Hiya

I have found something im interested in buying, at a good price, on a website that I came across yesterday. I have never heard of it, and cant find any kind of reviews for it, so not sure if I should go for it or if it may bite me on the backside like!
What u think. Any of you used them???
Just being cautious, as I normally only buy through well known sites.

The site is http://www.cheapbundledgames.co.uk

    The website design is a copy of CDWow.

    Many of the graphics seem to be taken from the hmv.com website.
    Most of the links don't work and many of the 'add to basket' buttons just take you to a phone number.

    I would avoid if I were you.

    Hi

    This site is defintely a scam it is hosted by one.com the person who owns the site is registered to a denmark address the site basically has no secure ssl certificate the payment page steals credit card details and the owner of the site uses the details to make western union transfers to himself I stupidly tried to make a purchase on this site when it was called gizmo games . co . uk the thief that owns the site keeps on changing the name of the site so be aware and dont be fooled I have reported this site to google in the process of trying to get it removed!!!!!

    Honestly, why buy expensive games for disreputable retailers when there's loads of free stuff online? Or just pop down the road to a reputable retailer and see what they have in stock. Or Amazon? There are so many better options.
