New On-line Vendor?

That did it, thanks. I'll continue this discussion in Alpha's King Tiger thread instead of New Online Vendor.

STAY AWAY FROM THEM. I have read this is a scam site. I did order some items off there. I bought using paypal. I have opened a cased up against them this morning. I went back to the website this afternoon and it is not working. SCAMM!!! I hope I get my money back from paypal.

Scoobyinc Thank you for joining the Hobby Squawk forum and sharing this important information. I'm sorry to hear you've been scammed by that online website. I hope your candor helps others avoid the same situation, and I hope you get your money back! Paypal should side with you on this without issues because the offending website is not working.

Unfortunately, there are many fake websites these days trying to lure consumers with promises of cheaper prices. It may sound a bit self-serving coming from me since Motion RC is Heng Long's exclusive North American distributor and Freewing-Model has scammed our community by impersonating genuine Freewing, but I am speaking broadly as an online consumer when I encourage us all to exercise caution if something seems too good to be true. This goes for anything, not just RC. Call the vendor, look at Google Trusted reviews, ask on public forums such as this --anything/everything you can do to be certain the vendor is legitimate, before making a purchase. I'm speaking to myself as well because I'm often enticed by online deals that look too good to pass up. Any of us could be forgiven for trying to score a deal or discount on something we want. The problem is this impetus is exactly what scammers prey upon.
