I was desperetaly looking for some help i was almoust buying the phone when i found your forum, can u help me with this? cause i received a contavt from another company phones4u.co.uk that also show me some very nice prices.

On the webpage it lists this information:

TELECOMMUNICATION LIMITED
1ST FLOOR
314 REGENTS PARK ROAD
FINCHLEY
LONDON N3 2LT
UNITED KINGDOM
Company No. 03706737
Date of Incorporation: 02/02/1999

TEL: +447031916551 , +447045705416
EMAIL: [email protected]

Typically scammers use telephone numbers which start with 4470 because they are redirect numbers so the person who receives the call can be any place in the world. A company based in London would not need to use a redirect number. They would also not need a hotmail email address if they were who they say they are.

We are pleased to have helped you to not be scammed.

Before you purchase from any online seller, it is very important to read their terms of service. Those can be found here: http://www.phones4u.co.uk/contact-us/help_terms.asp

If you read carefully, their special prices include signing up for their service plan.

The web site http://www.telecomslimited.page.tl/Home.htm is dead.

They are sell Ipone 4s unlocked for $489.50

That website is registered for only one year, and this Ricky Brown is using a yahoo email address instead of an email address with the domain name.
If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.

-The "company" lists a UK phone number, but the prices are in American dollars. This makes no sense--a UK site would quote prices in UK currency.

-By law, UK businesses that do business online are required to post a physical address on their website. I cannot find a physical address or company registration information anywhere.

Combining those with the things David pointed out above, it does not look good.

Hi guys. I just found this web site http://electsonex.com/ and was wondering if someone could tell me if they are scam? Thank you

The website has only been around since September and is registerd for the minimum one year registration which is not a good sign. Might want to read this thread http://www.tbssowners.com/forums/showth ... ?p=1300506
