goWholesale

Hello,

I have received an INCREDIBLE deal from http://www.elttrade.com/ , however they are asking for Western Union or MoneyGram only. They are located in the UK. I was wondering if anyone has done business with them. I think that it is a scam. Any replies would be helpful. Thanks!

heh, this was my thought exactly. However, whenever they reply to an e-mail they do give their information in the end:

Also, I found them through eBay, with a user id which had no feedback. He then made an auction for me to bid on, so I would feel safer. I said that this doesnt help and that the only way I would pay is through PayPal or Escrow. This is the auction he made:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 3038439913

It is under a different username than the one I found him on, and this time he has a lot of positive feedback, however if you notice the feedback is ALL buyer feedback and no seller. Also, his user id has been changed recently according to eBay. I then later find an auction in the EXACT same format as the one I orignally saw, under a different name with no feedback. This is the auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... gory=15046

I have come to the conclusion that it IS a scam, however I am worried that it is not and that it is a REALLY good deal I am passing up. But I am 90% sure it is a scam.

Being a techy, I love digging around internet for information about questionable sites. Posting their domain registration info, so that hopefully you may contact them and get a better feel of their merchandise and authenticity. Not wanting to completely brand this elttrade a sham yet until guilty?

What did they say when you told them you wanted to use escrow.com?

Hello all,I just bought from that site a brand new sony plasma television which cost normally 12999$, for just 7500$.I was very unsure about this deal,but it seems not all good deals are fakes.This was for real and I am very satisfied.I will recommend this site to all my friends.I hope I could help somehow.Bye.

Since often881 "I think" Has purchased from this person why not provide the tracking number to see if you got the item. I mean he did ship it through UPS and the item has to weigh over 100s of lbs im sure the ups tracking number would provide that info. Its funny how this is your first post and just joined no to long ago. Hmmmm what do you think guys
Tracking number

what gave me the idea was when I make my wholesale purchases and receive them through ups i always cut of the section where it has the tracking number because anyone can just go to ups.com and type that tracking number and see where that item came from, the weight, and when it was shiped. I checked the website of the person selling and it shows that everything is shiped through UPS so lets see if often is willing to coaporate with 411
