Hia folks,
I've been on the hunt for a 46" panasonic 3D tv and came across the site above. It has the tv for £200 cheaper than anywhere else but something doesn't file right, everything they sell seems to be cheaper than anyone else I've found and they are selling high value items like ps3s etc.
I wouldn't normally ask, but the price is good, Google maps is showing a strange address (looks like a college) on the address you've provided, and the site is based on free template ecommerce package that anyone could set it - also when I ping your URL it reckons you are in Dallas, USA or something - I'm not saying it is, but the whole thing stinks of a scam and I'm very nervous.
Anyone used them or Have any further info on them?
Thanks
J

Ps. I tried to bluff them by saying I wasn't comfortable soncould I collect and pay cash, and also asked for a photo of the actual tv and they said...
We currently have 4 in stock, unfortunately there is no way I send you a photo as we don’t keep stock here in the office, All stock is warehoused and distributed by distribution company based in the midlands.
Unfortunately, because we use a distribution company for all warehousing and deliveries they hold all stock, so you won’t be able to come and collect from our office. We also don’t handle cash payments for safety reasons, so all payments must be made online through our website.0 -
"The registered company was setup last year, and this website was launched this year. The prices we are currently running are low because we are doing a promotion to promote our site. The ecommerce platform is hosted by a company called Big commerce which is paid for subscription service. The reason why you’re getting Dallas USA when you ping is because that’s where Bigcommerce’s servers are based. Our address is 72 Cariocca Businesses Park, 2 Sawley Road, Manchester, England, M40 8BB, which should show as a Business Park not a college on Google Maps. But if you still feel uncomfortable making a purchase at this point in time, please feel free to come back and have a look at us in the future once we have become a bit more established on line. Thank You."0

Hehehe never fails to amaze me that people fall for these ... their site doesn't even work right now. At best this is a drop shipper who bought an ebook from Ebay about how to make millions selling stuff as a drop shipper.
Good luck to any mug that tries to buy from these people.
Never trust information given by strangers on internet forums0 -
