Went to look at their SIII and found this:

Samsung Galaxy Note II 16GB SIM Free / Unlocked (Brown) (Clearance!!)
$399
SKU: sam635hg4

Good deal if you can stand the crappy colour.

Apparently clearance so get in quick!

    I was looking at this also but not sure whether the seller is trust worthy. Anyone deal with them before?

  • cosmic on 17/04/2013 - 12:03

    dodgy

  • siuol on 17/04/2013 - 12:05

    The picture shown is actually a S3. This can be a S3 as the other S3 with normal colours are selling for $359

    They only allow direct deposit, so more risky than if allow to pay by paypal. Still thinking.

    Edit: Looks like a scam, must be very careful nowadays, any sellers that request payments via direct deposit or western union is potentially a scam, whether the seller is a well-known company or little known one. If for example, Harvey Norman or JB Hifi request payments via direct deposit or western union only, it is likely a scam as their website must have been hacked.

    Same as the other deal please note.
    BUYERS BEWARE, HIGLY PROBABLE SCAM SITE.
    Was reading a thread last night on whirlpool related to directdiscountwarehouse.com.au. You can find it here whirlpool. Towards the end of 2nd page people have come up with the conclusion that the original site was shutdown and techshopping is the new site put up to scam customers. These people use stolen ABN numbers to appear legit.
    And remember there is no paypal or cc fraud protection with direct debit.

      thanks, just neg.

  • awebofdeception on 17/04/2013 - 12:16

    I think it's a scam. It looks like a very slightly modified version of this site http://web.archive.org/web/20130225012452/http://www.directd… , which was taking people's money. See here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2067484

    edit: above poster beat me to it!

  • Forcf on 17/04/2013 - 12:17

    I've never seen note II in brown, what they are talking about?

    • Steptoe on 17/04/2013 - 12:23

      I never seen an electron, but they exist too apparently.

      Brown n7100

  • IJustKnowStuff on 17/04/2013 - 12:18

    In this day and age, if you're standing up a site selling stuff like this and are only doing Bank Transfers/Direct Debit, then there's a high likely hood of being a scam, or potentially having to deal with technically backwards help…which is worse.

  • Click_It on 17/04/2013 - 12:18

    Brown isn't the new black btw.

    (just came to neg, looks dodgy regardless of colour)

  • Bucksaver on 17/04/2013 - 12:19

    Price seems to be correct because this model is without 4G LTE network.

  • bonky on 17/04/2013 - 12:19

    No paypal payments…. I feel uneasy!

  • tinkko on 17/04/2013 - 12:23

    I emailed for shipping, they replied me within few mins and shipping will take 3 to 5 days but still worry for payment.

  • ttwaite on 17/04/2013 - 12:28

    Just get it pricematched at officeworks?

    Not a registered GST?

    • Steptoe on 17/04/2013 - 16:11

      More like ABN hijacking

  • Scamalert on 30/04/2013 - 10:33

    Techshopping.com.au is a SCAM. They stole my money. Don't buy from them.
