Has anyone have any experience dealing with this company? They have great price for top-notch laptop. However they only accept money via Western Union Wire Transfer. I found them on Yahoo's Auction.

PS. I couldn't find a forum to post, so I post in this one.

You would be better off putting your money in a pile and burning it.

In Soviet Russia, thieves take your money and dont give you a laptop.

That site is selling a Dell XPS system with an Intel EE chip and MR9800 256MB video card for ~$1k. That is such a joke, stay away, its a scam.

As soon as I saw the domain name, I knew it was a scam. Don't deal with ANYONE that only uses Western Union. I recommend not ever sending cash Western Union unless you REALLY know the person and are close to them i.e. close friends/relatives only. This is a scam if I ever did see one.

Upon reading further, I just wanted to point out that they accept the following payments:

We use the following methods of payment:

1) Western Union
2) Money Gram
3) Bank Money Transfer (Temporary unavailalbe)
4) E-gold (temporary unavailalbe)
5) Credit Cards (temporary unavailabe)
6) Money Orders (ONLY IF THE ORDER WILL BE 10.000$ (USD) OR MORE)
7) Personal Checks (ONLY IF THE ORDER WILL BE 10.000$ (USD) OR MORE)

We will not use other payment systems (such as PayPal, Escrow, C.O.D, the last only at our office in Moscow) as they are not avaialble in Russia.

Thanks for answering guys. I figure it couldn't be true, but just want to make sure. Like I said, I found it on Yahoo! Auction, sot hat is why I ask. Never use Yahoo auction, so don't know how safe that is.
