Not a very good sign in my opinion

I would stay away especially that you can't establish the real owners.They are hiding their real information

DON'T tell the scammer that you found him in this site. Just cease all communications with him and move on.

If you buy eletronic goods off the internet from people you have never heard of you're going to get ripped off, and that's a certainty.

There's a thread on this forum where we've detected hundreds of fake websites set up by just one scam gang and there are thousands of scammers flooding the internet with spam offering fantastic deals on goods they'll never send out.

Here's a reply I received from one of these idiots in reply to an enquiry I made.

This is from a professional group of scammers, undoubtedly based in Africa from the style, working from internet cafes backed up with fake websites and mass mailings, massive forum spamming and use of free advertising sites. Yet they are clueless about how to actually send out an item by mail.

Clearly they've never done it. :laugh-s:

The details they promise to send me are pathetic drivel that don't make sense to anyone who knows anything about shipping goods - which clearly they don't - and notice that they want payment by Western Union - the clincher.

Non-EU citizens should go here to find out about obtaining a visa to work as an au pair in the UK

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer
