Warning! Dodgy looking Website

Jnelhams

Have seen brand new Dyson DC33 for £86 on a website called www.oneclickmultimedia.net - It appears to have been set up earlier this month, claims to be offshore and gives contact addresses in Cyprus, Belfast and Canada.

With a little digging I've discovered the address in Belfast, connects it to other websites called:

www.bhsdirect.net

www.buyitplayit.org

www.buyitplayit.eu

www.microglobe.eu - so is looking like
a possible scam. Take care!

There's nothing wrong with Microglobe.co.uk. They are a reputable and trustworthy merchant. Your link to them is entirely misleading and possibly defamatory. Please remove it from your post.

What these scammers are doing is to register websites with very similar names to reputable websites. The addresses used are either virtual offices or don't exist. The only payment method is by Evoucher which is non-traceable. Once payments are made customers are then told that satisfactory forms of identification such as driving license or passport with a close-up of the photographs must be sent to them. Therefore identity theft. There's plenty more about the criminals on this thread:

In fact you're completely daft to provide links to ANY of the websites.

Microglobe.co.uk gives it's business name as Microglobe Photo Equipments Limited - And it would appear these other sites have now removed the details that associated themselves to Microglobe.co.uk and some are now offline, but as always check the contact details when ordering from unknown sellers, and use Google Maps to see if the place is what it should be and not as in the case of Oneclick an unfinished office block.

So it would appear Microglobe.co.uk is a legitimate seller dealing mainly in "grey imports".

I would hardly call it "daft" to warn people, at least then you can see how the various sites are clones and link into one another.

Daft would be not telling people.

If you take the www out of those links then nobody can link to them can they?

I'd like to bring people's attention to another pair of sites that seem to follow the pattern of the buyitplay it scam sites and oneclickmultimedia.net mentioned above: These are dojoboutique.net and dojoboutique.com.

DojoBoutique claims to be an offshore tax free corporation which sells cheap electronic goods. It has mailing addresses in Belfast and Canada and a Cyprus office. It asks you to pay by e-voucher. What's more, the screen which explains how to pay by e-voucher is /exactly/ the same as that on buyitplayit.eu, including the same typo. In short it looks exactly like the fake buyitplayit sites (.org and .eu) under a different name.

You have been warned!

The first 3 links dont even work now.

The 4th one is a kind if blog site and the Microglobe is legit, just not a good looking site.

Cheers for that. It's the same crooks.

I've put warnings on Web of Trust although, no doubt, people will still get ripped off.

to the relevant authorities, I have no idea if any one will react to close these spam/fraud websites, but I know the perpetrators of these sites will, as their in-box will be "rather" full to the realisation that they can not fool a moneysaving expert!!!!!!!

Regards to all on this fantastic website, first to recognise a scam I was "almost sucked into"

You guys are great!!!
