Scam - Look at how they want you to pay:

" 6- How can I send my payment through Western Union?
Sending a payment through Western Union is very easy, you only need to visit a Western Union office and to send the negotiated amount by filling out the appropriate form where you need to include my data for the transfer of the money. The transferred amount will be converted to the currency of the recieving country automatically.

7- I do not know if there is a Western Union near me. How can i know?
Visit the official site www.westernunion.com, choose your native country, click on the section "Find Agent Location" and fill in the requested information to find a WU close to you."

Also about where they get the items:

"1- Why is the merchandise so "cheap?" What are its origins?
In Europa there are many advantages in the area of electronics. You can enjoy a wide range of options such as the Black Market zones where you can acquire products below the original price table of neighboring countries."
 
Well, it doesnt list anything hardware-wise and look in the title, they are just tyring to get alot of oney for the chassis "Alienware Area51m Extreme Magnesium Alloy Chassis"
 
Holy shit. I can't believe anybody would order anything from a site like that. I bet that kind of stuff happens a lot oversees, though. That site is Bulgarian and they specifically mention the black market on their faq page. It's one thing to buy black market goods off the street, but it's another thing to knowingly order black market stuff from halfway around the world. It's like speeding. Sure, you might get there faster, but if you get pulled over then it will take you longer. You might get a working laptop from these guys, but if you value your money, then it will be worthwhile to buy from a reputable vendor.
 
I wish there was someone we could send those links to and THEY would investigate it. I mean c'mon no way they are selling that stuff at that price. SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I ordered a laptop and paid for express shipping, but i received it after 10 days. The laptop is awesome and the price too, but i can't say the same thing for the shipping service.

--Tony G., San Marino, Italy



They sent me not the Sony Vaio that i ordered. Now I must wait 14 days to replace it and this upset all my plans.
-- Alex M, Ridgecrest, CA



The cell phone that i ordered not work in the United States and i must return it now.

I don't know...it looks like some people actually got their products...but then again it COULD just be the company itself that left those complaints to make it look like they DO send out the product...I dunno...

BTW....this should be in the Hot Deals section...the FS/FT is for the [H] ppl selling and trading stuff...:rolleyes:
 
Here's an idea;

get 10 people to put forward 20 bucks for something relatively 'cheap' but that is still undervalued. I haven't browsed the site, but I'm sure they have something for that price. Order it, and if it comes - either the person who wants the product pays everybody back or sell it on ebay and split proceeds, and then you know if it's a scam or not.

(minimal risk)

I always wanted to know if these things were scams are not.
