Extreme caution cheaprshopping.com

I was looking for a mobile phone, and http://cheaprshopping.com has what it seems the best deal on that phone. However browsing around its webpage, it seems they do not have any contact details, telephone and address and also lack any sort of UK shop number that is used by legitimate online shops. I don't want to accuse them falsely but this website does seem rather dangerous to do business with. I would suggest to stay away, unless there is some proof for the opposite (that they are operating legitimately) Also a simple whois request on the website shows that it is about one month old. http://whois.domaintools.com/cheaprshopping.com http://who.godaddy.com/whoischeck.aspx?domain=CHEAPRSHOPPING.COM Not very reassuring in my experience...

Ebay bizzare listing. Extreme caution advised.Item 270994686877, seller: cobnutwm

I got wind of a 7'' tablet on ebay from HOTUKDeals for under 10 quid. Now I am not against a good deal but, a few minutes after I saw the listing in HUKD the listing disappeared. And within less than 10 minutes from 120 buyers for that deal there were 160 buyers.
I am all in for it, but there are a few bizarre things.
This seller says he is from UK, but the item is shipped from Honk Kong.
He has more than 10 items available, and so far seems to have more than 170.
Has never sold any gadgets before. Only strings and books. And these 2 years ago in 2010...
He has only 116 feedback. Typicaly large volume items are sold by sellers with HUMONGOUS feedback.
No returns accepted. Although in the description says 7 days return accepted. Now why would that be?
Free postage. I mean ok, this must weight about 200-400 grams. How much does this cost to ship nationally and internationally? And is included in the tenner?
On the description itself there are a couple photos missing, as if he copied the listing from someone else.


All in all I will not buy it. Let me know if you receive the items (Honk Kong dispatch 20-30 days) let me know and then I may consider it.


update: Today the listing disappeared even though it had another 5 days to run, which confirms to me that this was a scam. It could be that the person behind the account decided to make a run for the money. Or also quite likely is that this account was hijacked by someone who decided to do this scam, or does this scam for a living. Get someones ebay username and password, change the paypal email to your liking, upload a fradulent listing, reap the earnings straight away to a bank account abroad (nigeria comes to mind) (or perhaps in bitcoins) and instant profit! Its not like people will get very frustrated over loosing 10 quid to make a huge fuss about it. Though agregating 400 tenners makes a healthy 4000 quid (minus ebay and paypal expenses)  (unfortunately the last cached google page with this listing is showing only 75 buyers so cant really know the exact number of the victims). I am quite glad I restrained the urge to buy it.

http://ahappydeal.com/

UPDATE this is not a scam e-shop.


I received my 1.5$ order just fine. Poor product quality, but didnt expect much for 1.5$ with postage...


http://ahappydeal.com/

this website could be a scam or just have a really crappy/dodgy webpage payment style.

I ordered an item costing about 1.5$ and chose to pay with paypal. I was directed to the as far as I can tell legitimate paypal website using https, and logged in. I was asked my shipping details and immediately afterwards, instead of getting to the confirm page on the ahappydeal.com I was redirected to ahappydeal page requesting to log in or register for the transaction. (other websites do not demand registration) Even though I registered, still on both ahappydeal webpage and on paypal's there was no transaction logged. I immediately changed my paypal password and hope for the best.

Then I repeated the purchase, only instead of choosing to pay with paypal, I chose to pay with the checkout process. After filling my address details on their website, only then I was given a choise for postage costs. And afterwards was given another choise of payment, between of which was again paypal.
Once more I chose paypal, and before logging in paypal, I received an email message thanking me for the purchase I made?!?!? Now I am not sure which one they mean. The inittial one, before changing my paypal password, or the second. And if it was for the second, assuming that the fisrt one was somehow discarted, how did they took money from my account before I log in paypal for the second time and with my new code?

The whole setup although I have to give some reasonable doubts seems very very very dodgy. I would stay away, especially after considering complaints easily found online about the product and service quality but also the frequent name changes of this particular eshop.

UPDATE, actually the status on their website was marked "awaiting payment" and after I logged in paypal with my new password this time, and paid, they changed the status to paid. SOOOOOO, I will update once the item is recieved or not.

shoppingzn.tk most probably scam shoping site

Well, it has been sometime but I think I just discovered a new scam e-shop.

I was looking for a computer gadget today through google shoping function and I found the cheapest one in this page:
http://shoppingzn.tk
Bells and whistles started ringing right from the start

bad sign 1: It had ZERO reviews on google.
bad sign 2: After a whois look up the page seems to be a FREE DOMAIN for which the owner cannot be disclosed, although they claim their address to be in:
Room 319
City: ShenZhen
Country: China
Postal code:518067

And the registar is in Amsterdam

Organisation:
BV Dot TK
Dot TK administrator
P.O. Box 11774
1001 GT Amsterdam
Netherlands
Phone: +31 20 5315725
Fax: +31 20 5315721
E-mail: abuse: abus @dot.tk, copyright infringement: abus @dot.tk


Your selected domain name is a Free Domain. That means that,
according to the terms and conditions of Free Domain domain names
the registrant is BV Dot TK in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Due to restrictions in Dot TK's Privacy Statement personal information
about the user of the domain name cannot be released.


more bad signs: their online help made of 3 people (shanteel richard and taphne) is always busy. (So many customers need their help??!!!) not to mention that these 3 people work 24/7...

they offer to show you their telephone number after you placed an order!!!!

some of the icons they use, eg paypal, fedex, ups etc are inactive and some are active!!!

on the log in to checkout page, they ask you to create a password!!! very poor design if you ask me... (thank god)

When I typed the http://shoppingzn.tk/ i got a very bizzare home page thanking me for the payment and the confirmation of the credit card company which I did not make ?!?!

their blog seems to be a total BS...

www.77sell.net extreme caution advised


I advice EXTREME CAUTION when using the website http://www.77sell.net/.

they do not provide any tangible contact information, they do not have solid reputation, their FAQ section is not working, they claim to provide worldwide(?) delivery within 7-10 days!!!??? (perhaps they use superman and he has a backlog of orders), they only accept paypal at least in my case, although they claim to accept major credit cards.
they got no product reviews although their site has been registered since october 2010.
their logo is damn crappy for official logo:


for all purposes I would stay away from them, or try and buy something really cheap ie 1$ to see if they actually honour their deals, before moving on to more expensive stuff.

the website whois info

SCAM

Please My Dear I Need Your Help.


My Dearest,
I am writing this mail to you With due respect trust and humanity, i appeal to you to exercise a little patience and read through my letter i feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business, honestly i am writing this email to you with pains, tears and sorrow from my heart, i will really like to have a good relationship with you and i have a special reason why i decided to contact you, i decided to contact you due to the urgency of my situation, My name is Miss. Mary Kipkalya Kones, 25yrs old female and I from Kenya in Africa. My father was the former Kenyan road Minister. He and Assistant Minister of Home Affairs Lorna Laboso had been on board the Cessna 210, which was headed to Kericho and crashed in a remote area called Kajong'a, in western Kenya .. The plane crashed on the Tuesday 10th, June, 2008

After the burial of my father, my stepmother and uncle conspired and sold my father's property to an Italian Expertrate which the shared the money among themselves and live nothing for me. One faithful morning, I opened my father's briefcase and found out the documents which he have deposited huge amount of money in one bank in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin. I travelled to Burkina Faso to withdraw the money for a better life so that I can take care of myself and start a new life, on my arrival, the Bank Director whom I met in person told me that my father's instruction to the bank is that the money would only be release to me when I am married or present a trustee who will help me and invest the money overseas... I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that I will present him to the Bank for transfer of the money to his bank account overseas.

I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as your own sister. Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well I will say that my mind convinced me that you may be the true person to help me.. Moreover, I will like to disclose much to you if you can help me to relocate to your country because my stepmothers have threatened to assinate me. The amount is( $8.5 USD )Million United State Dollars, and I have confirmed from the bank in Burkina Faso on my arrival, You will also help me to place the money in a more profitable business venture in your Country. However, you will help by recommending a nice University in your country so that I can complete my studies. It is my intention to compensate you with 40% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment. As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely. Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self for now until the bank will transfer the fund. I beg you not to disclose it till i come over because I am afraid of my wreaked stepmother who has threatened to kill me and have the money alone ,I thank God Today that am out from my country (KENYA) but now In (Burkina Faso) where my father deposited these money with my name as the next of Kin.. I have the documents for the claims.

Yours Sincerely
Mary Kipkalya Kones.

ahmed ouadrago

mr.ahmed1@9.cn


Greetings to you and your family,iam Mr Ahmed Oouadrago the auditing and accounting section manager in AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(A D B)ouagadougou burkina faso,for your kind attention.I will be very glad if you do assist me to relocate this sum of(US$39.5M)to your account for the benefit of our both families,this is genuine business,only i cannot operate it alone without using foreigner who will stand as a beneficiary to the money,that is why i decided to contact you in a good manner to assist me and also you will share the benefit together with me.By indicating, your interest,i will send you the full detail on how the business will be executed.please
keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it,if your not interested.Regards,

Mr Ahmed


second email

My dear Brother,

I assure you once again that you stand no risk assisting in this project as we are going to follow all the official and legal procedures to get all approvals in your favour as the beneficiary.

I am working with African Development Bank here in Burkina Faso where this money is. I have been following this file in the bank here and have seen that everything is perfect before I contacted you for you assistance in transferring the fund.

The money has been in the account without any withdrawals and deposits that made me to have special interest on the file. I followed the file till the account became dormant before I investigated to find out that the owner of the account died with his wife and their only daughter in a plane crash.

I know very well that you might be wary of the fact that you are not in any way related to the deceased man but according to the laws of inheritance in Burkina faso one must not be a relative to the deceased in order to be able to apply for inheritnce, having taken note of this laws I have decided to present you to my bank as a business associate and next of kin to the deceased which you know that somebody's business associate can come from any part of the world so it doesn't matter where you are. This will certainly rule out all your fears.

Once the change of beneficiary form is endorsed certificate of inheritance will be issued you which is the legal document showing you as the beneficiary to the funds and also proofs that the money going into your account is genuine, free from drugs, terrorism and money laundering. With this certificate no questions will be asked by any government or authority, and I will make sure anything with regards to the transfer is deleted from the bank's files after the successful transfer into your account. You should not have any fears as I have checked everything before deciding to engage on the transfer. Following the discovery of this account and the bank's recomendation that after this fiscal year the fund will be transferred to the apex bank as unclaimed bills, warranted my search for an honest person who will apply for the fund and claim it so that we share it together in the ratio of 60%/40%. That is 60% for me and 40% for your assistance. I have worked here in the bank for a period of time now without achieving anything that is why I want to utilize this opportunity.

However, this transaction will be strictly based on the following terms and conditions as I have stated below:

My conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.

That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality it deserves.

That you will not ask for more percentage or try to sit on the funds once it is under your custody, or any form of blackmail to take the money alone.

That upon receipt of the funds you will release the funds as instructed by me after you have removed your share from the total amount before my arrival in your country as it might take me little time to retire and get my travel documents ready before arriving in your country.

This transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude it deal within 10-14 working days if you accord me your unalloyed support and co-operation. I give you my word that you are completely safe in doing business with me.

After the processing of all Foreign Payment documents, and when the money is ready to be paid into your A/C, after the final Approval in your favour by the finance ministry, you be required to come in person to sign the change of beneficiary documents so that certificate of inheritance will be issued in your name. We can as well engage an attorney if you are unable to come, but I will appreciate if you make it possible to be here as that will also be an opportunity for us to know each other and build more confidence before the fund enters your account.

You should know that this opportunity can hardly come my way again in life so I have planned everything very well so be rest assured that everything will work out fine. Frankly speaking from the bottom of my heart, my fear now is the security of this money in your custody once transferred into your A/C because I don't know you nor your capability and facilities to handle this large amount. What is your age and profession? I will really like to know more of you and I will want you to keep it very onfidential at all times and also to be maintaining constant communications with me knowing that this transaction should take precedence over any other for the mean time.

Now I need your Account information and your private telephone numbers as need may arise either to call you in the day or night as occasion warrants. Any account is OK for this as far as it can receive money. Pls follow this chart;

Bank Name:
Bank Address:
Account Number:
Beneficiary Name:
Swift Code(if any):

Personal information

Contact Address:
Phone:
Fax:

Pls respond as quickly as possible with your account information to enable us put an application to the bank for the approval processes in your favour as the beneficiary.

I want to re-assure you that this business is risk free and you can send an empty account to receive the funds, provided that the account is capable to receive incoming funds.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Warmest regards,

Ahmed

I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE AND TRUST PLEASE!

From: Mr Kabore Saidou.
African Development Bank
Burkina Faso (ADB)
Ouagadougou - Burkina Faso.

Dear friend, Good Day

I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business, Please due welcome this letter.

I am Mr Kabore Saidou. the director of the accounts & auditing dept .at the African Development Bank Ouagadougou-west Africa . (A D B) With due respect, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us.At the bank's last accounts/auditing evaluations, my staffs came across an old account which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learnt was among the deceased passengers of motor accident on November.2003, the deceased was unable to run this account since his death. The account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by the client.

Since his demise, even the members of his family haven't applied for claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit account until I discovered that it cannot be claimed since our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to file claims over the money. As the director of the department, this discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. I decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of the bank and out of the country too.

The total amount in the account is ten million five hundred thousand dollars (USD 10,500,000.00).with my positions as a staffs of the bank, I am handicapped because I cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bonafide claim over this money. The client was a foreign national and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin and I will supply you with all the necessary information and bank data to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank of your choice where this money could be transferred into.

The total sum will be shared as follows: 50% for me, 50% for you and expenses incidental occur during the transfer will be incured by both of us. The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you are going to follow my instruction till the fund transfer to your account.Since I work in this bank that is why you should be confident in the success of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when desired.I will wish you to keep this transaction secret and confidential as I am hoping to retire with my share of this money at the end of transaction which will be when this money is safety in your account. I will then come over to your country for sharing according to the previously agreed percentages. You might even have to advise me on possibilities of investment in your country or elsewhere of our choice. May God help you to help me to a restive retirement, Amen.
Please for further information and enquires feel free to contact me back immediately for more explanation and better understanding.
(00226 74 38 26 03)
I am waiting for your urgent response!!!
Thanks and remain blessed

Mr Kabore Saidou,



Thank you for your answer to my proposition. How is your family? I hope no problem. Please I want you to know that this is a legitimate transaction, don't be afraid of anything, it is real and genuine.
You are advice to look at my second mail and when you assure me that you will help me to safe keep this fund when it enters into your account I will prepare the official request form or application letter which you will fill and send it to our bank. to pay you pressing attention to your demand towards the bank as the heir for dead customer.

Know that this deal is 100 % risk free. Be assured that I shall supply you with the detailed information which they will require from you as regards to this deal.

Note, you should not allow the bank to know that you have a partner who supplies you with the information they require from you to support your demand as heir to Mr Kattan Azmal.

Be assured that if you can understand and follow my instructions, there will be no difficulty for the bank to transfer this fund into your account. I am a man of 46yrs with 3 children.

I will retire from the public service any moment as soon as I conclude this deal with you. Bear in mind that this fund belongs to a foreigner but regrettably he died with his family in fatal motor accident and so far nobody came to our bank to demand this fund as heir to the deceased and I being from Burkina Faso citizen, I cannot demand this fund because it belongs to a foreigner and only a foreigner can demand this fund.

Note that the fund must be transferred in your account under 7 working days counting from the day of submission of your application and approval by our bank.

The total sum will be shared as follows: 50% for me, 50% for you and expenses incidental occur during the transfer will be incure by both of us. The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you are going to follow my instruction till the fund transfer to your account

There will be some vital and legal documents to back up this transfer into your account and there is no way the bank will transfer the money into your account without those documents which is going to obtain here as the origin and source of this fund.

Meanwhile I make it very clear this fund is here life in this bank so do not be afraid to apply as the next of kin, am here to back you up to make sure everything is ok.

I await your answer as urgency implies. Thank you and my respect to your beautiful family and to hope to be with you soon.

Call me on this line for further explanations:+226 74 38 26 03,
Please equally forward your telephone number to me for effective communication.

Mr.Kabore Saidou
