    Does this look LEGIT to you ?

    Top Google sponsored ads on a google search led me to this site:
    http://besteprice.com/home.php?cat=268

    Do you get the feeling it's fraud ?

                Google Answers: Is www.besteprice.com legit?
                http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=607061

                I would advise against doing business with this company for the following reasons.


                First of all the Toll-Free phone number 1-888-250-7522 given on their
                main page is a fax number belonging to Portus Alternative Asset
                Management Inc. (BVI).
                http://www.portusalternative.info/en...te/contact.htm

                Portus Alternative Asset Management in Chinese

                http://www.portusalternative.info/ch...te/contact.htm

                Secondly their customer service phone: number 1-877-833-7636 given here
                http://www.besteprice.com/help.php?section=conditions
                does not belong to them.

                This is a fax number and it belongs to Crumanz Life & Health Net , a
                company locatedin Allentown, PA.

                  They're paying Google for the #1 top spot. That's why I was curious. No, it didn't look legit to me either.
