This site has scam written all over it, but what's the scam?

The site is CameraGPS .info

I'm hunting for new electronics and the FF/GPS Combo units they show are like 1/3 the price.

Is it referb, knock off or fake, no accessories?

Or...

Legit, super deal? (ya right)

How about ton's of counterfeit products! That's the scam. If you deal with any Garmin product (as an example) Garmin will only warranty/exchange/repair within their rules.


Sorry but I would avoid that scam site.

I was thinking fake products but the site has thousands of items. Man, that's a mountain of fake stuff if that's the gig!

I don't know if they will have what you're looking for but check out http://dx.com/ They are another Chinese site. I've ordered from them and didn't have any problems.

They might be over runs that did not make the US QC standards and went out the back door for disposal.

China is similar to the Wild West with standards.
