As Helen already said, it is a scam! On the fake website are their contact email addresses, which are all free webmail addresses. The reason for this is that these scammers know that their fake websites will be reported and taken down, and they would also then loose their email address with the domain name. Do not buy anything from this website!

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.

Could you post emails, with complete headers, either from the domain (with your previous email to the domain) or mentioning the website? We'll need those to kill the domain.

It's pointless killing the domain now. Wait five days and see if the owners renew it; then try to shoot it down. If it gets put into Client Hold, that'll keep everyone from using the domain for another year.

Well done there Oktam for publishing the header. As the others have indicated it is a scam. Not sure where said company claims to be in china but any online store from the fujian area I would be most wary of. By publishing the details, you've saved someone in future.
#92057 by vonpaso xlura Sat Mar 24, 2012 10:04 pm
The IP address the mail came from is a China Telecom address in Anhui, whereas the domain is registered by someone in Fujian. Fujian is on the coast near Taiwan; Anhui is north of Fujian and does not share a border with it. Is this enough to prove to the registrar and hoster that it's a fraud?

The IP address of the website is 173.213.90.97, which is in Serverhub Cloud, Arizona.
