I found this post http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/forums/hardware/21276-sale-apple-macbook-pro-ma611ll-notebook-600usd.html
and wondered if anyone had experience of dealing with them? They are based in UK but are selling electronic products to US.

The iphone (top of the list) in particular seems cheap at $240 for a 8GB iphone.

The phone number is odd - 447024074412 is that one of those expensive "personal phone nos"?

    Why would anyone buy anything off a forum spam(mer)?

    What's odd about it? It's just a mobile number, as almost all 07x numbers are. Just another reason to stay well clear if they don't provide a fixed landline number.

    It appears that 070 numbers specifically are network independant so it forwards to a mobile number (advantageous in changing networks, but can still give out the same number to everyone, even if your actual mobile number changes). To me that's even worse in terms of business anonymity.
