Ever heard of this website?

[Deleted User]

I was hunting around for a new iPhone 4s, and came across a website called extrabuy.co.uk. Doing a internic search came up with an address in Wales, but the website is actually based in the Ukraine.

Its got a deal for a new 64gb white one for £439, which is a good price, but I am a tad suspicious. It also has a verisign seal but the web page isn't secured.

Anyone heard of these people or dealt with them? Is it legit or should I take a wide berth? And as if its not odd enough, there's only 3 ways of paying, one via bank transfer, one by ukash and the other by a paysafecard. No credit or debit card facilities. Just want to be sure before I part with any money.

This, is a perfectly clear sign of scam.

Definitely a scam, Apple use very strict rules with regard to selling prices, I'm sure that price is probably under the cost price Apple charge their retailers for the 64gb version.

Other obvoius pointers to a scam:
1) No address on the contact page.
2) No email address on the contact page.
3) No phone number on the contact page.
4) No company details on the T&Cs page.
5) Return policy includes a 5% restocking fee - Illegal under DSR.
6) Prices that are too cheap.

As everybody on here as said stay way clear from that site

When there's No address form a company it should ring alarm bells

all proper company's put a address and telephone number and email on there sites that's the first thing to check

also come up as unknown Denmark on my IP Address bar.

Why even consider it if you feel the need to post here?

Whilst I agree that it has every hallmark of being a scam, the answer to your question above is in the question that the OP posted.

"Anyone heard of these people or dealt with them? "

Perfectly reasonable question to ask and didn't deserve your reply.

It wasn't by any means a dig at the OP?
Merely an attempt to get them to move on and forget all about it.
The OP's post implies he/she was giving it a 2nd thought?
No biggie. Just basic psychology.
