I can't believe www.achinaseller.com and www.fastcardtech.com are scams !! They seem so legit... fastcardtech even says in their page that if you spread the word and post video reviews they even give you money ! I mean...what's wrong with these people??? Are they really willing to sell something or just create bad reputation to China ?? Maybe those sites are created by anti Chinese goverments just for the sake of give China a bad reputation... I don't know... oh well...

anyways...thanks a lot for your reply...and open my eyes !!

Because the owners of the websites registered them with a host in the United States. A website can be hosted anywhere. Also pleas read:

If the server is the United States does this mean that is managed from there ?

The location of an internet WEB SERVER has nothing whatsoever to do with the location/owner of a DOMAIN NAME or WEB SITE.

I am in the UK, and I have a DOMAIN NAME and WEB SITE that is hosted on an internet WEB SERVER in the USA.

It is very common for Chinese operated domain names and web sites to be hosted outside China.

What do you think of this response of Fastcardtech.com to a guy asking if he can with paypal:

Question: Paypal?
Answer "For avoid credit card fraud,we don't accept payments for product 300$ or more by Paypal or by credit cards. payments for product 300$ or more must be paid by bank transfer or Western Union MoneyGram.
For more information,please visit :
http://www.fastcardtech.com/article-9-Payment+Methods.html"

For avoid fraud isn't it the other way around ?
