http://huntingstuff.mybigcommerce.com/headphones/ So I was browsing Google for AirPods, & this site came up. Seems it could be legit, but you never know. What do you guys think?

the site is not even allowed to be opened on my browser.

Same here. Safari tells me it can't verify the security certificate. I'd steer clear of that site.

Well FUCK ME. I stupidly made a impulsive decision & just bought a pair. Luckily I paid with PayPal but fuck man 

Paypal will refund the purchase if its a fake.

Yep, it's a scam. And I hope that PayPal rules in your favor @SkateboardPOhWow. I just went through a week of hell with this. This "seller" provided a tracking number that showed a package that was delivered to the same city, state and zip code. Even though I contacted UPS and got them to send me something showing that the package was delivered to a different address, and had a LOT more proof, they ruled in favor of the seller! I spent 4 hours on the phone with PayPal yesterday and finally they ended up crediting me for the money I was out but they did not take it away from this scammer!!
