Re: DigitalTechMart is dodgy as hell! But in Today's offers!!
Yes, I've had a good dig and it's legitimacy is rather dubious.
The offers of the day are run through price grabber so we have very little control over them but I'll make admin aware either way.

I see. I was rather hoping you guys weren't in league with these scoundrels! But you're not, so that's ok!

Absolutely not which is why I've made admin aware.
Unfortunately the only person with access to that part of the forums is currently away so I just hope people use some common sense before ordering with them.

Good work soldier! 
Fortunately their prices are too good to be true, which should make people look into them hopefully.

Thanks for the heads up. I have asked Pricegrabber about them, but I won't get an answer till Monday earliest.

Re: DigitalTechMart is dodgy as hell! But in Today's offers!!
Can someone explain to me why they are "dodgy"?
As far as I can see they are located in cyprus, maybe this is in order to avoid paying VAT prices or a tax haven strategy?

Re: DigitalTechMart is dodgy as hell! But in Today's offers!!
Well I've just created a new user account with bogus details.
Apparently they will E-MAIL with payment details and confirmation of my order to the totally bogus E-MAIL addy I used..  ..
I thought that any web site that you subscribe to has some form of E-MAIL address checker in place to tell whether you are indeed using a valid addy.
I just hope that people realise that they are fake and don't part with any money.
Graham.
