webelectronix.com anyone?

PowerHouseDan

was onto their site,unreal cheap laptops and computers and they cover the shippings?anyone bought stuff from them

Dizz

I'd love to hear from anyone buying from these guys too!

Stephen

I haven't heard of them but those prices are very tempting, i'd like that sony Vaio for 530 euro. Not bleeding edge but bloody nice anyway.

daveyjoe

Yeah I'm very interested too....

"We will also handle the shipping and customs charges for most of the destination countries."
are they suggesting free shipping and no customs? This website sounds a bit too good to be true?

Stephen

This is currently the only payment method available to use on this order.

Bank Transfer or Deposit

*alarm bells start to ring*

PowerHouseDan

was onto them earlyer as part of their promotion shipping is free to everywhere,i think i am goin to place at order for the acer aspire

PowerHouseDan

Dear Sir/Madam,
as its written on our General Info page, we have a special promotion wich will last for 3 weeks. We only accept payments via Bank Wire Transfer (telegraphic transfer)
what actually is telegraphic transfer?

Stephen

I was emailing them too, they say the laptops all ship with international chargers etc... I can see them coming with 2-prong american plugs only though. And I'm still very wary about bank transfers, you have very little protection compared with using a credit card.

Dizz

Keep us informed. They deliver rather quickly for a site in the US - 2-4 days. First impressions - too good to be true.

Stephen

uhoh.

haha sorry i think myself and stephen are lookin up

Stephen

Dodgy dodgy dodgy. I'd run a mile. Especially after googling the other previous names mentioned for this shop, there's a laptop forum slating them.

also :

The layout must be similar, but the store is different. The domain name was
renew-ed that is why it has a recent date .

Regards

Doesn't sound very convincing to me!

Western Union money transfer is a BIG sign of a scam.

PowerHouseDan

ahha ya stephen i emailed them the same thing and got the same reply ha

Dizz

The design is common, is called osCommerce, it is an engine for internet stores and its very common.
so there must be a mistake.
