Go to CONTACT US on your second link. No physical address or number. Instead they ask for all your personal info. I’m saying scam. You?

Larry,

I am sure that all three are scams. At the vary least, they are fishing for your data.

Notice the that link that pretends to be Harbor Freight is actually a www.jufuff.com domain?

I got bitten by a Chinese scam and I know how good some can look. These don't even look that good.

Matt

I was told long ago that if something appears to be too good to be true it
is. Proven many times over.

I've run into a few scams like this, one while looking for a yellow Ford jack like we use.
They supposedly have whatever you want at a too good to be true price.

BTW, talking about scams, as a Canadian I get at least one or two calls a week saying they are either local police, Revenue Canada or Canada Customs, usually with a warrant for my arrest if I don't pay them immediately. They even fake their phone numbers so it appears to be from the real people. Some local lady got scammed out of $30k before she caught on.
These happen in the US?

Burl, I live 5 minutes from the local Police station that doesn't look at all like a Police Station.
I'd give the the street address of the Police station and tell them to meet me their to get their
money. NOTE to any one the scrammers contact ,, NEVER give them ANY real personal information.
