Hey guys,

My wife runs an embroidery business and would like to purchase a new embroidery machine. We found this website: http://www.suadikamaulia-store.com/

The store is based in Indonesia and offers machines that are usually $15,000 + for under $2000. Everything seems legit on the site and I have received responses via e-mail.

I can't find anything in the most common scam sites about these guys. Before I fork up $2000, I want to make as sure as possible that this is legit...

http://www.suadikamaulia-store.com [ see http://who.is/whois/www.suadikamaulia-store.com ]

uses these servers ...

nsiix19.rumahweb.com 116.213.48.191
nsiix20.rumahweb.com 202.69.110.72

which are also used by scammers ...

http://www.malwareurl.com/ns_listing.php?ip=202.69.110.72

NB: that does not prove they are scammers, just that they share servers with multiple criminal websites.

It looks like their site has only been in existence for less than a year: no rating on WOT or McAfee ...

http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/suadikamaulia-store.com (no data)

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.suadikamaulia-store.com (no data)

IMO this looks Very very iffy.

PS
just had a look at the site, (via a proxy, just in case), they've spent nowt on graphic design :) ,

they include a link to "business-listings.com" which has a bad rep on WOT , see ...

The registration page on the site is not encrypted, yet asks for personal information. http://www.suadikamaulia-store.com/inde ... t/checkout
It is not a secure page. Secure pages have https rather than http. I'm not able to see the payment methods without going through registration and ordering - what are the options they list on their site? Is the payment page of their site encrypted/secure?

As Pa Mantis stated, the site was only registered in August of 2012, and only for one year. http://whois.domaintools.com/suadikamaulia-store.com

The name of the person who owns it does have a large internet presence, seemingly connected to this business.

I can not verify it either way with a cursory look. Hopefully one of our support team members has time for more research. Personally, I would be hesitant to input information on a website that is not secure.
Can you shed more light on the payment options?

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492
