I just happen to live in the same area of the location of the so called business. I was curious and I decided to cruise on over to the location you posted. Well guess what? The address is a printing/packaging service that also provides mailbox service. The United Postal Service calls them a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA). CMRA is a private company that acts as an agent for receiving and delivering the recipient's mail. A CMRA is sometimes referred to as an OBC (Office Business Center) or a CEC (Corporate Executive Center).
It is clear that some companies will use a PO Box that has a physical address, and uses it as their real location to commit scams. According to USPS, the suite number you posted is supposed to be PMB (private mail box) not Suite which is a violation of the postal service.
Here is a suggestion I may add. If you want to check out a business that has the look of a real location go to the USPS web site and ask about the address if it is a CMRA. Business that creates the illusion that has an office, but it is nothing but a mail box service; I would steer clear. Of course always check out the RIP OFF Report for more info.
Anyways, anybody who is curious of what the place looks like when you send your money to get your kit.

The address is 1700 South Grand Avenue Suite 500
There is no Suite 500. it is in a tiny box...PMB 500

One more thing....they still have ads in newspapers and use different local phone numbers and do not have the ad every week. BEWARE!
