if you call the number on their ig it seems suspect IMO... and how do they have mints already? sketchy....
i called and spoke to "josh"
was going to place an order for 3 pairs of shoes (all lebrons) and asked about the copper foams as well. supposedly they have a few pairs on consignment and he is asking $280. he asks how im gonna pay, i ask if they take AMEX.. no... he then asks if i have paypal and asked hi to send me an invoice. i received an email and text but being logged into my paypal, there was no request. i then called paypal to verify it was a genuine request and they told me there has been no activity on my account in last 24 hours. i then forward the email to [email protected] and this is what i received back..
Hello xxxxxxxxxxx,

Take it or leave it, i call BS. I even tried calling him back to clarify and have them send a real paypal invoice and i ended up in a voicemail box of some guys name, not josh or "Teaonca Haddock" who "requested" the paypal money from me.
i knew it seemed too good to be true.
if anyone else gets thru and has a legit transaction, good for you. but until i hear more then no go for me.
Sorry for the long response but i feel it was all necessary. do your homework folks!
