is this xmas sale too good to be true?

Options
Hello everyone,
I've been looking for a good deal on a PS4 as we're starting to find game support for our PS3 is dwindling and i found what seems like an amazing sale price. But......
I'm worried as the vendor is asking for BACS payments through Faster Pay. It looks like Faster pay does afford some buying security but i'm not confident. The vendor is offering some sort of buyer security though it's insurance but details aren't offered on the website. The company looks like its only a few months old and i havn't been able to find any reviews.
What do people think?
Would appreciate any opinions or knowledge on this.
not sure if i can say but the website is Yooli shop

    Bank transfers are not secure. You will be lucky if you see anything for your money. Just do not do it.

    I would do some research on the company.

    Do they have a landline phone number and an address listed? Do these exist? Phone the number and check it out.

    Sounds dodgy to me!

    At first glance it does look okay but BACS payments only and prices that look far too good to be true are two reasons to avoid it.

    They are a tinpot company with tinpot T&C. I would not be dealing with them, let alone (if stupid and tempted) pay by bank transfer.

    It is a bargain for a reason.

    I would question how a company just 5 months old operating from a warehouse unit can afford to offer such discounts on products.

    And their payment methods scream dodgy.

    I would phone them up and speak to Paul Webb the company director.
