wtoec21....scammers???

cheeky_ash

Guys.

Can you help? I've been looking at buying a folding bike for a while now but they are usually quite expensive...so I decided to have a look around the web.

So I found this website recently wtoec21 and I see all manner of things going for cheap prices...but I'm very wary as it looks like an elaborate scam site from china...does anyone have experience with this site, or know if its a known scam site as I'm very tempted???

Many thanks.
Ash

The fact that their list of "payment options" shows Western Union, Moneygram and direct bank transfers should be cause for alarm. These methods are not reversible -- it's like giving cash to a stranger.

Their contact page shows they have a Hotmail email address! Very professional (not). And the address is 1091 Zhong Guan Cun Road, ChaoYang District, BeiJing. Maybe there are several companies operating out of those premises, but it seems like there may be scammers operating from the address:

I certainly wouldn't trust them with my money.
