this isn't a scam you fool, mostly counterfeit goods

Hi Rubylight, a lot of those sites can be dicey. I didn't find anything to suggest that place is defrauding people, but others here may know more.

@meloncoly, please don't call other members fools.

^^ Agreed. Its not a scam as we know it.

The danger is you may not get the goods you pay for, or you might get counterfeit stuff.

It's not something you can bait as they will just ignore your emails.

I saw something like this a little while back. My cousin's PC picked up a bit of malware - I think she replied to one of these emails, and the malware program sent out emails to all her contacts saying how she recommended this company.

Make sure your gf gets her AV upto date and scans her pc.

I don't think it's necessary to call someone a "fool" because they mistook spam for scam.

yeah sorry for the fool comment, there's quite a few of these chinese sites, they pump out loads of counterfeit goods, I know somebody who has ordered a fake gibson guitar from one (tradetang) with no problems, some sellers may be dishonest, but I think most have feedback like on ebay

Ruby.

^^^ kerist it's not a playground. I think it would also help if the OP didn't type in capital letters (shouting) and modified the language.

(I reckon extreme language is ok in sigs/from lads but unnecessary otherwise)

As an actual, certified “fool”, I take offense that someone is tossing that term around so lightly. Don't they realize how hard some of us have had to work to acquire that title?!
