Is this a scam website? (one touch arena)

debs82

I know the saying... if something is too good to be true then it probably is. I'm pretty savvy in terms of on line shopping and would like to think that I wouldn't be easily fooled. But I also don't want to miss out on an opportunity... what do you guys think? Anyone heard of them or bought from them?

I'm a newbie so can't post a link, but it's...

onetoucharena . com

I'm currently in the process of moving house and need to replace nearly all of my appliances and electricals so when I came across the website it seemed great. Can't find any reviews though :think:

It mentions something in "about us" about being offshore and being able to sell things tax free. I don't really understand this part - any thoughts??

They offer extended warranties, and i've went through the whole process up to the confirmation of order page so i've seen delivery options (DHL Fedex etc) and all seems pretty genuine.

I was also thinking, that if I do take the risk I could buy with credit card for extra protection?

Argh can't decide... can anyone HELP!?

Thanks in advance

Ah thanks for that. Thought as much.

Anyone else tried to buy anything from there? What was the result?

Their Panasonic TVs are ridiculously cheap. Warning bells methinks.

All seems dodgy enough - using .com but based in france yet claiming to be offshore. If it was really offshore you'd face import taxes.
Also if you go through with an order they don't have a payment system, they send you an email - I made one up.
I'd wager £100 to 1p that the email reply gives you a bank account that you can send a payment to, which will result in you receiving no goods and losing your money.

Obviously a scam.

I'm sure someone will say it's worth a try and rely on a credit card for their inevitable refund but why even bother?

Ahh thanks guys. Yeah sophisticated scam but a scam none the less it seems. Thanks very much and I'll not be taking the risk!

I have just placed an order for a series 8 Samsung smart TV as someone else has already said "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is" I received an email saying I should print off the voucher that they emailed, take it to any pay point to be scanned and pay the money.

I started to get bad vibes as the TV was around £800 less than the best price currently on offer, also no contact telephone number, in my opinion it is a scam and dealing with this site should be avoided at all costs. Thank god I didn't give them any card details.

Too true about things being too good. Worrying thing though is I came across this site through Google Shopping. I know loads of ebayers come through that way too but at least you know how reputable they are.
