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).

Portus Alternative Asset Management in Chinese
Fax: North America: 1-888-250-7522
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.

Red Flags:

This website was created on December 12, 2005, just 11 days ago.
Their website says ?Copyright © 1999-2005 Besteprice Inc.?

The IP location is China and their registrant information is from France.

Registrant Information:
Address : 46, rue des Herbiers, La Boissiere-de-Montaigu
Zipcode : FR-85600
Nation : FR
Tel : +33 6 64 29 88 36

The same registrant information used by besteprice.com is also used for
austria-arbeit.com/
http://www.whois.sc/austria-arbeit.com
Please note that austria-arbeit.com was created on November 22, 2005
and their website is already a dead link.

austria-arbeit.com is also mentioned on the website: Money Transfer
Job Scams: November 2005
http://www.joewein.de/sw/fraud-job-2005-11.htm

The same registrant contact information given by besteprice.com is
also used by jscepitech.com.
http://www.whois.sc/jscepitech.com
Note that jscepitech.com was created on October 25 2005 and it is
already a dead link.

This company has all the signs of not being a legitimate company.

Next time, ask Google :winkwink:
