Tried to make a purchase, been sitting in processing for almost a month, no response to emails. Definite scam, have notified bitpay, their payment processor, hitting up every website I can find that mentions them so other’s won’t get sucked in like I did

check before buy. Thanks to those, who give the heads up.

I was about to buy something on their site when I saw this thread. Now, I'm not sure.

Their laptops are not significantly below what you can find other places (amazon), so I don't know if that is enough justification to label them as scammers.

It's my understanding that they are scammers. I'm a little torn as they have put a lot of effort into their website to simply be labelled a scam, however their prices leave little doubt.

1) Prices on most of their products, especially Apple branded, are well below wholesale price. I know for a fact that Apple sells iPhone 5's to resellers for more than $449, so how are they able to sell them at that price? The same goes for the iPad & MacBook range. Prices on their website are literally lower than Apple will sell to hundred-million dollar distributors, how could they possibly have bought them so cheap?

2) All of their reviews are from prior to their website launching.

3) They claim to have SSL encryption but I can't find any (We have it though Wink

)

If somebody does end up using them please let me know, but I would be very cautious.

Looking to make a purchase on http://bitcoinelectronics.net and wondering if anyone has used them and what their experience was.
Has anyone used them? I see that WalletBit is closing down so not sure how they'll be processing BTC payments.
Cheers.
