Fake McAfee and VeriSign seals right on the front page.

Payment only with WU, MG and bank transfer, most likely to a personal rather than corporate account.

Same company description is used by dozens of other sites:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22cl...nufacturers%22

Obviously any brand items will be counterfeit. Whether they will deliver or not, with fake sellers it's pretty tricky to tell as their sites look equally shady. I would guess not in this case. Either way, such items can always get stuck in customs and cause legal problems for the importer.

Hmm wait, they even claim to sell IPads, for $200... that makes it 100% fraud.

I can personally say that this website is not a fraud. My friends and I order thing from this website all the time. It may take a while for it to come to you (beings how it's coming from across the other side of the world!!), but it is 100% not a fraud!!!

Unregistered, we are extremely short on patience with shill posters such as you. In case you didn't know, advertizing brand names and ripping off people buying fakes instead of real stuff is a SCAM. Not only is it a scam, it is also illegal in most countries of the world.

One of your buddies from a related site even spammed us with the typical scam right here;

And we gave you due publicity for it too, free of charge. Now bugger off!

I ordered 6 pairs of Jordan shoes from this company and all except one came poor quality. The base of each shoe was painted. It seems like they were defective shoes and they tried to resell them by painting. These were not touch ups either but full base of shoe painted to like like the picture shown. I emailed them and I explained everything in detail 3 times but they have not helped me by an exchange or refund. And the one shoe that looked good had a lump in the heel so they are not wearable. My advice is stay away from this company. You are getting painted shoes or defective shoes. date ordered third week of March 2011.

It's not a scam. The products sold on the site are replicas, but if you prefer a decent product for under half the price of the authentic, these chinese replica sites are the way to go.

I get your point and agree partly. Before I pay $200 for a pair of UGGs I rather go for some similar looking but unbranded boots from Wal-Mart.

However, with buying online you never know what you get. Counterfeiting is even illegal in China and the brand owners pursuit those activities too. Hence, the job will be done in small factories, or in home factories. I read an article a while ago were a whole village was involved in faking Louboutin shoes. All small home factories. One doing just heels, one just straps etc. It is quite obvious that quality is not first priority for them.

Target is not to have a satisfied customer, target is to get his money. So even if the quality is bad, or size or color are wrong - there is no way you get your money back. Quality is another issue when there is no reputation to loose.

Since it is illegal and they are aware of the criminal nature, there are also plenty of Chinese 'suppliers' that don't bother to send out goods at all and just pocket your money. Complainboards are full of such stories. By the nature of the business, it's impossible to have a 'reliable supplier'.

There is no such thing as a 'replica' when it misrepresents itself with a registered brand name. It is counterfeit and therefore is a SCAM, as even if you get your goods they are scamming the rightful owner of the trademark.

Counterfeit goods are subject to customs seizure.

Promoting counterfeit goods is not permitted on this site, but I have left your post in part to illustrate a common misconception.
