Bilibears dot com - Scam

[Gregg Feldstone]

Just wondering if anyone else has come across this website: bilibears.com.
The prices are obviously incorrect so I am wondering if it is just a total scam or what?

They are offering a grizzly 1hp spindle sander for $60. Actual is $1450. Screams scam to me.

100% a scam site. Criminals abound.

I looked up their address on Google Maps. Here's their corporate headquarters:
https://www.google.com/maps/@27.9527...7i16384!8i8192

Their "About us" page is a description of some beach towels.
Their email address is a garble of mostly random letters.
Looking under the hood, the code that shows how many people are viewing an item, and the code that shows how soon the item will arrive, are both fake.

So, yeah, 100% scam.

The reason sites like this exist is the same as why we still have the Nigerian 419 scam letters floating about. That is because people's greed completely shuts down their common sense.

I saw another site that sold scale model V8 engines that were extremely detailed and realistic looking. I'm sure they were pics of the actual full sized engines. They were like $50 or something ridiculously low.

Warning to all good SMC folks - many, many social sites like Facebook Marketplace have fake wood working & equipment items - best to get a burner phone & additional email addresses if you answer any ads. I recently sent message on a smaller lathe - no return calls or return email but plenty of new fake emails & fake texts. Maybe not from them but obvious sites like the OP asked about are to send you all that fake nonsense.
