Another place to avoid shopping!

[Seraph82]

Just had a friend chirp up about his attempted purchase of something at this website with less than stellar results.

My friend commented that he tried buying something on his credit card, only to have the card declined, then a week later, his provider ringing him up regarding possibly fraudulent transactions.

That is a strange coincidence, I was looking at that site yesterday. They have a new Canon MP-E65 advertised for a silly price. It was their address that raised my suspicions.

It does look a bit suss saying they're a Lancashire firm but all contact details are for London. GoDaddy web hosting doesn't inspire me with confidence either.

If it's been imported through the European importer rather than the UK importer it could still be a grey import

which is why their web site isn't responding - no valid DNS servers.

Good to see GD are on top of things, must be something to do with the big TV push they have on
