There are several similar scams out there with high-end products sold as super low prices. It's a scam. I read recently that even the Nigerian prince scam is still pretty lucrative.

I too was taken aback. Further investigation revealed shipment from the Ukraine or Czech Republic and no tracking number provided. Cannot guarantee when USA shipments would arrive

How about never! What is the possibility of ever obtaining a refund, and how?

Most ads on Facebook are bogus. (They must have little or do vetting.) There is a series that sells anything from Polo to Cross pens, usually at 95% off and free shipping if you buy $70 worth of stuff you'll never get.

Don't do it, about 50% of Facebook ads are scams!

If you have $99.99 to throw away, set it up in PayPal and order it. Keep us posted when you get it. Keep a sharp eye out on all your bank accounts and personal info. There might be a YOU in a foreign country.

Is anyone familiar with this? The details of the sale allow returns, etc. PayPal is accepted.
Is this a too good to be true ad?


Mate you have to be kidding that you don’t know this is a scam advert. Your profile says you are interested in rocketry, well believe me this is not rocket science, it is a scam. It also says you have a PhD and are involved in development of science tests so please use your big brain and think about it.

I love how everything on the only page that has items for sale is $99.00!
I wouldn't touch this site with a 100 ft. pole!
It doesn't take a whole lot of money to open a site like this. Once they have made enough money from unknowing suckers and never shipping anything, the site will be closed and the perpetrators will never be found.

Any shade trees on your lot? Mine has an oak forest, comes with a boat, if anyone is interested.
