Anyone have experience with them? I called them and they are a asian business, now with a office located in London near redbus. Serieusly this looks pretty suspicious. |

Yup, too good to be true. You can't click on the VeriSign thing at the bottom, which is never a good sign.

maybe they specialize in stealing huge containers at the docking stations in korea and resell the stuff inside.

If their business is based on stealing, why wouldnt they steal your money and not send you anything?

maybe they do but we just dont know about it yet...i dont think the reviews are actually from their customers since some of them were referring to apples educational discount, then again other feedback seemed legit.
should i find and buy the cheapest thing on the site..... if they are stolen would i get sent to prison for buying anything? they could be fakes |

They seem to have stolen the entire website format and reviews from Tiger Direct- some of the reviews even say TD in them!

Thanks people, now I am really sure it is fake. Besides if you go the the "secure" checkout there is still a http connection instead of a secure http connection.

The biggest problem with the site. that to me indicates a fake, is how much they "oversell" themselves... The live "web cams" of their office?!? Come on! That just screams of trying to make themselves look legit when in fact they aren't.
Shame... those were good prices. Actually this should be a give away too: International Customers Western Union Money Transfer (http://westernunion.com) MobiTeh.co.uk currently ONLY accepts international payment via Western Union. International credit cards and checks are not accepted. Ahh western union.. the choice scammers world wide. |

I was on the site and was going to buy a canon eos 350d for €366, all i saw was the bargain. Luckily for me i dont have a credit card, so they asked for western union money transfer. But as soon as i clicked on the western union option, they gave me my confirmation details. Which made me a bit suspicious. So i did a bit of research and they used to go by the name dexdigital or something, it is a complete scam, utter and complete scam. If you have given them any money it is gone. Spread the word. |
