Is BrothersInvest.com a scam?
I really would like to buy some products from that website. They sell designers for a lot cheaper than they go on the market for. Is it a legit and safe website to purchase from? I'd like to know if you bought any products from them also. I've heard people talking about it being a website they would shop on. How do they profit with the merchandise being so cheap? Do they make money from google ads or something?

Yep, it's a scam site.
They make money by taking people's money and never delivering the product.
It's easy to spot - They list Western Union as their preferred method of payment. Only thieves and scam artists do that.
NEVER, EVER buy online from anyone who suggests you send them an online money transfer, money order or cashiers check.
E-Bay banned this kind of payment options years ago because of all the scams and abuse. A money order is a cheque that anyone who has the password can cash. Once you give someone the money order information, they just go and cash it. If you complain to the bank or provider that someone didn't send you what they promised, they will shrug their shoulders and say "But you gave them the Money order password. That's not our fault." Same thing with money transfers. They companies that will do that for you, assume you know and trust the people. They don't care if you'd been promised a product - that's not their concern so they won't protect you if your stuff never shows up.
This is what Western Union says about their service:
The Western Union Money TransferSM service is a great way to send money to people you know and trust. If you need to send money to someone you don’t know well, you may be putting yourself at risk for fraud.
Because we care about consumers, Western Union urges you to protect yourself from fraud by considering the following:
Never send money to a stranger using a money transfer service.
Beware of deals or opportunities that seem too good to be true.
Don’t use money transfer services to pay for things like online purchases.
Never send money to pay for taxes or fees on foreign lottery winnings.
The other thing that just makes their scam more obvious is that they say they have PayPal, but they don't offer any proof of having a valid, paypal with a good reputation. Providing a link the PayPal account they have would be easy, but they don't do that.
When something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
