Have you figured what set off my red flags? Look at their e-mail... goodlying@yahoo.com. Good Lying at Yahoo dot Com. Puhleeez. I am not making this up!
Now it may be a scam and when you send off your money for their products, you never see a product, or it may just be some aggressive businessman in China who doesn't get it. With a name like Mr. Big and an e-mail address like Good Lying, he's not going to build a whole lot of trust with English speakers.
Plus I wouldn't buy any food product grown or processed in China after all that country's attempts to poison us and our pets last year.
I did reply, however. Two words...
