    Gearbest website is being blocked - a little off-topic

    I have many times bought zigbee devices from Gearbest (www.gearbest.com). In fact, I have an order on the way. I wanted to go to the site today to buy some more zigbee devices, but MalwareBytes is aggessively blocking the site: "Website blocked due to fraud." I even tried to bypass this warning, but still got blocked. Anyone else having this issue with Gearbest?

    No issues getting to Gearbest from here in the midwest via Ubuntu / Firefox / PFSense / Adblock Plus / Ghostery.

            Must be an issue with firewall/malware software that you are using as I also used Chrome on Windows.

              As OP said, MalwareBytes is blocking it. Do you use MalwareBytes?
