Hello,
This site is just an affiliate program from amazon. It is not related to
amazon in any way.
Anyone can join the affiliate program of amazon and make money from it.
Many people who join this program are blog owners or people who like making
reviews of products.
Once you join this program, you can choose any item on the amazon website
and it will give you a special link for this item (with image if you want).
You write a blog post about this item and put the link on your blog. Anyone
who clicks on this link will give the link owner a small percentage of the
item that the buyer purchased. This item may not necessarily be the one
that the link points to.
If someone clicks on the link, any item that he purchase within 24 hours
will be valid.
Since Amazon does not deliver to Mauritius, maybe they are acting like the
middle man for the purchase.
They just seem to be querying the amazon database via the amazon api and
displaying the products on their website.
Ebay has also a similar affiliate program but it's much more difficult to
enter as you need a website with high traffic.
Just by going to the website and not seeing https was enough to know that
this website is not legit.
Regards
Yuv
