Yet it's managed to get into the Today's offers section on AVForums!!

See TH-42PX80.

Discuss!

Why are they dodgy as hell?

They dont take CC cards looks like western union ,bank transfer etc just a big scam surprised the site is still up and running.

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.

**Stuart Wright** · 23-02-2009, 2:31 PM

I have heard back from Pricegrabber and DigitalTechMart have been delisted.

I have just cancelled my order for 42" W4500 - they also managed to get listed by Which? compare

Stubarnez · 12-03-2009, 6:51 PM

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?

*oakie* · 12-03-2009, 7:05 PM

Here is a thread from not so long back witch i think is about the same place.
DIGITALTechMart.com

Stubarnez · 12-03-2009, 7:26 PM

ah cool cheers for that!

No way in hell that I am going to pay for something that is a few hundred quid using bank transfer. Credit card all the way to be safe.

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.
