A big lesson in the age old adage - if it looks too good to be true, it probably is... Well yes, it is too good to be true at Rayban Sun Store.
I like to think I'm pretty internet savvy, but these guys sure took me in. Raybansunstore.com is the best, most thoroughly detailed scam website I have come across on the net. To say it's professional looking is an understatement. I design websites - I should know!
As much work has gone into this a proper, legitimate commercial website - hundreds of hours I would say. It has a huge range of very well photographed sunglasses (each one from several angles) and they are priced VERY competitively, but not so cheaply that you smell a rat (about $70 starting price for majority of glasses). I am begrudgingly in awe of the websites sophistication and attention to detail.
The rat starts to smell after about 4 weeks when your sunglasses still haven't been delivered. Their "tracking information" conveniently doesn't work, but your credit card has most definitely been debited... By a Chinese company (and not one based in Kowloon as is reported on their website).
Emails are NEVER returned, no phone numbers are available and their "Online Support" is offline 24/7.
For me this is the benchmark in online scamming. Lesson learned for me - please don't make the same mistake!
