OK, I have received credible evidence from the manufacturer that this photo stream is from their reject line, and that there is an "offer" n the table to "make this go away" for $X (USD) by a terminated employee. In short, folks, take this with a grain of salt and wait to see the results of any legal or civil action before you make that final call. We've had, almost all of us, experience of doing business in the "Wild, Wild East", and much of it involved just this sort of practice where a consumer got ripped, or a US company or European company got ripped off by deceptive pricing and later extortion fpr higher prices.

Also not that the OP just opened this account just for this purpose. I'm deactivating his account until the situation resolves itself and locking the thread pending legal action. I'll leave this up until morning and then quarantine the thread until resolution. I just don't want our members to think we're hiding anything.
