Well they might know how to make scooters but they sure as hell don't know how to market themselves. Are there many Nigerians in China? :)

The product range is correct as is the company name

It would appear that the e-mail address may not be, but stranger things have happened.

Their English may not be so good but their website is very professional. I do not read Mandarin so cannot speak for content.

The website is genuine, but if the e-mail address is not real, then you wouldn't actually be talking with that company

>>

how do you know that the e-mail address is not genuine ?

have you tried and got an "address does not exist" message or do you mena something else?

it is quite normal for businesses in asia and the orient to use yahoo and other personal web based email addresses. (i even know of one multinational company which has had difficulty getting its asia based staff to stop quoting their peraonal e-mail addresses on the company's business cards).

by the way, this kind of scatter-gun approach touting for sales agencies is also quite normal.

and the english is in fact excellent for china.

I take it that you\'re not familiar with the word \"if\" then ?

If you look there are two email addresses - one at the domain of the company website and an alternative Yahoo one. Not exactly standard practice to include personal email as well but the fact there is an email address within the domain looks fine to me...
