OriginalKeyless.com SCAM?

I found this on the MBCA Forum: just FYI...

Problem is, the package is supposedly sent First Class and these packages cannot be tracked so neither you or they can locate it.

The phone number listed does not give you the opportunity to leave a message and is registered to an apartment. The outgoing message states that all techs are busy and you'd be better off sending an email to their AOL email address. Many emails have garnered nothing more than continued stall tactics. Multiple requests for a refund have been ignored.

The key won't work even if it arrived! Make a complete mockery of carmakers immobilisers if anyone could just buy a key from this site, or off Ebay for that matter. They are all scams.

Presumably people are ordering via the internet, so why can't they google?

I can't even get you a key, and I know the guy!

I can however, get one for myself.
