Decidedly dodgy. Domain buygreendot.com was only registered on 7th October 2009. I can find few mentions of them when I google, other than questions similar to yours. Not worth the risk in my opinion.

sounds like dodgy site from this forum entry I found

I can't post links because I'm new to the site but check the ephotozine site forums for thread -76586

someone tried to call their contact details and ended up talking to a lady in dartmouth or something like that, the company is actually registered in the US and proxied to the UK.

BuyGreenDot's 'About' page says they're an online UK registered company since 2005, but their website domain was only registered on 7-Oct-2009, and to an anonymous US proxy with no UK contact.

Checking Companies House, there is no registered company with that name, the only two similar named companies are non-trading and dormant.

It doesn't add up so be careful.

Hello. Just registered to add my concern.

I have been intrigued by their too good to be true prices. A quick google on some of the sentences on their 'about us' tell me they have ripped off the about us pages from a couple of other legit sites.

i think we can say a 100% that this is a fake site so how do we get it taken down?

i spoke to someone in trading standards today they are aware and doing what they can. if i'd lost money they'd have told me to contact consumerdirect (dot) gov (dot) uk to tell them.

In their T&Cs, BuyGreenDot.com claim to be a trading name of IntecMicrosystems Ltd.
Yesterday (19-Oct-09) I emailed IntecMicro and recieved a reply from one of their Directors confirming that there is no association between them, and that IntecMicro are trying to stop BuyGreenDot from advertising that there is.

From Bexley Council website: sorry, can't post link as new user...

Warning from Trading Standards - bogus website

Bexley Trading Standards Team is warning residents about a bogus website allegedly located in Crayford that offers low-priced electrical equipment and accessories.

buygreendot claims to be based in Bourne Road Crayford but the address is false and the telephone number given is in fact a local private residence.

The appropriate authorities have been alerted but, in the meantime, Trading Standards' advice is not to place any orders on the website and don't give your credit or debit card details.

If you have already paid for goods, you should report the matter to Consumer Direct - the government telephone and online advice service - at consumerdirect.gov by telephoning 08454 04 05 06. If you paid by credit or debit card, you should notify the card issuer as soon as possible.

The information gathered by Consumer Direct will be treated in confidence but will help with subsequent investigations by Trading Standards and other enforcement agencies.

It's hosted by GoDaddy (they both own the domain and host the website). Given sufficient evidence that it's an illegal scam they'll take it down.

Could Google and alike remove/block the add/domain so the result would be "no exposure". I must be missing something?:money::beer:
