Check out the video from penguinz0 on this topic, who ordered one for the lolz. The terms and conditions on the website pretty much state that there is no guarantee that the phone will ever be delivered, or how it looks, or what features it will have. Every section reads like it's for a product that's only on sale to scam people, and that there might never be a phone, and no obligation to get the deposit back.
