Per Summit Daily:

" By the terms of the temporary restraining order, 123Mountain is prohibited from advertising, selling or accepting orders on the Internet or advertising or selling merchandise that they do not have in their physical possession or requires shipment to customers."

Yet, they are posting daily on 123mountain.biz and continue to do business on e-bay under 'grivel-us' claiming the following:

We offer easy and professional shopping for all your Grivel needs. Everything is in stock at our huge warehouse, so we don't need to special order or drop ship. Place your order with Grivel-US, we'll process that order quickly and ship it fast. In addition, our customer service team is on call to help you find what you're looking for, and provide technical and sizing assistance.

they also own grivel-us.com and deceive customers into believing that it is a legitimate US dealer for grivel.com.

The grivel-us.com website has an "about us" tab that basically is copied/pasted from the actual Grivel website....is this fraud? They make it sound like they are THE manufacturer.

I emailed Grivel about this issue two weeks ago, hopefully they are building a case to get that site pulled. It would be easy for some internet shopper to not notice it isn't a legitimate page affiliated with Grivel.

They ripped of Korean govt for 87k probably not smart.

Grivel-us.com is most definitely fraudulent. I am responsible for Internet accounts at Liberty Mountain, the exclusive US distributor for Grivel. Liberty has been talking to Grivel about this and looked into what legal action is available. Please do not purchase anything from Grivel-us, as they are not authorized in any respect for Grivel products and have no products beyond what has been hidden from the Frisco seizure.

Yeah, their website has no contact info (no phone number, no e-mail and no physical address). Scam alert!

Kinda wondering why... like they're site is shut down. No one can buy anything from them online. Maybe they just dont realize it but these people dont seem dumb.

That would mean they likely paid someone so idk... sounds like an unlikely explanation ;-)

When MP stays mostly on topic for 18 pages, criminals get shut down.

Things we can accomplish when we aren't pissing over other stuff. GO MP!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
