    No, but they'er in China so don't forget to factor in import duty, VAT and handling charges. They won't seem so cheap then.

    What happens if you order from them and you need to return it?

    They may well be genuine but there is a risk involved in ordering from them.

    Personally I've only ever ordered low value goods from the far east and only from websites I've heard good things about.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Hmmm, registered just a couple of weeks ago, I'd be very cautious. A few comments here:

    And no way to know till you get it if its a fake, there are plenty of iPod clones. even the touch just looks the same but actually is far from it.
    As previous poster said the site is very new, there are alot of fake shops especially at Christmas out to scam the bargin gift buyers.

    Other posts friends spam emails with the same site. So I would avoid.

    This is the eMail I received from a friend, with his contact details at the end:
    Dear friends:
    how are you doing recently?
    I am willing to give you a big surprise: https://www.ynchenxi.com
    I bought an Apple laptop a week ago from this site. Now, I have been received. This product quality is very good. They also sell mobile phones, television sets, motorcycles and so on. By the way, they are mainly new and existing product sales, they have a lot of good ideas. Now, many companies are promoting their products. Ynchenxi site is also very competitive price. If you need these products, you can look at. This is a good opportunity before Christmas, you should not miss.
    Greetings!
    So it looks as if someone has got into his eMail addresses!
    He is away at the moment but I will have a word with him later.

    Its a fake mail , they either spoofed his email address so you think its from your friend, or he visited a fake email account login page and gave them his username and password.
    I'm sure your friend knows what your name is. or end with Greetings

    It confirms what I read about others in another forum which I mentioned above that the site is sent from fake mails. Total scam . If you and your friends are similarly inclinded to think it was from your friend. Then maybe you email everyone you know to warn them of this kind of mail

  • Somehow this spam got into my hotmail account and has now gone to everyone on my contact list and keeps doing it. I've tried my antivirus and other virus hunters but nothing has worked. (I didn't get it from here btw - I've only just found this mention while trying to find a remedy.) If anyone has any ideas of a solution please let me know.
  • I have also discovered that my email contact list has been hijacked by some unknown company/individual just as reported by EllisT. This is annoying and I would like any ideas on how to stop this fraud as they have been sending email of the website to many, maybe all of my contacts. PLEASE HELP!

    There was an item about this in The Observer a couple of weeks ago.

    Apparently there is a trojan going around on Facebook, initiated by someone who appears to be asking you to be a "Friend".
    When you respond, it downloads a short exe file that scans your hardrive for useful details about you (bank nos., passwords etc.), but also sends back to the perpetrator contact details of your Facebook Friends and email addresses.

    The email then goes out again to your email addresses and also invites the friends on your facebook page to become a friend of the scammer. The number of contacts expands at an alarming rate.

    It's really an ID-Theft fraud. They are looking for ways to steal your identity and are gathering details of possible victims at a rate of knots.

    Moral : Don't open up emails from people you don't know and don't accept so-called-friends on Facebook that you don't know.

    There is was an instance a few months ago where a large amount of Hotmail account details were compromised. A lot of reports of hacked Hotmail accounts are now sufacing. The spammers seem to be logging into your Hotmail account from China and spamming everyone in your address books.

    Change your Hotmail passwords and secret questions ASAP.
