Anyone familiar with this business?

I don't know if this is a joke or not.

Strange that if you google the Horton St address it turns out to be a sporting goods store? Having said that the prices are a bit of a giveaway that all is not well with this mob.
Their noted payment/ transactional site kicks out the following error.

This site can’t provide a secure connectionwww.kiruoco.com uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

Additionally if one googles their contact us email, cs4@qianlongservice.com, there is a wealth of information to clearly indicate avoid at all costs.

A search on their phone number brings up a lot of hits for different domains, most mentioning 'scam'.



Country code is Sarawak.

There's a similar/identical site doing the rounds on Facebook Marketplace. They reckon people have returned scopes unopened because the cardboard box was damaged. Sounds fully above board....

$69.90? Sounds about right for Celestron


Now if it was Meade at that price, you know you are being scammed/rorted, since Meade are $29.99
