Today I had a good laugh at this scamming site (discountkiss.com), selling photo equipment for next to nothing, stating that it is on clearance from Amazon. Check it out and laugh as well. Don't think about buying anything tough. The 2nd link shows how it works and how they limit your chances to get your money back.

I would not click that link. High probability you could pick up malware.

In fact, I'd suggest the OP remove that link lest some unsuspecting person click it. Seriously - it's probably a malware site and you can describe the issue without posting the link.

I second that. Clemente21 is a fool for posting it and I concur that the admin should kill this thread.

I checked the site and did not get any alarms of malware. Otherwise, I would not have posted it. Still, everyone can agree to respectfully disagree with anything being said on this site. If you Crazyjane second what Basil said, that’s perfectly fine.

What came next in your comment was a superfluous, unnecessary comment that made it personal. You don’t have the right to call me names just because in your naivete’ you disagreed with something I posted. I suggest you work on your level of urbanity before you post anything further. Other than that, I wish you well.

With respect, the fact it didn’t set off any alarms doesn’t mean there couldn’t be malware. Those guys are very clever and there is new malware hitting the net everyday.
