Is this website legit? www.digitaldiscounted.com?

Looks like the domain was only registered a few days ago...



prices seem too good to be true.

According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), you should steer clear of this %26quot;company%26quot; (www.digitaldiscounted.com), which they have listed as yourdigitalelectronics.com, a URL that閳ユ攺ot surprisingly閳?is no longer valid. They received a rating of F!



I determined that they are one and the same company by comparing the physical address and fax number on the contact page of digitaldiscounted.com to that listed here on the BBB site:



http://www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Busine...



If this link does not work, go to http://www.us.bbb.org/, click on the orange link for %26quot;Check out a business or charity,%26quot; and enter %26quot;your digital electronics%26quot; in the search box (it%26#039;s listed as in California, btw). The first result is the correct one.



Here%26#039;s what the BBB says on the page listed above:



%26quot;We urge caution! The company%26#039;s website is registered via a Malaysian domain Registrar, and, the company%26#039;s payment center is in Rome, Italy. The website was created in October of 2007, which may attest to the length of time the company has been in business. According to the website, the only method of payment accepted by the company is Western Union money transfer. Buyers should be aware, that this payment method may leave little or no recourse if the company fails to deliver the merchandise, or other problems occur. Most well established internet companies do accept credit cards as a means of payment.%26quot;



Apparently at least 15 people have been unable to reach the company with complaints.

that%26#039;s what i want to know too.



Other Replys:Nope: addy is the same as the website mentioned in this post: http://www.highdefforum.com/showthread.p...



Other Replys:Hi fieldbio88 can you tell me where I can find this forum that you mentioned? The link is not complete and I also want to buy something from the store and I have some doubts.



Other Replys:thats what i want to know too. Ive called their number and its a t-mobil number, the address checks out but no one answers at the number just an automated voice. I left a message for them to call me back but Im waiting...the prices are sooo good. SOmeone please tell me they are legit



Other Replys:This site is a scam!!!!! This is a very common scam that is going around. Someone sets up an electronics site with cheap electronics to collect people%26#039;s credit card numbers and personal information. They then use your credit card to pay for advertising and possible other things. Once the scam has been discovered, they change site names so that people at forums like here who ask whether the site is legit or not will not get an answer. For example, they can change from digitaldiscounted.com to digitaldiscount.com to digitaldiscounts.com and so on.



Before you buy anything on an unknown site, search for the company%26#039;s information on the website. If there is no address and no phone number, and the only contact is email, it is definitely a scam.



Other Replys:I suggest this site be reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at http://www.ic3.gov/



Other Replys:I accidentally made a %26quot;purchase%26quot; on the site. Immediately after I caught my mistake. Does anyone have any advice on what to do or how to handle this? I canceled my credit card ~ 5 min after trying to buy something and the transaction was never processed so I should be ok right?



Other Replys:The site is a fake. When entering personal info on any web site, at minimum you should see %26quot;https:%26quot; in the address bar and a gold %26quot;lock%26quot; on your taskbar showing the web sight is secure. This sight does not provide that security when entering info. Run away from it now.



Other Replys:This is a SCAM.



Easiest way to identify: they sell Apple iphone 8G for $311. How can this be possible?



The domain was registered only 1 week ago, 2/5/2008. Clearly a scam.



Other Replys:It is a fraud site. It looks like they use a couple different names, but the phone number seems to always be the same. Check out this link I found. http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:5oY...
