content: Ya true enough for me that the website did makes me felt a little dodgy.I did emailed him to the hotmail and the orz mail and I even tried to call them by the phone number they given and nobody pick up. But one thing I felt very weird is they do updates the website regularly.Recently they did add couples of new product to the list. Check on the new product and the date posted.

content: I've looked at the site and noticed a very strange thing: for every component I looked for, the quantity in stock was always 9999 or 9998 or some other number very near 10000...I can understand they have 10000 smd resistor of one value, but 10000 7815 voltage regulators will add a lot of money to their stocking cost.I'm just wondering if their parts bins are located in Wonderland, or maybe in Neverland.Definitely BOGUSbest regards

content: Or they just don't bother keeping track of stock and set it to 10k to shut up the software. Just like some shops that set the price to $10k if an item is out of stock. Not that it doesn't sound like a dodgy company.

content: Doing a whois on the domain name reveals the domain owner uses a domain owner protection (aka information hiding) service.While I do understand the need for private persons to use such services I think it is a warning sign if a company does the same.Quote

content: Murata ENC-03RC is $13 on eBay (including s&h) or 3 for $25. In stock. But maybe slow shipping.

content: the links at the bottom of the shops pages just keep leading back to the home page but should be external pages (like the software developer of the websites software). I agree with all of the the above, DODGY !the styles of the photos are also too many, it looks like they are just grabbing images from anywhere when it would be so easy to take their own images in a consistent manner - if they had the parts !
