My wife told me she ordered me a couple models from this site earlier this week. They have really good prices but I've never heard of them. I find very little in reviews. Has anyone here ordered from them. I'm hoping they're a legit company.

First, she should have researched the website.

I have never heard of such a site, to be honest with you.

Maybe this would help...

Very interesting. There is no mention of anyone buying from them.

And that worries me.

It seems like a very poor investigation.

I tried to open the site itself, not the "investigation" page (which is pretty obviously a translation from another language), and it was blocked by one of my malware programs for being infected with a particular virus.

Not a good sign...

That "investigation" doesn't really say much, does it.

Mike, hopefully the model kits your wife ordered are not expensive ones and you can put it down to experience.

However, check your bank or credit card accounts to see if any other monies have been taken just in case. Also look to see if they have an address and a land line phone number.

Does seem a bit odd..the 'About Us' talks about clothing for the style of each season.   The wording sounds like it was generated by a bot.  The Contact Us shows an address in LaCrosse, WA.

I've already cancelled my debit card & got a new one. I checked my account & found a "company" called bestduka.com took the money out. I looked it up & found this is a scam. My banks going to get the money back for me. It was a little under $60.00 for two models. Not a lot of money but any amounts too much if you don't get what you order. I told my wife I appreciated her doing this but to let me check these places before buying anything. She knows very little about computers & thought the site was legit.

Glad to hear that you are getting your money refunded Mike.

The problem is with most scams, they are deliberately set up to look legitimate, after all they are com artists and that is what they are good at!

Guys, generally it is best to use a credit card rather than a debit card for many transactions as I believe that the company is technically loaning the money to you and therefore taking the risk I believe.

A debit card transaction is just the same as it you have paid cash so there is generally no redress if a problem occurs.
