Yes, the product oage layout and company intro pages are similar to other pages I have considered scam.Inspiredcapers wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2023 11:12 pmhttps://www.newneptuneus.com/skis-asnes ... 62-xplore/

Gee, I mean there's a Neptune Mountaineering in Colorado, but this one "which uses the same name" saysInspiredcapers wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2023 11:12 pmhttps://www.newneptuneus.com/skis-asnes ... 62-xplore/
Oh, and the 996 area code is for Kyrgyzstan. Maybe "McAlester" is in "Old Kyrgyzstan" or "OK" for short.Telephone: 9963948966
Address: 1424 E Osage Ave, McAlester, OK 74501
Oh, and https://www.newneptuneus.com/faq/ says:
Oh, well that's good to know, as is that glovegearshop.com website doesn't work. Must be a 2020 glitch, because these people have heard of that site:CAN I CHANGE MY ORDER AFTER IT’S BEEN PLACED?
We process your orders very quickly. If you find that you have made an error in your order, please notify us immediately by filling out our customer service admin@glovegearshop.com. If your order has not yet been processed, we may be able to correct it. However, if the merchandise has already been shipped, we will be unable to modify your order.
HOW CAN I PAY FOR MY ORDER?
We accept the following forms of payment at checkout*:
PayPal
On your bank or card statement, the transaction will appear as Critical Role.

and
I mean, c'mon man, a site using a Colorado store's name and photos
with an Oklahoma address,
a Kyrgyzstan phone number,
who runs Customer Service through a different (defunct) website,
and processes payments under yet a another different name,
for products at a fraction of retail,
a checkout screen that includes "Paypal Payment
You will get a random discount between 1-99 USD." (woo hoo!)
as well as a Privacy Policy that, well...
That ski price is just TOO GOOD to pass up!

specifically

A and B show the same people, just different states... countries... continents...
Oh, and that McAlester address is not in a commercial zone.
