littlewoods sale -70% off

I would be sceptical of this site until someone can confirm it as genuine. Why would a company of that size only accept PayPal when they already have merchant facilities?

The domain name is not listed in quidco so I doubt you will get any cashback, in fact the domain name is registered to an individual which makes it even more suspect. Hosted by 123 somehow I cant imagine littlewoods IT department hosting with them but still.

Yes I have had some more time to look at the site and conclude its a scam but does seem slightly better than the rest I admit.

Its been around a while and i think people have used it, so I think its genuine. here is another of littlwoods clearance site but cheaper and I can guarantee they are 100% genuine as I have been shopping with them for 5 yrs

Just to add they have the same phone number to contact so looking more genuine to me.

Just got this reply from Littlewoods

People are always right to be cautious. However, I can confirm I have been to one of their stores in Ebbw Vale, South Wales. I personally find the discounts they offer are quite poor. Particularly on their electrical goods which are usually quite outdated and old.

The paypal and ebay thing is confusing though, when surely they have the backup of the big Littlewoods company with their own credit card handling facilities.
