On 3/30/15 I was shopping for kayaks on-line. Several were shown to be for sale below all competitors' prices on UpCycledSavings.com. Before I ordered anything, I decided to do a little research. Exploring the associated phone number, *******485, I found MANY websites for online stores which are very similar to one another, and ALL use the *******484 phone number. Therefore, I believe the stores and websites are set up to scam potential customers. The other sites I found tonight are:
*******485
upcycledsavings.com
roverandfluffy.com
nonstopdrumming.com
handyshardware.com
toy-a-rama.com
armchairchampion.com
updatethathome.com
electricianwarehouse.com
babygoestotown.com
Lattitudeluggage. Come
scienceandindustrial.com
cornerhealthstore.com
toy-a-rama.com (defunct)
buildingsupplyplus.com
watchwrangler.com
niftyinterior.com
