I'm interested in some of the products offered on this website:

www.sale-telescopes.com/

which gives addresss in Singapore & Indonesia. Warning bells already sounding from reading the website, a search on google maps for the two addresses showed no signs of the business; and when something seems too good to be true...

If anyone could comment on this company Sales Telescopes I would be very grateful

Regards
Andy

"This telescope sales site has been discussed many times on astronomy forums. You cannot sell a $3,000 telescope for $1,200 and stay in business. You also cannot sell items that the manufacturer doesn't have enough of to meet their own demand. Be very careful ordering from this group. Many have reported sending their money by "wire transfer" and getting nothing in return."

It's a scam. There was a warning on CN, among other negative reviews.

Never thought to search CN as well before asking here.

Thanks for confirming.
