Who want a 2 gigabyte SSD? My phone has 64 GB.
Its a scam to harvest your email and creidt card.

It’s a 2 TB SSD. Of course, it’s a scam.

And their customer reviews at the bottom have text that was copied/stolen from Amazon reviews, and the photos were probably lifted from the Onion.

I decided I could gamble $44.
You placed a bad bet.
$45 buys a lot of bacon or pie.
You are a much braver person than I!
'Brave' is not the word I'd use.
You should cancel your credit card and get a new one.

Too many red flags to list...
starting with no contact link anywhere
the count down resets itself when you reset the page
Macafee, BBB and Trust images at the bottom don't link to anything

You guys are probably right.
If my life is destroyed I'll be sure to let you know.

They tacked fake pics onto Amazon reviews for the LaCie Rugged 2TB HD.
The icons at the bottom are supposed to link back to the authorities that granted those certifications, but they're static images.
The 2TB version of the LaCie Mobile goes for $500 online.
The domain is odd.
The vendor is unknown.
Looks like 90% of the code on that website is for trackers to identify your browser and deliver targeted ads (and yes, many go back to Facebook, tho there's also some Google-tracking going on there and lots of info going to trackers I've never heard of).
Seems like just visiting that website delivers gobs of your personal info to the bad guys.
Don't even follow the link.
