Just provide a fake number.

 

They only accept Bank Transfer or Western Union....I think I'll pass

After the extra charges they add I can order the same thing on eBay for about the same price

 

Yep...big red flag on a scam. No way to recover your money.

 

The reply I got

 

Could be worthy of a $20 experiment.

 

That is the email I received also. I have a friend that tried to buy something from a company that did the Western Union thing and he never saw his money or the product. That was a BIG red flag when I got that email. $225 for a $450 coat sounds awesome though. I'm going to pass and save up my money and buy local. That $225 included the shipping too. I wish I had a little more faith/trust.

 

Both of those payment methods leave you no way to recover your money or any recourse. I don't care how good the deal is.

If a merchant does not accept CC's or PayPal, I would not use them. Period.

 

Fill you boots and report back

 

This thread is hilarious! Some are smart enough to know a scam when they see one. Others being told that it smells like a scam are talking themselves into it being a legit deal. Cheap bastards; my father always told me you get what you pay for, and buying from these China-men you'll get a soreness in the rear...

Have fun dealing with "Xun"......and him/her draining your bank account...I ordered a Lil Joes Jacket. Spoke to Mike, great guy, spoke english, had a great sense of costumer service, told me the jacket would arrive the following week. Go figure, it arrived the following week. Wouldn't you know the product was as stated and a quality piece of merchendise to boot. huh....Americans...who would've thought they could make a superior product.

 

I get this email every now and again. Except he is asking me to help him with obtaining his frozen monataries in some bank in a third world country and with my help providing my bank account; he will reward me handsomely for my troubles.
