I do some ebay furniture selling online and so when I got this e-mail I was half-interested. However it sounded way too good to be true. So I went to the website and saw a picture of their warehouse Text and decided to google warehouse images and wow both images are from the 2nd page Text. I'm pretty positive none of the Anandtech crowd would fall for something like this but just a general PSA. Anyway to report something like this?

Have any proof those images are not theirs?... :p

And the fact that it's overseas is another thing to watch out for.

Harder to go to the store and start shooting when they take your money :D

look at the pic.. you got american cars there that wont sell in europe.. he says he is from spain, last i checked that was a MACK truck.

more so, he has a 210 area code, which is texas..

I like when you read the testimonials and they screwed up and didn't change one url mentioned. It takes you here which has exactly the same testimonial but with a different name. Hmmm. ;)
