Parts Wanted Can This Be For Real or a Scam?

While searching for a Futaba T4PM I came across this:

https://www.futaba-us.com/futaba-t4pm-with-r304sb-receiver/

The web address doesn't look right but the site looks really authentic...

Yeah, Thats a good site. Futaba and horizon holiday sales are GREAT. They are blowout priced to make room for new models im guessing.

The "official" Futaba site is "futabausa" where this one is "futaba-us" in the web address.

A little unsure about that...Are you sure it's legit?

Martin, the site is real but NOT FUTABA when google futaba another site pulls up. NOT the site you listed. wow fake sites to rob us now????

 

[Martin Law]

If it is fake...it's a REALLY GOOD fake site. (wonder if Futaba knows about this)

Wasn't that hard to find. The web address is so close to the genuine site it's easy to miss the difference at first glance. To avoid anyone else getting sucked in is why I posted here on the forum.

Yeah a 10PX with receiver for 86.00? Nahh. I’d steer clear.

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

It’s a fake site!!!

Definitely fake, there are sites like this for milwaukee tools and a myriad of other expensive brands. I'm kind of surprised someone made a futaba one though, it's kind of niche.

FAKE...!!!!!

Stay away from them.......

I ordered some 400mm antennas from them and never heard back.

Thankfully, after filing a dispute with one of my banks, PNC, the money was returned to me.

I wouldn't say their price was too good to be true, but it was lowest found when searching.

Lo and behold, the hobby shop we used to deal with years ago in Detroit area, had a few and they were only a coupla bucks more.
Funny thing is, hobby shop owner hadn't seen me since early 90's, was glad to hear from me, and sold me the antennas for scam site's price.

With AI improving rapidly the time is coming, sooner than ya think, where every facet of life will become a nightmare.

Good luck!
