He's TOTALLY lying to you, trying to rip_you_off. There is no way any seller would give you their customers email addresses and they would not all be web mail addresses either. There is no way anyone in "Spain" would be selling unisaws at that price to US customers through a website designed and targeted at US customers. DO NOT DO IT!
I have read about Spain, it is a country LOADED with criminal activity, such as, a LOT of prostitution slavery that is illegal, the law system and police work is extremely lax there.
Also notice he did NOT state that he accepts credit cards? ONLY wire bank transfers? That is cash of the barrel for him, and he disappears my friend.

I've spent a lot of time in southern Spain and the Malaga address of the firm in question is in the Costa Del Sol. This area was a common hangout of European criminals who went there because of lax law enforcement and sunshine. Moreover, why would a Spanish company offer such favorable prices on an American product?
Good luck,

Are you kidding, he is high priced? I can sell them to you for $385 delivered right to your home. I only accept cash though, so please send it to me in a plain envelope.
I await your reply and the cash in the mail.
This sounds similar to the Nigerian scams ( see
Bottom line, if someone comes to you with something that seems to be to good to be true, it usually is!
Sounds good to me ,by the way I have a bridge I would like to sell cheap!!
Hell, if you want to throw away $2255 send it to me. You'll at least know where it went and you'll get just as much in return!
Hi Ed,
I happen to be driving your way, so I'll swing by with my cash in a plain envelope for ya.
I expect a discount for the delivery charge!
Oh yea...I'll take 2 of em.

Even if he could sell them for that price, on what planet could they be shipped from Spain to the US for $110? I might have trouble finding someone to ship them to the other side of town for that.
Some interesting information on hgpro-tools.com. Looks like the domain has been around for an entire two weeks. Where do I send my $2255?

Oh, I'd definately go for it- but first, I'd like to help me move some large sums of money out of Nigeria. Your name was given to me as someone trustworthy, so if you could just send along the routing number and access codes to your bank account, I'd be happy to deposit TEN BILLION DOLLARS into your account for safekeeping. :P

Indeed. Although clearly a rip-off, the quality of English and chosen target audience does strongly suggest someone from the US, using foreign servers and services. Nifty little scam. If only I was so clever. Not many woodworker types are going to part w/ 1500 minimum cash very easily, though...
Why not give the guy a call:
Schein, Will
2860 Horton Road (couple houses off?) Germanton, NC 27019 336-767-1300Might want to hit *67 first to block caller ID.
Let us all know how the conversation goes....

If I'm in NJ, I would give him a nice Christmas holiday by calling the DA.
TWO WEEKS and the site says "we can no longer accept credit cards due to fraud". WHAT a load of rip off crap!

Funny thing is that it appears that the web server is actually in the US. It belongs to Yahoo, and as best as I can figure from a traceroute, the web server itself is in California.
To add even more humor, I took a chance and Googled their supposed address. I located a Flemenco Dance Studio in Malaga, Spain.
Escuela Flamenca, c/ Flores García 2o Bloque 3-D, E-29 Malaga, 952 / 31 18
81For reference, Pro Home & Garden Tools' address and phone number from their web site is
Flores García 2o Bloque 3-D, E-29 Malaga,, 29006 , 952 / 31 18 81
So, either this is a combo Flamenco dance studio/tool supply or they just picked an address out of a hat.

Hot damn. My account number is 867-5309-90210-911-69 and the routing number is 10-10-220. I will keep your $10 billion safe for you, but it's going to cost you a $500 million service fee.
No, I can give you a lot more than Dave can. Send the $2,225 to me and I will give you a HCoA sanding sponge and my entire collection of Harbor Freight lathe tools, plus a nifty box of wood shavings and a Timex watch with no band.
Deal?
Well, yes. They could not defraud you with a CC!
I sent an email to the NC Attorney General, I will let you know what they say.

How much for all of it plus the watch band? And throw in a couple of HCoA glue spreaders.

Probably not much.
The likelihood of finding real names behind all the phony ones using 101 level internet service tools is about zero.
