    Do not fall for this. This was posted earlier and if people aren't smart will get scammed badly.

    This is what I ask
    How many do you have?

    Do you accept Paypal?

    Are these new?


    This is the reply

    Thanks Nicholas,

    We have 29units available and no we do not accept paypal. We had fraud alert and we stop using it. Sorry.

    Welcome back Nicholas,

    We accept moneygram for 1 to 10units and bank transfer for bulk orders.

    Seriously they are trying to scam badly. Be careful never pay unless with Paypal. Credit cards arent bad if your bank will back you and protect you from theft, mine does. Using Western Union to transfer funds or any other place there is no protection for you.

    yeah... if anyone ever wants you to buy something using moneygram or western union or something like that.. your taking a HUGE risk. And this seems even more fraud sounding in the fact they'd accept something like that which is scammed and used with fraud schemes all the time, yet they say they won't use paypal due to d fraud alert... so they go with something that has even a bigger risk.

    Always be very careful when purchasing things long distance... its very easy to get scammed.
