Hi all. Recently I was looking for a lens for a camera and in the Google search results (in the ad block) I saw an interesting offer (see screenshot)

I went to the site and was surprised. This site fotosila.com offered lenses 1.5 - 2 times cheaper than the average market price. Also, the owners of the online store asked for 100% prepayment and worked only through a bank transfer. Naturally, this was alarming. Through whois, I looked at the data on the domain and it turned out that it was registered only on March 5, 2014. And on the site in the footer there is a period of 2011-2014, that is, it turns out that the store has been operating for 3 years.
I found another site - mirelectron.ru. (domain busy 03/09/2014) Similar design. Purchase reviews from the same "customers".
The conclusion suggests itself - scammers? And if I'm right, is it worth doing something to protect people from divorce?

What will you do? If a person is at least a little friendly with his head, he will not buy from them. Personally, even a 10% price cut scares me off.

There is a good rule: "Do not rush to part with money." This means first goods, then money. And nothing else. So they did the right thing.
In the meantime, there are "burdocks" - there will be crooks.

There is a good saying: "The miser pays twice!" So let them go through the woods. If they have already somehow scared away their buyer, then they are not worthy of it. And if you really want cheap and high quality taobao.com, alibaba.com. But even there, in order to choose the quality, you need to look at the rating of sellers.

Abuse hoster. And the domain registrar. They will find someone to give at random.

As long as the Internet is "law-free" territory, it will continue to be so. Similar problems are now not only with "left sites", but also a lot of very "interesting" things fall into the mail.
