Is precision coin grading reliable company?

I bought some of these coins and initially left favorable feedback - I now know that I was ripped off. "Precision Coin Grading" (www.precisioncoingrading.com) is operated from the same Sydney, NSW address as the main eBay seller of these coins - I checked the domain registration details of the company and it was the same as the return address of where I received the coins from. It is essentially a con - many of the coins appear to be cleaned, polished or simply over graded. The seller claims not to have graded the coins himself, but why are the coins coming from the address of the grading company? Other collectors are onto this - see http://coinauctionshelp.com/Coin_Help_Blog/2009/11/03/new-grading-services-at-ebay-warning-pcgmgc/ as an example.
