Is this site a real Dell site?

[ThePresence]

I got an email asking me to confirm my info for a Dell Extended Service plan which I ordered. However, the site doesn't look Dell to me. Anyone?

Nope

I put in a fake order number and got this:

Our records indicate that all contracts on this order have been registered. If you have not registered your contracts and need further assistance call us at: 1(866)497-2661.

During what hours may I set up a claim?

The call center is open 24 by 7 364 days a year.

That doesn't even sound close to professional.

It looks very unprofessional, and the name isn't a dell.com name.

So now that we all agree it's fake, where do they get the info from that I recently ordered a Extended Service plan from Dell?

I did, they answer like it's Dell. I just hung up.

 

[chuckywang]

Hmm...call Dell and ask them if they know of this website.

Did that. Some girl in India told me that I have to call back on Monday.

 

[spanky]

by looking at the URL, i am inclined to say no. are dell urls usually something like http://*****.dell.com? the url in question has it backwards, which leads me to believe someone is trying to scam ppl. just my two cents.

 

[sniperruff]

ah come on how long have you been on the internet? that looks like a terrible fake at best after i've looked at it for 1/2 a second!

 

[Ryan]

Seriously - let's use the brain matter that's located in your head, just for a second:

The Domain Name: servicecontactregistration.com - seems fishy for a company called Dell, huh?
Does it look like the rest of dell's websites? - Maybe if you were blind, but for the rest of us, no.

I could go on as there are many other glaringly fishy things about website, but please use some common sense. With all of the scams that go around, how could you not think this was one of them? At least the Ebay scammers use the ebay design, this looks like it was designed by some 12 year old boy scout wanting to earn a technology badge in a hurry.

 

[Abhi]

no...

 

[Pepsi90919]

yes
