I looked at the site and on the "About Us" page, they said they were Canon U.S.A. That's obviously not true. As Rick said RUN AWAY!!!

At the top of the image you posted, you can see the URL for the site. Here is the "whois" info.

Another clue is what business gives 80% off on things like this AND the fact that the numbers shown do not reflect 80%.  🤣 

I guess they are hoping potential buyers are as horrible at math as they are.

For the record, Canon South Africa's web address is https://canon.co.za so yeah, this is questionable at best.
