Is this site legit?

I have had a look at this site, and the prices are amazing - almose (?) too good to be true. What do you think? Amazing prices for things like PC's, with 30 euro delivery from China to the UK which sounds almost unbeleivable.
Also, you can pretty much only pay by Western Union transfer (unless spending over 2000 Euros), which I hear is notorious when it comes to protecting consumers, eg if I sent the money but didn't get the goods.
Have any of you seen or heard anything about this site?
Thanks for any advice.

i can't see a link.
If something sounds too good to be true then it normally is. I'd be very wary, there is no consumer protection on western union. Once they have your money there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. If the prices are stupidly cheap then they are either trying to get you to buy and won't send you the goods are the goods will be very poor quality.0 -
I Whould not Shop or send money with Westernunion even being only 12 (And hopeing i still was 11)
I've seen and heard tons of Mates moms and dads being scammed since wanting so much for so little0 -

The electronics are on the very cheap side but not unbelievably so (we buy some electronic bits from china and they are 30-40% of uk prices). But, the motorbike prices are nonsensically cheap (10% or less of uk) so on that basis I’m sure it’s a scam0 -
ach, if only it was legit! oh well! thanks for the advice everyone!0

I decided to email the guy under a false email address, pretending to be an existing customer whose order hadn't arrived. he then pretended he knew about my order and said it was held up by customs and that i needed to pay a further 150 euros custom tax (plus ten euros for every further day), and i should transfer this to his account to pay on my behalf!!!! is there any authorities i can report this scum to?
Dear friend
A bad news, your item have been detained by costom,they said you should pay custom tax. The total you should pay is 150 euros.You know our profite is very low,if you want us to pay the custom tax ,we will lose money for this business,hope you can undersant it.I'm very sorry for this unhappy thing.Hope you can pay it as soon as possible,because the custom have valid time for preservation it(afer 48 hours one day 10euro).
you can send the money to our bank and we will pay it for you to saving your money .
thanks
