0utLAW Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Does this seem too good to be true? http://toolscameras.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=402 I know it says that they sell to wholesaler but I am about to place an order for 1 and it looks like it will go through. The catch- I noticed a couple of weird things; 1. The main page says Electronics as the name of the site but the url states toolscameras.com 2. Being a 1st time shopper they want me to pay via Wire transfer; Wire Transfer Payment Make Payable To: Account Name:GUILAN LAI Account Number:6210983940002323589 Bank Name:POSTAL SAVING BANK OF CHINA Bank Address:BUILDING A NO.3 FINANCIAL STREET Swift Code:PSBCCNBJ After the payment, plese tell us your name, amount, currency and country. Your order will not be shipped until we receive the payment. Our contact Tel:(716) 222-0385 3. If the wire transfer goes to China then why am I calling a New York area code? I have not given them any credit info or money related info. And I called and left a message at the number listed above to get some more information before purchasing. If it turns out that they need a certain number of units sold, maybe we can get some people here to go in and get this stick at this absurdly low price.

sobek Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Looks pretty fishy. I'm pretty sure that that is a scam. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
hassata Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 If it seems to good to be true, it usually is. I'd stay away. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

0utLAW Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 Would anyone consider getting a pool together to get some discount on a bulk order of these sticks? Not from this place obviously. i7-8700k 3.70mhz|64GB DDR4 G.SKILL Ripjaw V 3200|ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 8G GDDR6|AsRockZ390 Extreme4|2 Samsung 870QVO 1TB, 1 Samsung 860 QVO 1TB, 1 Samsung 860EVO 500GB|Corsair 750D|Corsair H-100i|Corsair AX750|LG 34GN850-B|Acer UT241Y|TM Cougar MFDs| Buddyfox UFC|TM Warthog HOTAS(Modified Spring/Slew Control Stick, Upgraded PCB, Stick Extension)|Saitek Combat Pedals|Corsair Nightsword|Corsair K70|TrackIR5|Custom A-10C Panels|
