Go to the "Order" page.

Webpage is hosted by a free hosting company, seller uses a yahoo email address, and PayPal only. If you're still willing to risk it, and have a good credit card company (DON'T use your PayPal balance or checking account!), give it a look.

While the price is nice, all the facts you have mentioned about this possibly being a scam, drop this deal down to luke warm at best

This "company" takes payment through Yahoo-Direct. Here is what Yahoo says on their website:

Can I dispute or charge back a transaction if I am not satisfied with a purchase paid with Yahoo! PayDirect?

Yahoo! and the bank cannot help you resolve disputes with persons you send money to through Yahoo! PayDirect. Please contact the recipient directly or use other legal remedies against the recipient that may be available to you, if you cannot resolve your dispute informally. In case of suspected fraud, you should contact appropriate law enforcement authorities.
Please also remember that transactions used to fund your Yahoo! PayDirect account are separate from any payment you make with PayDirect. You may not dispute or charge back a transaction used to fund your Yahoo! PayDirect account on the basis of any dispute with a recipient over the amount owed; the quantity, quality, or safety of goods or services purchased; whether or not goods or services have been shipped, received, or performed; or any other aspect of your relationship with a recipient. This is true even if you used your credit card to fund your account.

Nuff said!!

I wouldn't buy from a site if I even thought it was shady, and this looks like a good candidate.

I don't exactly see a phone number there to call. There is a yahoo.com email, and everyone knows that you have to pay for a yahoo account, so this has to be legit!

Stupid?
You just suggested PM'ing to a friggin website that sells pirated software and music.
Why would ANYONE want to attempt to PM a website that isn't legit?
Please explain to me where you get your logic from, trying to PM a SCAM is STUPID.

First of all, this is fraud.
Second of all, that would be fraud on your part.

No ethics, eh? :disgust:

Had you ordered from them before? No? Then how are you so sure it's not legit? I will not touch it with a 10 foot pole, but why not try your luck with a PM?
Ethics? How about ordering items when you know there's a pricing error? Or grabbing coupons from other websites while you know you are not supposed to be the recipient? eh?:disgust:

You just know some idiot will try ripping off AMEX using BVG too. And then those same idiots will whine when BVG is discontinued. :|
