Local Hero Sport - Scam Site or Not?

Food on 02/02/2015 - 18:10

Hi guys, I need your help to see if this is a dodgy website.
http://www.localherosport.com.au/
At first it seems a little suss, but on further inspection the address given is a vb precision tooling. When I look up the website whois it seems the local heros sports is linked with the vb.

Thanks in advance

    Their fb page has a grand total of 63 likes. They joined in 2013, so if it's a scam they're doing it wrong. I think it looks ok. Are you based in Sydney? You could check out their shopfront?

      Nah mate I'm in Adelaide, however on google street view its in a big long block (6/something).
      The address is to a different company (but seems like its the same person).

        You could call the company and ask if this Local Hero sport is affiliated with them.

          Yes I might, however there's an India bloke on with a myspace/linkedin page stafing he's the "ceo" of both Sports and VB tools.

    Totally legitimate business. Many stores stock their products. Granted, they're new and they're trying to exclusively selling Australian made products.
