buy-sm.com - too good to be true?

[1funnyguy]

Does anyone know of any websites that can check a web address for authenticity/scam proof?
"www.buy-sm.com"
has some great deals on electronics, but I don't want to get scammed. One such deal is the Canon EOS 5D ( a really nice digital SLR camera), for $780 - it runs in the thousands in the U.S. Anyone heard of this site or can check it out? thanks

I actually tried it out...the excuses were awesome. The customs seized your product, the duty is alot more than i expected, send me more money and i will pay the duty....

Do not try it out unless you have alot of money and time to talk to this guy and hear the stories that he comes up with...they are pretty funny...
