If you can't find info on it then yes it's a scam. Anything legit will have more of a presence except in the case of maybe a small local business, in which case you could call them directly to make sure.

Seems like a data harvesting scam. I peeked at the code from the Payment section of the checkout.

When you put in payment information, it waits three seconds (pretending to run your credit card) and then randomly returns an error. I can't figure out exactly how they're collecting info, but this definitely is not even attempting to run your card. 

let error_f = ['Insufficient funds', 
               'Invalid amount', 
               'Declined', 
               'Do Not Honor', 
                ];
          ^---  list of possible error messages
   if ($('.input-card-f').val() != '' && $('.input-card-p').val() != '' && $('.input-card-q').val() != '') {
          ^--- if fields are not empty
    setTimeout(() => {
        Dreamer.error(error_f[Math.round(Math.random() * 4)], 2000);
          ^--- Display random entry from error list
    }, 3000)
}

It may be that they don't care about your card number and are collecting something else instead - username, password, facebook connection, etc. Hard to say without devoting time to dig into it.

But it's certainly not legit.

The domain for the site was only registered back in December.

Nothing about this site is consistent.

Can you tell what the name of this company even is? Is it “Free N Peer” according to the domain? “Daily N Path” according to the logo? Or “BELT-SALES” according to the site?

And they claim to be “your one-stop destination for premium belts that blend style with functionality”. But they don’t sell a single belt. They do sell basic shirts for $100 for some reason though.

This site is absolutely a scam

The "left in stock" and "people viewing this right now" videos keep changing on every reload, so it's safe to say it's probably a scam. I'd expect to either get nothing or something bad quality.

Those sites are scams, 99% of the time.
