If something looks too good to be true it probably is. See the following website. http://www.electronics-powersale.com/ Deals look amazing. Then see this thread. Come to your own conclusions but I won't be touching it with a barge pole. Western union money transfers as only payment method?…

WTF? Why is this in Bargain Alerts?

Possibly suited to Online Buying / Auctions... possibly.

Copied directly from this site at point of payment:

"Your IP, [removed] was logged for any fraudulous order attempts"

"Please write down this code, you will need it when sending the confirmation payment."

"Personal details (the person from witch the wire transfer will arrive) :"

Confirmation payment? Fraudulous indeed.... I smell a "witch"!

Hmmm... let's see...

1. No contact address or phone number listed on site
2. Q) Why are your prices so low!? A) We have a special agreement with the airport police to sell all products confiscated in illegal transports in the European Union. - Pull my other one!!
3. Q) Why is there a minimum order!? A) The minimum order of $699 is due to the FREE SHIPPING service that we offer. Translated: [so that re can steal in batches of $699 and above]
4. Q) Can I request a product that's not your site!? A) For all top BRANDS, like PANASONIC, NOKIA, SAMSUNG, PIONEER, MAC, CANNON... we can e-mail you an offer in within 24-48 hours about the specific product you are looking for. [After we've called our friends the airport police to check on stock levels]

I find it quite scary that some people will be rushing to their local post office to send these scammers money. This should definitely not be in "Bargain Alerts"
