I checked out the website that you were scammed from, and its obvious even from the home page that they are scammers. NEVER deal with websites that look tacky and home made, unless you have proof that they are genuine.
You will find that you will have to buy from asia to get a good deal.
I suggest you head towards what ever interests you best, as then you will know if its a good deal or not. People are posting good suppliers all over the forum just look around a bit, do some research and then you get the rewards
