Not sure if this is this is dodgy!

Options
Going through the usual search engine looking for a particular model of mobile phone for my sons birthday.

The search engine came up with all the usual mobile phone shops

One that caught my eye was called 'Cheapr Shopping' that offered a sustantial discount for this phone

Just wondering if anyone on here had heard of them or used them

Don't want to part with money unless i'm sure this is a safe website!:eek:

    Appear to be based in the US although Germany is also mentioned as a possible server location

    http://www.whois.com/whois/cheaprshopping.com

    Nothing obvious, although the lack of any useful reviews online, combined with the fact it's definitely not a UK site and you can only contact by email means I'd stay clear.

    In short, probably not fake but definitely not worth the risk!

    Stay clear. They don't even know how to spell "cheaper"!
  • If it's cheaper than everywhere else you know to be genuine, then there's got to be something wrong.

  • I wouldn't use them because I can't find any contact details on their website (ie email, phone no. or address)

    Run away - if anyone is significantly undercutting, it is likely to be dodgy. At best the goods would need to be sent overseas for warranty repairs if any were applicable at all, and anyway you would be ineligible for UK consumer protection. No phone number etc is as loud as a klaxon!!

    It could be ok, but then again if anything is too good and all that. stay clear and use a reliable site.
