tony280 · 20-02-2005, 19:47

but it says we will send you the sim and a cheque

Not had any experiance with these guys, but someone over on another forum ordered one, got charged the £1.99 admin fee and got nothing in return.

I'll see if I can find the post & provide a link.

Sounds like, if you did get it, it would be a cash back offer though.

I suspect there's a contract involved with the company who send the cheque and of course by doing what you mention above you could be in breach of contract or even commiting and act of theft or fraud.

Either way I wouldn't try that if I were you.

As for the offer on the website, it does sound a little too good to be true.

If it was from a known company such as carphonewarehouse then it would be more than likely trustable, but I would definately do some background checking in to the company before you go ahead with this.
