Hi,

looking at some Harmon Kardon Sound Stick Speakers, ran a google shopping search for them to see what the cheapest price is the address appears to be UK http://www.theelectronicscorp.com/about_us.php?qid=about but some prices are in dollars, they seem cheap, too cheap infact as the cheapest I can fine elsewhere is £90 and they are only asking £47 odd inc UPS ground delivery any thoughts....

p.s have a visa credit card so am I right in thinking I would be covered in any event if it were a scam, am uk resident???

please take a look.....

any thoughts or expereinces jut seems to good to be true
 
Well mate, I would think it is a scam to be honest, although it could just be cheap imports from Japan or China.

If you're protected on your VISA card.. why not give them a try? If it is a scam you're protected from ID theft etc.

Off topic, have you sent the payment yet?
 
yep I agree it seems to stink I would imagine they would cost more for a shop to buy as trade.

Guess its the old saying....if it sounds to good to be true it most likely is:bs:LOL:D

Am sure Im covered on my card but can't be messed with the agro to be honest, unless I was confident it was legitimate.

Any other thoughts anyone???

p.s payment sent maddutchdude:-)
 
They were only created on the first of october and only for one year.

It's good you backed out, everything about this looks a bit scammy. I shall have it investigated and possibly killed by some friends of mine.

LOOK AT THIS GUYS ADDRESS!!! HAHAH

SO THEY HAVE ONLY JUST STARTED THIER COMPANY! SO HOW DO THEY GET ALL THIER THINGS. THEY HAVE STARTED SOME FAKE OFFICE IN LIVERPOOL WHICH DONT EXIST! AND THEY ARE ONLY BOUGHT A DOMAIN FOR A YEAR. WELL... i would say that this is fishy and if you are going to buy anything... make another VISA send off a small some of money and watch you get back a notice of your money being stolen... OTHERWISE stray away :nono:
