scam or real

I've not heard of them but if it's too good to be true it usually is.
Personally I'd stick to better known sites when buying grey (panamoz,digitalrev,hdew etc). It might be a little more expensive but it's worth it to know you'll not be getting scammed.

It might be a genuine site but I'd not take the risk.

The web address appears only to have been registered in March 2015 to a Mr. Wong, post code is in the Salford area of Manchester. Not that I have much experience myself, but personally I think I'd steer clear.

EDIT: Beaten to it with the full info by Tringa lol
 
As said for a few quid more can buy from places that are well known wouldn't risk it myself
 
Some very odd use of English within the 'Contact Us' section and other sections of their Website.

We are a international company with no racism, therefore we employ a vast divisibility of staff around the world from different nationalities, cultures. Therefore the following are public holidays that we respectively may be close for holiday, or have a lower manpower to handle variously operations.

No Company details, no terms and conditions, no VAT details or information on Import Duties, no geographical phone number, prices too low even by Grey Market Standards, in fact the whole website seems to have been written by somebody who does not speak English as their first or even second language. It looks to be a different operation to the appear and disappear websites WeLoveCanon and Canon World previously starring on this forum, but all three have one thing in common, they all apparently operated/operate out of units that are advertised as vacant. Do I think this is possibly another scurrilous website designed to extract money from unwary consumers, or a genuine but strangely written and incomplete website, well, I couldn't possibly comment, to quote Francis Urquhart of the 'House of Cards'
 
Not a chance on earth I would use them...
