Recently, I have been in touch with a supplier that seems to have some really cheap prices and I mean really cheap. My partner and I want to trust them but it seems to good to be true. After doing some investigation, I found a few links that discredited the company and had them veiw the links themselves (bad idea?), because as with everyone here I'm not looking to get scammed.

Long story short last night I emailed them (which they have been very good at returning them promptly) and this is there reply:

Hello,

Thanks for your reply, I will like to let you know that the scam report
information you read about our company is not true. it was a supplier from
china who want to spoil our company because we sell at very low price and
we have larger buyer.

PLease if you are ready to do business with kindly do without any doubting
mind and by the time we proceed on a succesfull business relationship
together then you will realise that our company is real.

But if, for you to be very sure about our company legitimacy then you can
pay for 1 unit iphones 8gb - $250+$30 shipping fee.

If you are ready let me know so that we can proceed.

Waiting to read from you soonest

Best Regards
John
Is it a bad idea to see if its legitimate on their offer, or not just waste my time? I know sometimes, you have the just have to take the gamble. What are your thoughts?

I wouldn't waste your time thats just stupidly cheap

They know they are losing you so they are trying to rope you in and get a few $ off you.

How did they want you to pay btw?

Don't waste your time looking for these products unless you are willing to spend double the price they are quoting.
