I would avoid these as they are to good to be true, the simple fact the seller will only accept payments that cannot be stopped (or a method of protection ala PayPal) is a give away, its probably a scam, you part with your cash and get nothing in return - there maybe feedback, but ask yourself if it is genuine? -
If you want a unit, purchase from a reputable UK supplier - they cannot run off with your money - Mike |

And for your £40 you'll get nowt. They're hijacked accounts. The age old adage 'If it appears to good to be true it is' is good advice on eBay. _________________ Darren Griffin

Yep, looks as dodgy as hell. All the feedback is from users who are no longer registered. _________________ Gone fishing! |
