I am refering to website: gearxsmall.us.com; a different site than gearxsmall.com. The former is gone; the latter seems genuine, but still worth avoiding! The first one looks like a scam, smells like a scam, and walks like a scam! I don't know if "Business Manager" Zack Stephens, 145 5th Ave, NY, NY 10151 is on his way up to Sing Sing (i.e., up the river), yet; but at least this website is no longer around. Maybe someone can drop-by and knock on his door and get some further info! I would not wait for a return Email, though. (The above address is where he wanted me to "wire money"!) I got this info by using a phony SSN and agreeing to pay by check. I immediatly got an order acknowledgement with a sob story about "problems with the bank processor and merchant account". I sent out several reports, and poof, the website is gone! Just Be VERY Alert! o Never even respond when a website asks for your SSN (for security reasons). They cannot check the number you might give, anyhow; so how can they be interested in protecting their security? o Never send financial info, like a credit card # over a non-secure link (i.e., not https ) o Never even give your credit card # before you see a personalized invoice for the TOTAL COST. Scarry, though; this was a pretty slick looking website! I think even the BBB Logo with a personalized "Reliability Profile" was bogus!
