    I recently came upon this site www.oceansideblt.ca and they have "too good to be true" prices on certain items.

    Marantz HDDAC1 High Definition USB DAC/Headphone Amp - B00NTR459S
    • Product Code: B00NTR459S
    • Availability: In Stock
    • $1,923.02
    • $115.04
    Grado - Prestige Series SR325e Headphones (set of one) - B00L1O2PDY
    • Product Code: B00L1O2PDY
    • Availability: In Stock
    • $777.72
    • $110.40
    I got taken earlier this year when I was trying to get a deal on a pair of Grado headphones. Someone mirrored a N.Y. and the money went to a back in Canada. Luckly I got my money back from PayPal. Anyone else seen this one? Looks very suspicious to me.

    Like you said, it looks too good to be true.

    Obvious fraudulent site with private registration and using criminal hosting. A product description of the earliest archived page includes the cut-and-paste source "This product is sold exclusively by GeekriaDirect".

    The domain registrar is Hexonet, their report abuse page is here, if you can prove the fraud violates a domain registrant terms and conditions: Report Abuse | HEXONET

    The IP address is listed as a Netherlands netblock, to the piracy/crime hosting company IP Volume (formerly Ecatel, which takes anonymous Bitcoin) - that company listing their contact details to RIPE as in Seychelles. Connected with "Quasi Networks" another place with false info that doesn't respond to abuse complants.

    "They now announce all their IPs with AS202425 as IP Volume Inc but if you see they are having multiple alias such as AS56611 REBA Communications BV, AS57717 FiberXpress BV and obvious one is AS29073 Quasi Networks LTD (Not Announcing any!) while others are announcing Seychelles and Dutch IPs. But most of the IPs have changed their GEO to Russia, Chile and Israel"

    In my case I had Googled a price search on some Gado SR80e phones this past summer and it showed a N.Y. HiFi store had the best price so I purchased with PayPal but never got any definitive shipping info after payment. After I my emails went unanswered I realized something was wrong. I did some detective work and saw that the money went to a Canadian bank and later found the original website page from the store in N.Y. that they copied for their scam. Interestingly Forbes magazine had just run a story on the Grado's so maybe they saw that as their opportunity to set up the dirty deed. These are more than likely the same thieves.

    Do they include the make and model number of the truck their inventory fell off of?
