Not sure, not a bad looking site. However, they don't mention payment terms and the pricing is a bit vague. Also, can't see any other contact information other than the oline contact form. Have you sent them an enquiry?

Sites a standard HTML one dropped into a flash template, a pretty good approach to the sector they are aiming for. Agree that the information that it provides is very vague, it also seems to contradict itself.....shipping charges vs free shipping etc.
This could be down to a language issue or a translator problem as they are Indonesian, I am sure we have seen the images of the building on another site mentioned on here but I may be wrong. Personally wouldn't touch them.

Agree, probably scammers indeed. Prices look too cheap for starters and they are a bit all over the shop.
Personally i have set myself some very basic criteria before even contacting potential suppliers;
1/ If prices look too good to be true = scammer
2/ If website does not provide phone numbers and address = scammer
3/ If information on website contradicts itself = scammer
4/ If english language poor or very vague = scammer
5/ If website has many graphics and referrals to other sign-up sites = scammer
6/ If website does not accept wire transfer or credit cards = scammer
7/ If website says does not use escrow due to being scammed = scammer
The last one i checked out was a US site and when looking up their address on whitepages.com the address was a car wash ! Go figure.
Cheers from down under,
Matt

Just to be clear, are you saying that you think this site is run by scammers?
