www.genesci-china.com is not the real Gensci website.. it takes you to a bunch of crooks who take your money and never send the goods.. someone using the name carrie contacts with hotmail and/or hushmail to sell you the products 'unofficially'.. but it is just a con... so be careful.. learn from my mistake. View the who is info for all alleged Gen sites the original and older one is the real one. It's pretty obvious one of the Americans behind the scam is messing with this page. |
