Discount Emporium Limited

I have come across this site.

http://www.discountemporiumltd.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=72&products_id=501

They are offering the Samsung S4 at £439.99 which seems a very good price and probably too good to be true.

Is this a genuine site and a genuine offer and has anyone used this site ?

I have noticed Discount Emporium is also a seller on Amazon for Domestic Applicances.

The company has a fake "mail drop" address on its website.

145-147 ST JOHN STREET LONDON EC1V 4PY

A good sign of being either a Hong Kong dealer or a scammer.

Just noticed this as well, I definitely wouldn't send them my money.

It'a a card payment apparently, hence chargeback protection.

Still wouldn't take the risk, it's just not worth it.

Thank you everyone for the replies, very much appreciated.

Even the company director has 0 bank funds and 0 assets.

Can just imagine the number of fake iphones, fake S4s etc being shipped over in crates flooding the UK market and ending up being sold on online sites.

I certainly wont be sending this company any of my money for a Chinese fake S4, If its too good to be true, it usually is.

Would hate to try and get a refund from this site !

Funny you mention it, I saw a fake S3 today. Almost impossible to tell cosmetically, other than the IMEI coming up as unknown and the storage sizes reporting incorrectly it was virtually impossible to tell them apart.

Even the box was indistinguishable from the real one.

Getting smart these fraudsters, try and save some money and end up spending an extra £400 plus.

i have just placed an order with them for the s4,
they are weird, their account is in malta and the transaction got denied by my bank, i called the bank n told them to let it through which it did ,
no im waiting for the order to be proccessed n dispacted, i give them 3dayz and if i dont c it dispacted and at my door step in 2weeks things will turn ugly, i been promised by my bank it will issue a chargeback incase i dont get the delivery or isnt satisfiyed with what they sent

I just found that site while looking for the Galaxy S4 too.

As far as I'm aware, at the time of writing, the 32GB and 64GB models are not available in the UK and there is no word on when, or if, they ever will be. No other company I've found are even selling them as pre-order. Yet this one claims to have them in stock...

I'm not taking the risk!
