That website is totally a scam. See the emails below that I had with "Bob Peatman" who is listed as the contact person for this company. You will easily come to the same conclusion. P.S. The rickshaw comment is even giving this company too much credit.

Best regards,

Bob,

If that is even your real name which I seriously doubt it... You have clearly evaded several of my questions which raises immediate red flags. When you refrain from answering specific questions regarding your product you do not exactly come across as trustworthy or business savvy. I had asked your twice in the emails below as to how you have a product in stock for sale that has not been released yet by Pioneer. Also you did not answer whether the product was authentic or a replica. A person would have to be out of their mind to pay you via western union for any of your listed products as it would give them no protection or recourse should there be a problem. Should your business be "100% legit" as you say it is you may want to at least rethink the credit card route as a method of payment. The Western Union only form of payment is very suspicious. I firmly believe that my findings with Pioneer tomorrow would have clearly exposed you and your company as fraudulent. Good luck with trying to sell false products and trying to scam people out of their money. I will not be one of those people and I shall make certain to post our email discussion on the internet to share my experience in order to help others decide whether or not to purchase or even waste their time contacting your or your company.

Bob,

I do not mean to offend you, but I can not find anywhere on the internet where a single person has reviewed his or her experience purchasing any products from your company. Your pricing is very favorable. Would Pioneer be able to verify your company as an authorized reseller of their products? You have still not answered how you would have the AVIC-Z140GH when it has not be released yet. No one else has it in stock, but you claim that you do. It your product a replica or is it the real version? All of my questions listed will need to be addressed before I feel comfortable about purchasing this equipment from your company. Malaysia has a bad reputation for credit card fraud, etc. This price and availability of a product yet to be released seems to good to be true.

Best regards,

Andrew

Hi Bob,

Are you guys an authorized dealer for Pioneer? I checked on Pioneer's website and your company is not listed as an authorized dealer. I have never purchased anything from your company before, and I want to be sure that you guys are a legitimate company. Also how do you have this item in stock if Pioneer has not released this model yet?

Best regards,

Andrew

I have visited your website and I am interested in the Pioneer Car GPS Navigation AVIC-Z140BH that is listed for $700.00. Do you currently have this Pioneer Car GPS Navigation AVIC-Z140BH in stock? I was informed that this model has not been released yet.

Thanks,

Dear Drew1973, I would personally like to thank you very much for listing your full email conversation with TechniquesCity!! A simple thing I should point out is that the Western Union company was actually created FOR Thieves. That's the only reason it exists. When the name Western Union is EVER listed, that means the subject is "automatically" a scam. Simple enough.

lol Western Union wasn't created for thieves. Western Union was originally formed to create a unified telegraph communications network. It just so happens that today they primarily run a money transfer service that is preferred by thieves and scammers, but it still has it's legitimate uses.

That's all besides the point however. No matter what form of payment these guys prefer I wouldn't give them a rusty nickel.
