This popped up on my Facebook home page! Prices are ridiculous. I am almost tempted to fly a kit as they are outrageously cheap!
Looks legit.

Hopefully you're being sarcastic but I can't tell.......
So just in case, you're correct, far too good to be true. Newly created website, previous names, registered abroad but contact address is residential in uk and strangely on the website as a picture, not text (trying to not be found on Web searches?), prices way too cheap, pop up on Facebook, dodgy email address for what is trying to be a professional website, terms and conditions are mostly garbled rubbish and just the words terms and conditions repeated over and over, email address also used for a dodgy looking American website.......
Reviews make it look dodgy too

Too good to be true price and notice that PayPal isn't a payment method either. Always wary as that way if folk are daft enough to pay by card then they could take the lot.

No chance mate, definitely a scam.
My wife's just purchased a 70-200mm canon 2.8 L used and it still cost us £950

Check it on Companies House. Philorix Ltd the company they quote shows as "DISOLVED". Avoid at all costs.

Lots of these scams around.
Most of them originate out of China, behind a European looking website. You order and pay and you will get a receipt email, confirmation email and updates, all very professional.
After quite a long wait you will receive your item. Depending on the website if it offers many different types of items other than the specific item you ordered ( fishing tackle etc) you will receive some cheap bit of tat, sunglasses or suchlike. When you complain you are told that they will accept returns but the cost of returning the item to China is prohibitive, far more than what you paid for the item. The postage time also is outside the time limit for contacting your card provider for clawing back your cash ( this is what the reassuring email about receiving your order, packing, dispatching etc are for).
If it is specifically camera equipment you will get some really cheap **** useless item, totally worthless as the same return scam is used. Some even will offer you a 50% return on your initial outlay. They work on low money charges on a huge scale, rather than trying to scam large amounts. Technically they have supplied an item, you have asked for a return, they have offered a return service or a partial refund. Most people will shrug it off due the relative small amount.
Often the Website will be at top of a search and will stay there for about a month before vanishing. Some clues to look out for is the prices will always be low, the exact same amount will be quoted time and time again for items which obviously have different values. Another clue is the pictures will be from various websites, manufactures etc. You may even recognise some eBay ones if you've been looking on their for a particular item.

Look at the bottom of the page, the websites motto is "always young. keep passion", which has got 'chinese scm' written all over it. Reminds me of those photos of smiling chinese girls wearing t shirts which dodgy english translations, usually offensive!
