Doug_Masters Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 I looked at that last week as well. The website is not blackballed by anyone yet but the domain name is less than 3 months old. Stay Away.
Pilotasso Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Scams are on high gear since the cough cough began. Stay away from risky business. .
Mars Exulte Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 If you have to ask, it's a scam. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2

Lange_666 Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 For the rest they sell "Earrings, Necklaces, Bracelets & Rings". And the Warthog stick and throttle combo...

Devil_Lettuce Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 likely a scam. The good thing is they use PayPal for checkout so one could risk it, and try for a reversal once your scammed, or you get a stupid deal on a Warthog.
Matchstick Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Probably a reseller that claims to get products at wholesale price, and sells it at huge discounted price. From the looks of it, there many online stores that are similar to it. If you do a whois search on the domain name, you will find the provided registrar's information, and can do some research on it. You will eventually find out if the company is phony or not. :detective: Sadly as is normal in cases like this the DNS details are cloaked by Domains By Proxy and the IP details are the generic Cloundfare ones.
Beirut Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Maybe it's an add from 1992 that just stayed up. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
