While searching on the internet, i found another 'cheap' site registered as Dontilo.com, these are offering cameras at very cheap prices, but with no reviews on google shopping, when reading the contact us, the address is in surrey, but they say they have been trading in west yorkshire for the last 20 years. It mentioned saying 'here at yorkshire cameras' so i googled this and it came up as a fraudlant website and the testimonials on dontilo are copied from martins camera shop...so could be the same person having another go.. BEWARE as there is no info on here or on google with reviews or picking this up

Yes it's definitely a fraudulent website.

When I set up an account using fake details it first of all claimed that it didn't recognise my (false) credit card number but when I opted to pay by money transfer instead it congratulated me on my purchase even though I hadn't entered any further details.

Anyway the Domain Registration has a Lithuanian address on it and virtually everything that comes out of that country reeks of criminality.

Thank you! I was seconds away from getting caught out here.

Massive thank you to the original poster!

It is 100% bogus. I know because they are using my address for their contact details. I've reported it to the police and to Action Fraud and both say I cannot report the site for fraud as I have not lost out financially. So please, if you have purchased anything from this site, contact your local police station and report it so it can be closed down before it cheats any one else.

Thank goodness 'too good to be true' hit me. I googled their name and found this thread. There should be some way to make their name pull up a skull and crossbones or somehting.

Anyway, thanks for saving me a load of hassle or worse.:j

Google saves me. I was just pondering ordering a lens from the sit that was £300 cheaper then even the most discounted price (£1250 on a £2000 lens on offer somewhere for £1600). Thought it may be to good to be true and they have no rating. Thanks guys

Thanks guys, just saved me too. It looks so very legit. But the old "if it's too good to be true". Ah well...

Just saved me as well guys thanks! The is a very professional looking site I would never have known and I consider myself very computer literate being a software developer :S

I should note that I was linked there by google shopping originally but the listing has since stopped appearing
