Fraudulent Retail Websites

So sorry to hear about this. It must be hard on you and your business. While the only thing in the near future that I am looking to buy is a streamer, I will definitely stay away from the two companies that you mentioned.

All the best!

If we could just get some DNA to make sure the website isn’t run by the same person, only in an alternate dimension. 
 

It’s a dang quandary, either way. There has to be a simpler explanation than all that, but these days if you hear the sound of hooves, it’s likely to be zebras, not horses. Another clever story, ruined in 2024.

I’m back to playing pinball on my tablet, and happy to say my diatribe made me feel a bit better. 
 

Hope you all had a good weekend!

I am not sure why you want to disagree with the OP’s assertions ...

I’ve questioned the OP, who has made claims of fraud. I haven’t actually disagreed, other than to note that the sale of gray market goods is not inherently fraudulent. Both sites look sketchy to me. On the other hand, it's also odd to see a manufacturer use a forum to claim fraud on the part of a retailer. That's why I asked if the OP contacted the US retailer before going public.

My guess is this thread won't last. It's one thing to urge caution, and it looks well warranted here. But it's another to allege fraud in the absence of proof.

Thanks you @ verdantaudio for the heads up!
