    Hey,
    I came across a website (link below) which claims to sell, amongst other things, cheap iphones which are 100% authentic and come with standard international warranties. Of course this seemed too good to be true so I emailed and asked if the products were copies and was informed: "We sell only brand new mobile phones and not the Chinese replicas. All our iphones comes with 12 months international warranty plus complete accessories". I'm still a bit skeptical about it all.....

    Has anyone here had any dealings with them? Thanks.

    Prices too good to be true, hotmail e-mail address, prices in dollars for a UK based store. Oh, and if you Google Maps the address, it is for "Predator Motorsport", whatever that is.

    Sounds re-assuring? :D

    Run, run a mile.

    The company noted here is real but their identity is being used by nothing more than a scammer.

    The real company are a manufacturer of electronic components and not sales or distribution of major electronic items.

    This is a typical forum spammer format.

    THE OFFER IS NOT REAL -- WALK AWAY

    very odd domain to be hosted on.
    its a legit microsoft hosting platform, but they're using it for storage, so it won't show up as suspect

    Thanks for the replies. I guessed that these guys were out to scam people but said I'd ask the question. Thanks again.
