I was looking for camera and lenses and came across a site that had UNBELIEVABLE pricing. i tried to call and they had their number listed wrong. i did some investigating by the address and called the number.  it was the home of a couple who told me they have had MANY calls asking about this company and they had no idea what it was about.
i told them i would help to try and put a stop to it. i emailed the company 3 times and got no response. i was very disappointed to find out these people are obviously taking credit card numbers and making charges but not delivering any merchandise.
anything that can be done to shut them down and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law would be greatly appreciated. theres no telling how many people they have ripped off already.

All Lies

I bought a PS3 and a hdtv from this company. A friend recommended them so I didn't thought moneygram payment would be a problem. They shipped both items exactly as promised. I don't understand why moneygram is such a problem?? I had a paypal account, long time ago, and I had only problems with it, they kept blocking my money, I heard horror stories about them. check out this website: www.paypalsucks.com. Go try to purchase an item with the credit card from newegg.com or bestbuy.com. They put the payment on review for 3 days, and after that you will have to send a scanned copy of the credit card and proof of your identity? www.discounts-electronics.com is a great place to buy electronics, no delays, no hassle, you just pay by moneygram and then you receive your item in record time. They have a B plus BBB rating, they are Merchant Circle Verified. Check out other reviews on rip-off about this company,

Please don't give credit to people that don't know what are they talking about, this company is legitimate.
