As per the thread title. I'm trying to find out if yachtsupplyuk.com is a scam site or a legitimate supplier. I stumbled across them while doing an online search for some bits I need. Their prices seem remarkably low, maybe too low to be genuine. Before risking a chunk of my hard-earned, I wondered if anyone here had any experience, good or otherwise, of ordering from them.
 
No contact other than email, no address, no actual Co name, no phone. No Co. number, No Vat No (although probably not UK, who knows). "Who are we" picture can be found elsewhere in image search.

Dodgier than a dodgy thing in dodgyland.

As I kind of expected. There's a lot of truth in that old saying "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true".

Simple rule. If you are not sure, don't do it. (Where card payments and the web are concerned). No harm in asking someone to price match though if you find something on the fake site you particularly want at that price ;-|

To be honest, the prices on there are so unrealistic, I don't think you'd get any genuine retailer to match them. That was the first red flag for me.
