I got to admit if it was a pure scam why would you send one to Toby? Maybe I'm naive, but I do believe Toby would present a honest review of the product!
I guess I could see a scenario where Toby never receives the product. If I want to still be "skeptical".
I will keep you updated if I receive it or not.

Now the latest comms says they are based in Two Harbours MN. So it was originally NY, then HK now this address. Time will tell.

That's the location of bechmarkapps.com which is the mailbombing toolbox that CORpump is using.
The indoor inflation video was shot in HK, that's quite likely where they are based.

Well, they don’t want to show details because of an secret new part. I would do the same. You won’t ?

Brushless and brushed motors are really nothing special that needs to be kept secret.
But showing photos of a completely different pump with a different motor is a very strange thing in my opinion. And they showed rendered images of 2x brushless motor before. And they give detailed information of how their new pump works, I cannot find it any more, maybe they pulled it? But they had diagrams wirh pressure radients etc. of new pump system. So why now show pictures of an inferior pump? It smells fishy.
Would be easier to believe they switched to brushed motor because of cost.

I'm usually pretty skeptical. This one did not make my red flag go up and I ordered one. What the heck, if it is fake, you got me good. Hoping for the best as well. It would be such a nice product to travel with. Way less bulky. That's really my main reason for getting one.
