Exactly. Note how everything costs around $60-- like they did a survey to see how much people are willing to risk on a questionable site. There have been a number of fake stores popping up on Facebook with bogus low prices. One giveaway is no phone number to contact. Another giveaway is a bogus address that if one googles the location, it looks totally impractical. Not only will these sights try to steal your funds, but they may also attempt to make purchases with your information to steal more funds. This site looks totally fake. I once used a legitimate overseas site, which later (after I received the goods) used my info for fraudulent purchases. I had to cancel my card. Look for independent reviews of the site, and if it checks out enough to convince you it's real, use a virtual credit card to limit liability.
