Hi,

I saw the following website advertised on Facebook: http://www.buy365.co.nz

and having had a look around I couldn't help but feel as though it was a con-job website but I'd like to hear back whether anyone has actually used it and they are actually genuine.

Any information regarding the said website would be much appreciated.

A Chinese website registered through an Indian company?

Are you kidding me? Kill it, kill it with fire.

Translation: we're selling fakes.

2 seconds just looking at the website, the logo and brand name look like they were done in word in 10 seconds. No address details etc.

Also note that just because there's an ad on Facebook it doesn't automatically make a web site "legit"...

I dunno about that, DirectI is pretty legit actually. Of course the same can't be said for the website in question...

I totally ignore all advertising I see on Facebook. Half the time they look like sites that would steal all my creds (paranoid girl here... I have plenty of safety checks in place, but I work on the principle that if I don't NEED to click on it, why bother?)
