The web site isn't totally professional but doesn't look a total scam either... Their Contact Us page they do tell their address and phone number, as well as few IM accounts. (Someone familiar with Malaysia should comment about the street address and phone number?) Payment method seem to be Credit Card, which is good.

I sent them few questions through their messaging systems. Let's see what they reply.
The address is a small town in a remote part of the country. Nothing wrong with that but the phone no. given is a mobile phone which instantly raise suspicion.

Plus, how come the shop is in Sarawak when most sites & bigger stores are situated in the city capital Kuala Lumpur. Sounds dodgy to me.
Right... I did get a reply from them.

I did a bit further investigation. I found out that domain name is registered very recently. Administrative contact address is in Kuala Lumpur. The physical web server (IP-address) is located in Chicago...

All of the above didin't get my trust up...

It's an almost sure scam. The short list of products which are mostly difficult to get items at way below average market prices is a dead giveaway.
