GOSOEASY.COM - Fake Electronics Web Site?

Hi There!

I received this email the other day:

I checked out the http://www.gosoeasy.com website that is based in China and their website looks convincing, but a few alarm bells rang.

The Hotmail email account.
WHOIS reports that this site has only been registered for only one month and after having email communication with gosoeasy.com they reckon they have been trading 4 years online.

The very fact that XINNET TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION is mentioned rings alarms as they have been mentioned before for being scammers!

Has anybody had dealings with this company and does anybody think they are scammers?

Chinese website and low price brand name electronics always equals scam.

At best you will get low quality fakes, but more likely they will take your cash and send nothing.

If they're in China, why do they write like Africans?

The domain is registered for only one year. No one setting up a store registers it for only one year.

To my knowledge the style of English the Chinese type is just that of the above introductory email. They usually start off with 'Hello Dear and Dear Friend'. I have not personally seen Africans typed English, but 'gosoeasy.com' are definitely Chinese.

This is their contact address on their website.

Address: NO 406 White Horse Gang,Huangpu Road,guangzhou,China

'White Horse Gang'........???? Hmm, says it all really!

And I notice the same registrant can be seen in relation to timi365.com

Seems to be a favourite ploy of scam artists to register for the bare 12 month minimum amount of time.

Ahh, yes Jolly Roger......nice find! Even the page layout of the website is pretty much the same as gosoeasy.com!

Lockatron,
you seem like a reasonably educated person. I'll ask you to further educate yourself with this information :
http://419advancefeefraud.blogspot.com/ ... sands.html

btw the single year registration is the single most dead give away for a scam site offering goods or services.

The facts that the 163.com listed as an anonymous email registrant address, and a mobile phone # are the only ways to contact the registrant, only deepen the suspicions of the validity of the site itself.

Information on phone number range +86 139XXXXXXXX
Number billable as mobile number
Country or destination China
City or exchange location
Original network provider* China Mobile
*) Number portability has not been taken into account

a real good rule of thumb is that if you did not ask for the email (unsolicited Commercial Email or UCE), it is SPAM and needs to be treated as if a SCAMMER sent it to you. 99.9% of the time that is the fact.
