Bad spelling, non-UK web address, non-existent address, a yahoo email address. Unrealistic prices. How gullible would someone have to be to order anything from that site? (OP - that was not a dig at you by the way)
.tl is Indonesia by the way. |

Can someone call them see what they say? I am in Manila Philippines and it will cost me a fortune, I have googled the address but cant find any bad results...still not going to send my cash though. |

The web domain is Indonesian but the company claim to be in Birmingham (aren't they always?)
All prices are in Dollars, there's no phone number and payment is only via Western Union. The sheer neck of whoever's behind it makes me chuckle! |

Here's another pointer - if you click on the images on that site you get taken to the webpage that he stole them from! Nice work!

It's this reason (and the fact that they begin 07 and therefore look like a UK mobile number to the untrained eye) which attracts overseas scammers. |

Heh heh I'm actually in contact with the 'owner' of that site, he calls himself 'Kingsley James'. I've pretended to be interested in buying a phone but objected to him being from Birmingham, not being homosexual, being over 5'5", having short hair and just about anything else I can trick him in to admitting. It's a Nigerian scam and you can find loads of ways to wind them up and annoy them at www.419eater.com.

Nice site iRuss, i'm going to have some fun with that!
Thing is, that 419eater site 'depends' on us for support, and provides a paypal link - so is THAT site a 'scam' too? haha! |

I use mywot.com as a free website checker for browsing.
You can use the home-page, or downoad an integrated toolbar for IE. If I was to buy anthing from an unknown company I would also do further checks/Googles. But I tend to stick to big known trusted companies eg amazon. |
