Complaint Review: The Russian Store Aka Antikot Aka Gabe Sende

The website purports to sell russian military collectible uniforms, but delivers nothing (however, they do take your money). The only way to find out a price on an item is to email or call them. When I reverse searched the phone number, I got a different address for a S. Gabriel in Woodland Hills, CA. It isn't possible for a landline phone to have two completely different addresses.

They also claim to be an ebay store under the name of Russian Store, but no store is listed with that name. They do advertise on ebay under another name collectibleswwwantikotcom, or www.antikot.com. This site sells similar things, but I suspect it's also bogus.

I contacted a legitimate store of a similar name(russianstore.COM) to notify them that this disreputable site was using there ebay name. They responded that they've received many angry email messages from other unhappy customers thinking they were reaching the .NET website.

My advice is investigate all internet websites that don't offer legitimate sources to pay for merchandise, and always ask smart questions when dealing with the smaller businesses to protect yourself from potential heartache. It would have cost my son and I $268 dollars if we hadn't looked into things.
