A little research and BAM!

Payment Method

IMAGE NOT FOUND
Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE
This is currently the only payment method available to use on this order.
(DUPLICATE IMAGE)
(DUPLICATE IMAGE)
(DUPLICATE IMAGE)
Western Union Wired Payment
(DUPLICATE IMAGE)

Visit a local Western Union agency (find nearest location)

Fill out the necessary "Send Money" form, ask agent if you need assistance

They will require a valid ID

It is recommended to pay with Cash
(using a credit/debit card, the fee could be more expensive).

Send the amount of the total shown above in US dollars

Western Union will charge you a money transfer fee

Using either method, the entire amount must be wired to our accountant.

Once your order is submitted, our accountant details will be emailed to you.

Bad bad bad bad idea....

never pay with western union... same thing goes for ebay :) western union cannot be traced and is most dangerouse way of paying anyone :)

recently someone was scamming 2100$ laptop for 300$ :D and he asked me to pay via western union, than I told him I would go with escrow.com and he generated exact escrow.com ticket from a fishy domain, something like europe-escrow-com.net :D :D what a lame scammer :D

OMG!

That site must be a Gimmick, or one of those places where your item is NEVER in stock, and you paid like 6 months ago. They also have 19" samsung syncmaster flat panels for $86.00... and FREE SHIPPING! not to mention the apple Cinema 23" monitor for roughly $400.

One caution for me is the $501 minimum order. I'd give them a try on 80 bucks, and risk losing, but probably not on 500 dollars.

Good luck, if you give it a shot. They seem legitimate, but anyone can build a website.

The "news section" of the site said that credit card orders are going to be available on 9-25-2006.


They are in minneapolis, MN ... is there anyone close that can go see the "warehouse"?

Scam...

30gb IPOD videos are only $124.00

Apple has strict policies for price control of their products.

The address for the London office traces back to these people who offer a virtual office service so i think it is a big scam http://www.london-office.co.uk/ (external link) should be a law against this. Bring back hanging :evil:

There really ought to be a way to turn these people into local law enforcement and get some action. Unfortunately, most authorities don't treat internet scams like this as a real crime.
