  • Looks too good to be true to me, payment by Bank transfer only rings alarm bells.
    Linking themselves to Amazon / Apple seems to be an attempt to sound genuine but why would these companies allow an outfit like this to sell their products at half the normal price?

    Choice of payments :
    Bank transfer
    In bank transfer
    Money transfer
    WHOOOOSHHHHHHHHH……..
    Blimey what was that ?
    That was your life mate
    Oh I wasn’t quite ready can I have another go ?
    Sorry mate only one per person.

    There is also no address or contact tel number or anything.

    It just looks to dodgey!

    On the right hand side of the page there is an image for 'Internet Shopping Is Safe', If this was a genuinely approved website then it would be a clickable link, that takes you to the IMRG website,I have searched their database and this company isn't listed as a recognised trader so I think it we can all take it as read that they are not a genuine company who can be trusted.

    I was going to report this, but I can't see any way of doing so on the IMRG website, unless you have to subscribe first.

    If you want more information about this scheme have a look here: http://www.imrg.org/8025696F004581B3/pages/imrg+Resources

    if you look it is also a 'new' user profile...coincidence??? i think not! i saw the shop on my travels yesterday, will look to see how to contact amazon.
  • I agree it looks WELL DODGY.I see that you cannot click on any of their logos along the top except the amazon link.I would be very wary about doing any bank transfers with these guys.The goods are 1/2 price (well the sony lcd is )and there is no way they could sell at these prices.
    Unless as always we have a happy customer here who has recieved thier goods?
    Onwards and Upwards ;)

    Must agree the website looks a bit iffy
  • Moonfruit.com's business with self-build websites has genuinely been around since about 1998 though, I recall doing a competitive analysis on them when I was working for a company with similar idea.
