Can THIS be REAL!?

[Ivanzypher]

I just got an Ad on Facebook and I am 99.9% sure it's a scam and am not interested since I have my own setup, but a friend of mine says if this is real, then he's totally getting in to simracing
What do You guys think? Is this a fake or is this just Crazy Larry's Sim Racing Equipment Emporium?

At those prices it's most likley a rip off.

Of course, but how do they go through with that? I got the Ad on FB, would Facebook allow for such things? If so, then I'm making my own page for scams! (lol)

Clicked on the link & Chrome said it can't provide a secure connection & blocked me from seeing it.

Had a look on Firefox, the prices are ridiculously cheap & that does seem to be a scam. They also offer free worldwide shipping on orders over $99, but how could they do that in reality? I also Googled the exact physical address they gave in quote marks (here) & it came back as a pet shop, but with the same website layout (link).

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.


EDIT: I then Googled the exact street address, but without the type-o (space between 113Th), & it came back as "No results found..." (here).

And the domain registrant is in China. With a somewhat interesting history.

So no. Not real.

Why do they always seem to be registered in Guangdong province? (Genuine question, if anyone knows the answer I'm interested in finding out)

You rang?

Guangdong is a major routing hub for many Asian and even a large amount of international companies due to their advanced tech infrastructure and cheap labour.

Think Indian call centre but real nerds doing tech outsourcing for peanuts.

I can’t comment on the authenticity of the products, company or whatever but when things look to good to be true, they usually are.
