Looks good to me and great buy for less than $80 with free shipping relative to the $130 I paid last year. But want to be sure I’m not missing something (and happy to share source with others).


Moderator Comment: As this appears to be a fraud, I have removed the website

Definitely a scam.

All they did was copy a picture of the Duda product and paste it on their site.

They will take your money and never send you anything.

They open and close websites constantly.

You need to do some due diligence to avoid buying from scam websites that will steal your money and probably use your personal information for identity theft.

1) Check the whois to see when the website was created.


ICANN Lookup

The ICANN registration data lookup tool gives you the ability to look up the current registration data for domain names and Internet number resources.
lookup.icann.org lookup.icann.org

Less than 1 year is a red flag.

2) Search the phone number and address to see what comes up.

Are there a lot of websites that use the same address and phone number?

Does the address look like a sketchy abandoned house, an empty lot or a Greyhound terminal?

3) Does the web address seem like a silly or generic name?

Are the addresses silly names like fluffytshirts.com?

4) Does the website sell at unrealistic prices?

5) Does the website sell a bunch of miscellaneous stuff with no type of theme?

6) Does the website list an actual business name like ABC123 inc?

If yes, is that business listed with the state or city for a business license or a company registration.

A business license or sales tax license should be looked up when possible, but this can be difficult to find if you don't know which city or county the business is registered in for their license.

If the business does contracting or trade work, they might be required to have a general contractor's or a trade license (HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing etc.).

Some cities and counties do not provide online access, so you can contact the business license or sales tax department but that's usually too much trouble unless you really need to know.

Update: I have a legitimate tracking number! They say it will take 10 to 15 days, but the tracking number site says 15 to 25 days due to COVID. It's coming from Fuzhou, China.

We shall see...

Well, they do filter sand, I suppose. Dispute with PayPal and Capital One initiated. Refund will be credited back to my CC within 3 days. Ordered a real sand filter from Pool Supplies Superstore. Color me stupid. :hammer:

Many times they will send something cheap and that gives them a tracking number to make you think your product is on the way.

If they don't send something, it's a clear criminal fraud. By sending something, they buy time and they can say they sent what was ordered. They can claim it's just a misunderstanding. They have clearly done this many times and have figured out how to make it work. Once they get enough complaints, they will close down and reopen under another name.

Reminds me of the time that I ordered subwoofers online for like 40% the normal price. Realized right after placing the order what was up and immediately initiated chargeback. A month later I received an off-brand Gucci wallet that shipped from China.

This is where I get all of my electronics.

They sell at about half price.

They are usually parked behind the 7-11.

They will ask: “No eres un policía, eres tú”.

And you can answer: “No, no soy policía”.
