Planes, thanks for doing all of that research.
I'll add another one to this thread since it didn't come up in the search engines: storeb2b.com (a new sister company of Megagoods.com)
for laughs, I did a whois lookup and it listed it's address as:
2741 South Alameda Street
Los Angeles, California 90058
registered on 30-Mar-07
seem familiar? LOL...
And upon doing a google maps search, lookie what I found:
Link hidden: Login to view
I'm thinking they might be the large warehouse with trucks on S. Alameda and Ross Street by zooming out on satellite view in both google and yahoo maps (perhaps not a public access via trucks since it's a large distribution warehouse)
The other known business at that location google so kindly lists on the right pane:
Discountdealstore c/o Storeb2b?
Izit U by Phillipe?
MegaGoods, Inc.?
Smart Systems?
therealdealshoppingspree.com?
The proposition itself for storeb2b is pretty tempting as they do beat some web prices this time around for only a small membership fee of $29.99 per month. Basically just like getestore.com, you sell for them, and get a cut off your own set margin. 10% margin by default on your default store items.
I'm going to call them tomorrow to see what they sound like (foriegn or domestic) and then see where they're shipping from. It's going to be interesting to see how they explain an empty lot or what they tell me when I ask if i can visit their facility.
I'll post back when I get some details. But for now, I just wanted to get storeb2b.com in the salehoo search engine in case someone else runs across this and wants more info. It's hard to find 'storeb2b scam' in the search engines and to contrast that, harder to find 'storeb2b rules.rocks,awesome, etc'
