site and the spammer is apparently posting from a gmail address - very dodgy!

The site appears to be templated - see the Privacy Notice.

Methinks a scam is in progress.

Does look that way. They now seem to have morphed into a mobile ringtones site. I wonder what happens if you ordered a circular saw? Perhaps you'll get a ringtone of it instead;-)
