John the sad part is it probably would not matter as these scammers are more than likely located overseas outside US jurisdiction. This is a multi-billion dollar scam ran by thieves located all over the world. They pick a unsuspecting equipment dealer or remote location or in this instance an office building in Cali. They launch a website with great deals and only deal over the phone or via email. They block calls within a days drive in order to keep people from dropping in to see the fake equipment they don't have for sale. They breed on peoples greed and the "man I'm getting a great deal" that is always too good to be true. They keep a victim on the hook long enough for them to wire some money that ultimately ends up in a foreign bank account and gone for ever. After they get the victims money they cut off all communication. I'll say this every time one of these sites come up - Wiring money is a one and done - once it's gone, it's GONE, GONE with no recourse of getting it back. As others have said if you cannot put your hands on the iron or have someone you really trust put their hands on it NEVER send payment, a down payment or a deposit fee - EVER.
