'Extra Buy' - anyone heard of them?

I am looking to buy a new unlocked Samsung Galaxy s2 16gb and have come across a site called 'extra buy' (sorry, as a newbie I cannot include the link, just type 'extra buy' into google and its the top link) that is offering this phone at about £150 cheaper than anywhere else. On the basis that something too good to be true often is, I thought I would see if any of you canny shoppers out there has heard of/had dealings with this company - any offers?
Thanks
Mike

    No UK address or telephone number.
    Website only registered on 06th Jan 12.
    Expensive products advertised at much cheaper prices than anywhere else.
    I'd say avoid like the plague.

    No any address and any phone number actually.
    And the most important and clear sign - payment methods: Bank transfer, Ukash, Paysafecard - one-way tickets for your money :rotfl:

    100% con.
  • Thank you, Tony and grumbler, for your prompt responses, you have confirmed my suspicions, I just hope other people considering buying from these people read your invaluable posts.
