   i landed on this website, which ironically runs off the yahoo merchant solution; they advertise themselves as sellers of unique phones, they require a service where you pay before you receive the phones, which is ok only that they do not accept international credit cards but only UK ones, i thought this made sense and duly wired $530 to a fella in the UK to cover the purchase price and S&H;costs for my brand new unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.

   i was duly sent my tracking number to track my package which was due to arrive in 2 days; they had advertised that they ship via fedex, but the shipping company i was given a tracking ID to wasn’t. i didn’t think this was an issue.

   a day later i was informed by the sales fella mario heras that they’d mistakenly shipped 5 units instead of the 1 i had paid for, he also informed me that the only way i was going to get my one phone i paid for would mean i’d have to send him an extra $2000 to pay for the other 4 mistakenly shipped ones.

   i immediately told him that i’d do no such thing and that it would cost them far less to re-ship the phones to the UK and ship my one piece to me, than it would cost me to purchase 4 other phones i’ve no use for.

   when i pushed abit more he become more violent in his communications with me, i decided to cut my losses and get my money back. i requested he have my $500 wired to me, at this point he assured me that there was no way he was send the money back to me as in as far as he was concerned it would have to pay for the costs incurred in shipping the phones back to them even as they admitted it wasn’t my fault.

   as i stand now i’ve been fleeced of $530, and think this might just be the tip of the iceberg with other people being taken in for much mor.

   i hope this help protect other people from these fraudsters.

   Site definitely looks sketchy.
