    He's breaking domain registration rules for one. Hardly serious, but it doesn't look good.

    £135 for a wii and 2 games though. Can't be anything but a con.

    The website's really badly put together as well. Wouldn't touch them.

    Once again a bodge of a cut and paste job on their FAQ's. Stay well clear is my advice.

    It's not exactly secret that they're scammers. £65 for a DS Lite... A fool and his money and all that.

    I've said it before but it amazes me that when it comes to online shopping, people seem to completely change their behaviour and common sense. Almost as if the mere existence of a website is somehow a sign of legitimacy. In the past I've equated it to asking "would to buy off a bloke in a pub car park", although it would actually be more like "would you buy off a bloke in a pub car park who promises to bring the item the next day if you meet him there and give him your credit card details". Most sensible people would never do that, but so many do exactly that online.
