Default Scam? Too good to be true?

Found this wholesale website with lots of rc stuff at real low prices. I have been lusting after this Black Horse Me 109 but the price is steep about 700.00. Found this during a web search and they only want 238.00 AND free shipping but they only take wire transfers or western union. Something doesnt feel right...

I just spit coffee all over my screen when I read the "Return Policy"

"If you have any problems about the underwear you received,please contact with our customer service within 15 days of receipt.And our customer service will let you know how to process an exchange or refund."

Underwear? As in take me to the cleaners?

this is also happening a lot on fleabay where bogus sellers offer an item, not just RC and the buyer sends the funds and never gets the goods. fleaby will eventually shut the seller down but they simply open a new account.

Caveat emptor in our case but for these sellers . . . caveat venditor!! [8D]

I travel to China quite often , so I sent them an email that I want to come to there office , see the inventory ect.
We have 6 office over there , so if I dont get a responce i will get one of my co workers to check it out if I can get an address .
I emailed them as if I was interested in doing business but needed to visit the "showroom" lol
We shall see ! Nice scam and nice website lol
