Right, I've just been dealing with this company at work and my brain tells me it MUST be a scam... I just can't work out how... Your thoughts? The URL is below http://www.binzle.com
Just posted an enquiry with the consumer advice people, and see what they come back and say... if it is legit then i will be getting myself an xbox 360 and 40" Plasma
Well it does sound a LITTLE suspicious, notice you can't see their T&C's, which if you could, would probably tell you that there are no such goods or that they are broken or indeed nicked. I also see that they're using Mal's e-commerce which is fine for a small, one person band or very small company but I would have thought that someone like this would at least have a merchant banking service such as Barclay's ePDQ. Lets face it anyone can set up a good looking website like that and a e-commerce bank account through PayPal. Look how many dodgy, and I mean dodgy deals there are on eBay, I bet everyone knows of someone that's brought something fake or nicked on there, not that you would necessarily know about the latter, until the police come knocking on your door. I will be interested to see if they send out there T&C's.
Have you seen the testimonial page (customer feedback) they all say its good, but they could all be in on the scam. http://www.binzle.com/testimonials/
I just know they were speaking to my company about advertising.... just seemed odd that you would want to advertise a scam? Or just very ballsy! The paypal thing threw me too as I'm sure that you are guaranteed with paypal... I suspect that the 'Paypal login' on the site is fake and is a means of gathering your login details. I am not touching it with a barge pole, but interested to see how long it takes to get closed down!
interesting... Why are people so bad... I hate scams.. and have never been fooled by one, although it came close and heck that guy will never scam people agaiN!
At the end of the day, there is a certain amount of risk of buying online today. You forget its all coding, and it's probably me being stupid again but, if one piece of coding just a small fraction lost its direction and leaked to a hacker or whoever they could end up knowing all your personal details...on top of all the other threats of buying online... I hope my short talk hasn't put you off buying and selling...
That is a scam designed solely to steal people's PayPal details. Why would you set up a website and then only accept PayPal payments and not credit cards? A well-designed scam but never-the-less still a scam.
You know that this could still be legit, but I tempted to purchase something for £30 and see whether it arrives, as I can afford to lose £30, plus I have an address and a phone number and I am covered by Paypal if the goods dont arrive...
