• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I've seen a lot of these type of ads on FB in the last year... and lots of complaints from people never receiving their items. Or they do receive something trivial in the mail that they have to sign for so the sender can claim that you did receive it (because you signed for it) and are only trying to scam them.

Usually if something is really too good to be true, it's a scam...

So I tried to order 4 of these, and the Credit Card link doesn't work. Of course I wasn't going to enter any valid numbers, but there you go.

I did click "Contact us" and got an email: [email protected] . I like to send them notes asking dumb questions. If more people did it it would tie up their time and drive them to honest labour.

If you want to see an expert in action (and it is hilarious) watch:
