This site HAS to be a scam

[geno]

Also, look at the user reviews, they all seem like they were written by the person who made the site, not to mention that all of the reviews shamelessly promote the site

Here's a review from their site:

I ordered this product, along with others 3 weeks ago and I just got it.
I am right now playing a game, I like how bright the LCD is, wow, I really like this. It has no defects nether.
Works flawlessly.

Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Funny, I just saw the same review - next to a picture of a *gamecube*

 

[Train]

I was thinking of doing the same.. like ordering the $20 gamecube or something. But meh, too much work for me (plus I'm at work and have other things to do..)

1. Make bogus online store in your moms basement in Pakistan.
2. "Sell" at least one item.
3. Profit.

They are hosted on http://www.isnnetworks.net/ which i believe is a no-name company for http://www.synchosting.com/

Yeah I'd be worried about that... anyone got a CC with an insanely low limit on it or something that wants to try it?

Which CC company issues temp #'s for one-time orders? I'm half-tempted to do that and see what happens if I order the Gamecube package!

Ping wholesale-pc.com
then get the IP and run it through the ARIN Whois DB.

Citi, I think...

Edit: Just noticed they used the same template as SodaKing.com. I was looking at something in Off topic earlier, and SodaKing was mentioned, so i looked around. Then i see this, and i'm thinking, why does this site look familiar. The "Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account?" is what really stuck in my mind. Crazy.

It's probably a site that sells guides to get these items for little or no money.

Must have been made by some 12 yr old kid.
This is the funniest sh!t so far.

Currently our main phone lina can only reach 4 person, thats the Store Owner, the Manager, the Human Resources Department and the Purchasing and Contacts Department heads, despite all the work all these 4 main people have to do, we simply dont have enough time to handle a surge of over 2,000 phone calls a day from internet customers around the world and besides that, 4 people is not enough, we are also hiring phone operators and have hured 227 so far.

"main phone lina"
"4 people is not enough" hahaha...now thats an understatement.
"and have hured 227 so far"

4 to 227....hahaa.

Can't load the page

Found this old, but interesting article about their 3rd party credit-card procesor, e-gold.

 

[Stunt]

RaDragon...do it!
spec it out if you can though Nick

 

[geno]

LMK if it works

 

[Babbles]

I can not even surf that website because the bad grammar and spelling is just killing me. Sadly, I bet there will be more than a few people who will place an order via this company and get burned.

Erm, I'll think about it.
/me is not really brave and she's a wimp.

I've actually been looking through the sign-up process for e-Gold.com -- it's easy, until you get to the part to "transfer" money. Then I did a search online and found 2 other sites (Gamers) discussing the same company... Need to do more research before I bite this one!

thats because they both use the shopping cart OS Commerce which is well known and free.

and whois for www.wholesale-pc.com gives nothing
