We looked this site over more than a year ago and it is obviously bogus...how do you suppose they continue to operate??

And they have at least 99 of them in stock. Not to shabby, considering that's less than half of dealer cost in the U.S. The home address is Indonesia, Swarovski probably can't do much about it. It sure would be curious to see what really arrived, if anything, for your $915.

I will ask my friend in Jakarta to check this company if it is true or not.

99% scam. Many similar on-line shops selling bins at half regular price & they are usually registered in Indonesia.

I've also seen similar scam sites located in Indonesia. Besides a few spelling mistakes, the sites are generally quite professional looking so hope they are not having success duping people into handing over their money. Another scam I have seen a lot of recently on that auction site is users with no feedback located in Lithuania selling alpha binoculars at low buy it now prices. They aren't listed for long before someone takes the risk but when I check the feedback a while later, lets just say it doesn't end as hoped for the buyer.

It's easy to keep a website up and make it appear to support an ongoing business. Websites can stay up for defunct businesses as long as the server stays up. Fraudulent websites stay up and continue to take in money because it is difficult to take legal action to get the many smaller ones taken down. And more than a few countries are known for ignoring the problem.
