Anyone shopped with these guys? Have found a German forum slagging them off but my German is pretty basic. They seem to have completely off the wall pricing on things (£1.47 for a HDD?). Wanted to get an idea of whether it's worth testing them on it to see if I can bag a bargain or will they just run off with my cash.

[Mr Lazy]

I'm afraid I've not used them (never heard of them) but I never spend more than say £15-20 with a website that has no phone number or address.

Having said that they seem to be part of the Systemax group who own Misco so in theory should be ok.

Their Ts&Cs page is almost unreadable.

EDIT: I see what you mean about the prices. £686 for a 500GB Samsung? I suspect their db is screwed. If it were me, I'd avoid.

[Hkem]

Yeah, and £1.47 for a 500GB HDD...hence my enquiry.

No chance! Just look at the 5870 they have on offer...

Tehyoo

Seem to put a comma in random places so the ASUS for £3,44 I dare say is actually £344.00! I believe that £1,47 hard drive could cost you £147

[miscoweb]

I can confirm that this website Tehyoo.com is not part of the Systemax group and never has been. Systemax are in the process of contacting them regarding their content and reference to Systemax.
Thanks for flagging this up.

I just found them when looking for XFX Radeon HD5770 1g on froogle. As Misco have this for £129 wanted to compare and they came up with £1.57! Im going with dodgy site...

I hope you were joking

[Babbler]

Only just started looking at cards. Need one around £120 and dont want to upgrade for 2 years at least - so DX11 would be required. Is this a bad card then?

[nosurp]

All,

I am also unsure of this site, and it all looks very suspicious, but cannot ignore the possible bargain. For the sake of £50 (£50 minimum order on this site), I have taken a punt and ordered some kit. I will post and let you know what happens (whether my money dissapears forever or if I get a real bargain).

Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed!

Just happened to find this site too. My mantra is if it's too good to be true....

However, it would be interesting to find out how you get on.

[mickyd67]

I see they don't accept credit cards - this looks v dodgy.

[nosurp]

I have since lost my nerve an bailed out!

Everything about this was too good to be true, and as you say, if the only accept bank transfer, then something is not right.

Sorry to dissapoint!

Can't blame you - you've done the right thing I suspect.

Have you given them your bank details?

It might as well be called www.scameoutofmymoney.com - I'm convinced the job of Wallet Inspector is ready to make a comeback nowdays!

[cjgar]

I checked their address using dawhois.com and they seem to be hosted in Malaysia - makes the postage seem very reasonable

[WeegieAVLover]

What are you smokin.... & can I have some, please???

I want a Synology DS509 and a DX5 expansion (at some point) and the cheapest I have found both for comes to a total of about £1000.

They are offering it with a 95% discount to the rest of the human internet surfing world. If someone buys stuff from them let me know and I will by their entire stock count of these items and make an absolute killing on ebay.

However DON'T DO IT!!!! UNCLE COLIN HAS SPOKEN

I thought the same...

...so I added a few scandalously cheap items to my cart, and tried to buy, thinking "if it's only £10, I don't mind having a punt for a potential huge reward."

Then
WARNING FLAG

The site says "minimum order is £35" or £50 or something like that.

Hmmm. Dodgy, much? So I added more scandalously cheap items like an i7 intel core processor for £3 x 8 and stuff until it made £50.

Then I got to the payment page.


Where is paypal? Where is credit cards? Where are all the nice, safe payment options I associate with the developed world and with buyer protection? None existed.

Bank transfer only.

Even worse, I thought, once my bank details were passed onto the unknown entity, all kinds of awful things could happen to my bank account. I even considered using one of my old bank accounts and transferring £51 into it...

...but then I snapped back to reality and realised that I didn't have £50 to waste on a wild goose chase and the likelihood was that I'd never see the cash again.

I googled the account number at Barclays that they give for transfers, and turns out it relates to splash plastic - the UK site that allows people to pay vendors using a prepaid card, and, more importantly, receive money over the internet. I reported the account to splashplastic via email (no reply) customerservices@360money.com

That was for payment by the "check/money order" option.

If you select "bank transfer" (or was it direct deposit?) you get presented with details for a halifax bank account.

So I forwarded my email to halifax bank online security, and google web results security
security@hbosplc.com
security@google.com

I hope to God either
a) it's not a scam and I can go back and make a killing
b) that it's a scam and they get caught

Thought of masking the account details as there could be a legitimate party being used as a mule/dummy A/C holder...then thought naaaah. The accounts are either the well-publicised splash plastic A/C details...

...or are in the name of the 'company' - teyhoo

Hi guys.

Recently came across the website
tehyoo.com
(listed on google products also)
e.g. try
geforce 8600gts - Google Product Search


They claim to stock some goods, albeit sometimes at strange prices

e.g. a new laptop for less than GBP40
Tehyoo - Toshiba Satellite L300-20W (PSLB8E-0GV00YO1) Toshiba Satellite L300-20W (PSLB8E-0GV00YO1) 9534
vs
PSLB8E-0GV00YO1 Toshiba SATELLITE L300-20W (Laptops Notebooks)
at a more realistic GBP400 (although out of stock)

I am a little concerned as the site does not seem completely legitimate. There is no SSL (security encryption) used, even though this is claimed in their T&Cs
Tehyoo - Conditions of Use
Tehyoo - Privacy Notice

On attempting an order, one is asked to fill the basket up to GBP50 or above, which rang a few alarm bells. Once I had completed this, I was asked to either use a cheque/money order, or transfer money to a bank account before goods would be dispatched.

Again, this could all be legitimate; I would just like some reassurances before handing over some cash.

Whoever is operating the site, is clearly a customer of both the Halifax Bank, and of splash plastic.

Thanks for your co-operation

Amazing how my brain just took it to be some legitimate and respectable thing to be quoting lol

And no Colin, sorry, no word from the faceless corporations of Lloyds banking and google...

Well, Merry Christmas, season's greetings everyone, Happy holidays! (I hope...)
