Default Merlin lll HELP

Has anyone used this guy. I found this Merlin lll on Racingjunk.com ad # 587595. I called and he says he's in Canada and is a dealer for Merlin in New York. He said payment is to be made by International Money Order only. I asked about a bank chack or Credit card and he says credit cards must be signed in Canada. So this means no CC orders by phone in Canada????? This makes me a little nervous guys. Has any of my Canadian CF friends heard of this guy?

He had a reason for no COD but I don't recall what it was. I think a call to Merlin/World products to see if he is a dealer is in order. Is there a way to let Racingjunk know about this guy if there is a problem?

When he declined a CC that was a huge red flag. CC taken worldwide w/o problems. I buy on a regular basis from a Canadian company using a CC.
