The site looks fishy especially since the home page shows a secure logo which is total garbage. Also this is an IP address your connecting to. Let me know what you guys can find out.

Is this fraud? the page asks for a lot of information that it should not, everything needed to sucessfully steal and charge on your card. Im not giving this site anything and I suggest that no one does. Just thought I would make you all aware of this fraudulent site.
