I usually follow my instinct that if something sounds too good to be true it usually is, I was wondering if anyone had heard of this company and if they know for a fact that it is a scam?

I did say that I was dubious as I could'nt really check their credential and also what payment would they accept and they replied

What's a money gram or western union payment? is it protected?

Many thanks if you can shed some light on whether it really is a good deal or just another scam.
I cannot find the original post on here, so not sure if it was removed maybe?

Complete and utter scam, they appear on here every day, get reported and get deleted.

Moneygram and Western Union are cash transfer companies, and this is the least safest way you can deal with anyone. You pay the money in at one end, and the scam artists withdraw it at the other end, and the company takes a fee. You can send Moneygram through the Post Office but it doesn't necessarily mean it's a safe way of paying for something. Steer clear of any company that only asks for this type of payment.

Also, if they are a UK company, based in and 'shipping' from the UK, why do they price everything in dollars? Answer; because they think we're all !!!!!!! stupid.
