Is this site legit?

I'd just run over an ad in the local used site about this company. What catches my eyes is that while some products are priced just fine, some are completely out of place. Say, the Titan Xp, actually sells for less than one of the cheaper 1080ti custom cards like the Armor (550 USD compared to 610 USD). Is this site any good, or a scam?

Yeah, I wouldn't bother trusting it.

 

As pointed out, the website is not using HTTPS, which is something most websites these days should have enabled, such at linustechtips.com/main/ has it.

 

Even while at the cart with a 1080ti, there is no HTTPS enabled.

 

I also have never heard of the website so a no go for me.

Here are my concerns with their website:

  1. Content such as their entire About Us page has been plagiarized.
    (see: https://herokingsltd.nethouse.me & https://www.amazon.com/sp?seller=A20GO3CSQDOKI7)
  2. They don't have mention at all of any kind of refund or DOA policies.
  3. They're brand new website that has been literally started in the last few months with established track record or proof that they are a legal registered business.
  4. No social media following and proof of actual customers getting product.

For these reasons I would avoid using their website to place any orders. Just not worth the risk.

Just address is suspicious. Who would put Ltd to their website address? Besides things mentioned, just reading shipping info is odd. They say shipping to continental United Kingdom and Pakistan. Like wut? Then they have random country listing following. Just continental UK would have been odd and funny. Another thing is that there isn't any physical address and they lack Terms of Service part completely. Probably because thats where its easiest to spot scam sites.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^
