Me also.
Best to be avoided.
"If is sounds too good to be true..." etc

If you swap with friends and colleagues, you win every time.

Sounds like a steaming pile of Rip-Off to me. They won't even tell you what HEMISPHERE they are in without getting your e-mail address. The .io (the domain in the web address) used to be assigned to the British Indian Ocean Territory, but has since been 'taken over' as a gaming domain. Sounds like just another rip-off feeding off of people's greed. The Nigerian Prince, if you will.

The English is better than usually seen, but is still not good enough to fool everyone.

Clicked on the link and got a message from my virus program - website blocked due to Trojan. So, yeah, think it's a bit of a scam . . .

So do I, but it's with the international postal system, not the seller as a rule

Yikes! apologies to everyone. My W10 gave no such response.
If it had, I would not have posted.

I scanned the site as soon as Rod posted it and nothing malicious was found.

I agree that it is sketchy content/scam but no one should need to get an immunization if they have clicked on the link.

Didn't mean to scare anyone - just reporting what happened.

Same here. It's why you don't click on untrusted links without antiviruses and the like.

You seem to be overlooking the Japanese Lottery Postal Card program which started in 1949 and still exists today.
