Just wondering if anyone has anything to say about madrockshop.com, which bills itself as the mad rock outlet shop.  It seems pretty cheap and a little off so I was feeling a little skeptical.  Anyone have any experience with this site?  In contrast, madrock.com seems much less suspect.

If you have to ask......

But for real, address is bunk. Easiest way to check these scam sites is to just see where there address is. Usually doesn't exists or is some random house.

ONLY a little skeptical.

Didn't take much digging to see it's a scam. The address doesn't even exist. Not to mention other thing on the site.

It boggles my mind how willing people are to give a website their name, credit card #, billing address and that 3 digit code. For nothing more than saving $$$$.

Often the cheap comes out expensive.

Thanks for the quick replies!  But what do you mean that the address doesn’t exist?  I’m not quite following.
