This company sells "Blinks" which is illegal. This thread should be removed and said member banned.

Another name for knock-offs and counterfeits. If you blink it passes for real; like Rolex watches for $59.oo.

Let's just hope this member really is looking for buying advice since most his/her posts are about how legit a company is and none yet seem to have any ties to each other.

We not going toban somebody just because they're asking about the legitimacy of a site.

with that said, here is a quote on their FAQ page,
"If you agree, you can make your full payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer. We will send your package once we get the money."

With ONLY those types of "payments", chances are this is not legit.

So your advice to the thread starter would be to NOT buy from them?

I would suggest the same if that's the case.

Merchants who do not not accept credit cards should definitely be avoided. Sending money via western union, moneygram, bank/wire transfer, egold, etc., is the same as sending cash and if the deal goes awry then a buyer has no recourse whatsoever to getting his/her money back.

One should purchase online with a credit card ONLY because the buyer can initiate a chargeback/reversal with his/her credit card company, thus has a very good chance for recovering his/her money when the merchant is a scammer, for instance.

Another big red flag is this store is located overseas (in Pakistan):
http://whois.domaintools.com/brando-products.com

Shahzad Tabassum
Khadim Ali Road
Sialkot, Punjab 51310
Pakistan
0300-9618115

Look for known good merchants via our product price search engine here, www.resellerratings.com, and read stores' reviews before you buy.

I have duly filed a complaint, with the IACC, regarding this company. It is very clear to me, that they are engaging in criminal activity.

At minimum, their website should be shuttered. I hope that the IACC,takes immediate corrective active in this matter.
