Has anyone heard about this website/company?

Sale Tools and Top

I have been looking for air compressors, and found one I was interested in for around $1279. This was the best price I had found.

However, with a little more searching, I found the same compressor for 1/2 the price. On this website.

This seems too good to be true. I'd like to order it... But I'd like to know if you've seen this company or have any knowledge about it? It has prices that are about 1/2 on a lot of things, and it just sounds "too good to be true".

I don't have any knowledge of these guys, but just be careful. I noticed that they are based in Indonesia, so if you did have a dispute over something, I'm not sure how easy it would be to resolve it.

If it's to good to be true.....

Their business model may be 'just send your check to Indonesia and wait .....'

I would look for a lot of credible reviews before sending them anything.

First review on Google was "I sent them $5k and never heard back from them".

Well, there you go. I'd searched, but not for scam I guess.

Thanks

Very wise move. Always look at where they are located. If you can't find out, well, they have something to hide.

I took a peek and I see that some of their prices are in the "hey! That's a really good price" category, and some of them are in the, "No way. That's a scam." category.
