"Potentially interested"???!! It's a scam of sorts.

Also, I would never trust a company that proclaims to be this big but then operates from a suite.

Been covered by others. This site was registered about two weeks ago. They are also not an apple authorized reseller. If you are willing to risk your money go for it but its a scam.

Suite 632 is more like Apt. 632 in my opinion....

I grew up right in the area...

I'd say scam.
