Serious red flags — proceed with extreme caution
I ordered a facial cleansing machine from made-medical-supplies.com for $4,500. At checkout the site said they would send payment instructions — I then received an email asking me to wire the money directly into the company’s bank account (the bank is in Indonesia). I verified the bank itself and it appears to be a legitimate, long-standing bank, but that alone does not prove the seller is legitimate. I tried to verify the company: there is no Better Business Bureau listing, nothing useful on Google beyond their own website, and the company representative’s only “proof” was to point me back to their website. The same machine sells for a lot more in the U.S., so the huge price gap made me suspicious. Because they want an irreversible wire transfer and I could not independently verify the seller, I refused to pay. If you see them, do not wire money.
