I received my order from them and I would have placed another bigger order with them except I was clued in on their M.O. first, so even though I paid too much, I got some legit gear from them. (This was before I ever found this forum and I was pretty clueless about buying online)
This is NOT to encourage just placing a small order with each scammer to get a cycle's worth of gear LOL! What I am trying to say is that unless you know you have bogus gear, don't toss it. You might have the real deal there even though you got it from a scammer.
