    Evening, I was looking at buying a new TV and came across the website www.buyff.com. Has anyone ever used this site as I'm afraid it's not very secure. I'm looking at purchasing a Philips 42pf9813 and they offer it at a great price. Is this one of those scamming sites or is it legit??? :confused:

    Really hope you didn't send them any money by Western Union or bank transfer, it's a scam.

    99.99% sure that this is a scam site. Western Union, Moneygram, Bank transfer, no actual credit card facility, coupled with unbelievably cheap prices and what do you get? All this screams scam.

    Golden rule of Internet shopping - If you have to ask if the site is real it is not :pac:.

    Oh and the fact it is a hotmail address for contact; the payment methods are the once used by scammers world wide and the fact they are offering to ship ridiculous large items such as a bikes and motorcycles is a dead give away of a scam site.

    FAKE.

    You can't pay by credit card. All money orders :D

    It can't be a scam because Li Li bought a bike.:pac:
