I just got the following email:

Hi,
I bought a TV last week from a website:www.hkeles.com. I have
received the product. The quality is very good. They also sell
phones,motor,psp and so on. Because of the financial crisis, their
products are very cheap. by the way, they only sell new and original
products .If you need these products, you can have a look . I think
you will get many benefits.
Greetings!


It says that they only deal in bank transfers and Western Union...

Welcome to Scamwarners sniks. Could you please post the mail address ?

I have quickly looked at the site - but will investigate it at greater length later.

I would be very wary indeed of paying for any goods online if asked to wire money by Western Union.

Please see this site for guidance;

only doing business with companies that you recognise or know of by recommendation by someone you trust - don't judge a company on how 'professional' their website looks


Please also see this site concerning mail similar to the one you received;

Never send money by Western Union/Moneygram.
Never give personal information.
Online anyone can claim to be anyone, any age and from anywhere.
