YES! that was one of the first things I noticed and also the company address is a .net and not a .com however if you go to http://www.neubauhaus.com/ it looks to be some German website? So maybe that is why they registered a .net instead of the .com but still that just seems a little weird to me and the fact that their website doesn't have a professional feel to it at least not to me.

I don't like the way you have to scroll all the way across the page to see all of the info. I even tried looking at the page in both IE and Firefox just to make sure it wasn't a problem with one of the browsers. The whole thing just feels like it was was sorta rushed to me. Creating just a huge image with all of the info instead of putting time and effort into actually designing a more readable, better looking website.

EDIT:
And also just because his IP shows up in CA doesn't mean he is physically in CA that just means his ISP is in CA or either he is using a proxy server to spoof his address. Sometimes my IP address shows up as West Virgina because my ISP is based out of West Virgina and by using a proxy server I can have my IP address to show as being from Japan or anywhere else in the world I want very easily. I have even had some websites detect my IP as being from Texas without even spoofing it so the IP location isn't always a sure thing.

Maybe we are just looking too much into all of this but you can never be too sure these days. I gave him my PO Box address I don't think I would have given him my physical address if I hadn't had a PO. Even though, if he was a murderer I don't think even a murderer would step foot in eastern Kentucky lol

EDIT2:

I just pinged their website and got the IP address of 211.13.204.3 after I ran a whois on that IP I got the following data:
