Is it a real site or bogus

[smoker2]

Visited site: Hydraulichosefittings.com This Site appeared active, detailed levels but not flashy. Will accept orders. Site was updated in past week. However, no response to email inquiries, the two 800 numbers that were listed on site last week disappeared with site update and the posted local Phone ## only goes to automatic "Voice or Numeric entry" answering service. Trace on order attempt runs circle back to order trace screen without any information. Anyone know how to determine if this is just a faulty commercial site or an information trap? Thanks, Smoker2

If you can't get ahold of them via e-mail or telephone, that should be a red flag right away: Forget them.

Look for another vendor...there are plenty of good ones out there.
