I know there have been threads regarding the legitimacy of this business before, and some people have had success, some have had less than stellar results, etc. I just ran across them today while searching for a good deal on shanks for my new keezer build. After doing some digging I noticed some very odd stuff, shenanigans if you will 
, and just wanted to put it out to the forum.
If you Google search "BREW International" you will get a result showing a physical address in Moore, OK. Their number is now an OK area code as well, although it looks like they've had CA and NY area numbers in the past (already shady). See here: https://www.google.com/search?q=brew+international&rlz=1CAACAR_enUS744US748&oq=BREW+INte&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j69i60j0l3.1972j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
That location belongs to a shop named Learn To Brew. You can find their website here: http://www.learntobrew.com/
They also have product photos on their website that are identical to Learn To Brew's photos. So, I don't know if they just straight up stole a location for the purpose of looking legit on Google, AND stole photos from the same website, or if the people at Learn to Brew are also running the BREWInternational website, but either way that's really shady. I ran an image search just to be sure: https://www.google.com/search?tbs=sbi:AMhZZiuOKTtAGNAmnBCv-DMPfs-bQ1w2eUm4EZ26xli0VmaEY3yVmvCWsiyNx6BPIYup-m8UBwqIoPpS0VPKMbv2HAEyxGOSpcXnplGKQaL3m42qoXucLWKHZIoxFBSPFPb15kj-PMrjmA4Q1zOo_1acwsPDMAKwTUyqMGcv-8xVsqs7fLXzi0N7DvkBOVnIzW_1M2KsizP8rwzkF53pM_1QJ3dYRNsCHzejvH_17RHltMISAL-Jd1nX5Edu4rNefXmemmcGDbA1drVmvvHVp4wRMKB56Uo2f0aNFQDPeam8neEcYm66ZnjeQaKURDsUGPlBDnGqlhsJdOVqVISC5O-z9DdFSfjZFNu3BA
Like I said, I know there are a handful of positive reviews out there, but it seems to me like this place is shady enough to stay away from regardless. Even if it means paying another $10 per stainless steel shank.
Thoughts?
