality are false - the bid ends sometime next > > month, the times reset repeatedly to something around 10 minutes.
