Title: What’s your opinion….scam or not?
Post by: Bill B on July 27, 2021, 06:44:11 PM
Found this ad on a local digital classified for an online seller.  The address does not exist in Las Vegas, can't find their corporate HQ in China, and the telephone area code checks out in Alabama....but hey the offer free shipping for orders over $50.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. If I was a gambling man, I would roll those dice, and probably get snake eyes 😆. Bill


Or you could buy these Avets and double your trouble.....

I use whois.com to check their origin /Date  then go to
https://www.islegitsite.com/check/recgia.com/
to find more info .

This site is only 10 months old so is suspect to me right there.
There are numerous SCAMMERS that go to a HELL of a lot of trouble to decieve and it REELY gets bad around Thanksgiving and Christmas Time.

The other tipoff being not just "too good" pricing, but really "odd" pricing.  Possibly generated by a Bot but what human is going to throw on a price that that is not ".99" or something semi "even". - john

Prolly skipped town. A scam tactic. They may show-up somewhere else with different contact info.

I checked the owners of the site.  They are legitimate but had to move to Nigeria.  Wait until they settle down in Nigeria.  In the mean time send your money to me.  Make the check out to the Dominick Hawaii Condo Fund.  It is tax deductible also.   ;D  Dominick
