Is This Too Good To Be True?

I'm just sorry it never rang SCAM enough the first time I looked at this for the original poster

I think someone mentioned that the landline number is out of service, or redirected or something.

He previously gave a different number, 01895770071, which is redirected (possibly to a mobile phone).

I just wanted to say we bought our pram from a proper shop today! Its Begeesonline but they have a shop too. we decided to go and pick it up(hour and half journey there!) as we were worried about being scammed again but just wanted to say they were lovely trustworthy people. They were very helpful and you can ring them with any queries aswell as purchasing online. They are selling the ultima 8 in 1 for £495. Its hard not knowing if you are going to get your money but you have to have a pram! Less presents for friends at Christmas!
He said he reported this ebay scammer a couple of weeks ago but ebay did nothing! I'm starting to wonder about ebay! Maybe we should sue ebay as I've now heard of 3 or 4 people who reported this as a dodgy site and nothing was done.

Hi, I too have been 'had' by this fraudster via ebay. I feel like such a mug.
I have now ordered my xlr through mothercare, just wish I had done it in the first place, I kept emailing him as I doubted him and even took time to email others that had cancelled their orders and I wanted to know why and I was warned by one that replied and I still did not listen- why oh why!
Its good to know that there are others not willing to let this drop.

I think the websites gone!!! I just went to check it and nothings coming up!! I have a copy of all the web site pages. I copied it yesterday by doing print screen. Glad I did! Does this mean someone is doing something positive or are they removing evidence?

Its back on now. That was weird. I'm going to look closley to see if anythings changed!
No it looks the same as before. Thought something positive was happening then!!

fishingcinema I would be very wary of this site. I have no idea if they are legit or not but my gut instinct says not. I find it hard to believe that Maclaren and Mamas and Papas would give accounts to someone operating from a house. Also, a giveaway to me is on their home page it says 'Maclaren Authorized online dealer" The american spelling stands out a mile to me and looks like they have copied it straight from a US website. Also the Mamas & Papas info is straight off their site. The colours of some of the Maclarens are not even current. Usually if an offer is too good to be true, it usually is! I might be totally wrong but they look iffy to me. Also only an email address and a fax number on the contact us. Hope that helps.

I am not here to say I told you so because that would help nobody but on the first page of this thread I posted this and then the following below. I noticed that it was pretty much ignored and some people then went on in a rather jokey way saying - oh well if it doesn't turn up, we'll get our money back. I can't offer any more advice than has already been given, but sometimes why not read the replies and maybe do some enquiries first!

I can assure you that Maclaren are not selling to this company. This is not last year's stock and some of the text looks like it comes from websites in the US. There is no way they can sell at these prices and be genuine. I would strongly advise you don't buy from them.
