As per question really. They're showing a lens I'm drooling after as in stock and nearly £300 cheaper than can be had here.

Does anyone know anything about the company or have personal experience? It's a lot of money to risk but I'm so tempted ....

That kind of discount should definitely attract suspicion.

If you google the phone number, it's associated with multiple companies. For example,

Bentonville Mall

and you won't find that exact name in a Companies House search.

I'd be cautious.

Thanks for the response. It was all I needed to persuade me not to press the button ....

Unless anyone knows different, of course? But for the moment I'll hang fire.

It is a SCAM, do not use them. They stole MailboxUK address and used it as their own. Check the site:

Check MailBox UK - Mailboxes and Mailbox Services, Mail Forwarding, Nominee Director / Secretary, Notary & Apostille Stamps, Telephone Forwarding, Residential Mailbox

Just today we had 2 people come see the cameras just to be told we have no relation whatsoever to ProVisualDirect. Some people have paid and found out it was a scam by coming here, others have been smarter and showed up to make sure it was real.

So we confirm: ProVisualDirect IS A SCAM. They take address from other companies and use it as their own.
