i have read their testimonials and their customers' testimonials are recommending their company but then they are mentioning some other company.

"I ve ben a loyal customer of Telecommunications Direct Ltd. for almost 10 years. They partner with the top cellular companies to offer the latest and the best products at the best prices. You ll be hard pressed to find this kind of quality at such reasonable prices.THANKS Mobile World LTD!!!!!! 21/2/2010 10:21:20 AM"

"My experience with Telecommunications Direct Ltd. has to be one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. The prices are really low. My order shipped out the same day. And, when I had a problem with one of the items I ordered, Telecommunications Direct Ltd. sent out a replacement and a pre-paid return envelope without hesitation. I highly recommend Mobile World LTDltd.com and I've every intention of shopping at Mobile World LTD.com 31/12/2009:36:19 PM"

If you are thinking of 'baiting' them, playing with them to waste their time and such, then don't! These scammers have your real live name and address, and you don't want to get some criminals angry. If you want to know more about 'scambaiting' i suggest to visit our sister site: 419eater.com There you can find all information about scambaiting.
They sure are scammers, the telephone number on the website is a +4470 re-direct phone number that will divert your call to any other phone in the world. It's not a UK number. The site is registerred for some years now, but seems to be used for fraud. I hope one of our fake site experts can give more insight in that.

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.

Hi there, welcome to scamwarners.

Sorry to hear you were scammed :(. I'm afraid there is little to be done to get your money back. I do advise you to go to the police and report what happened.

The site page.tl, of which you have the WHOIS, is a legitimate site which provides hosting space in their free subdomains. Basically this means you can ask them for a bit of webspace and the the adress of your webpage would become 'www.insertyournamehere.page.tl' I'm sure that the electronics site is only a few weeks old - tops. I've passed it on to get it offline, but it might take a bit more time as usual as there are more procedures to follow with fake electronics sites.

About the registration in companieshouse; that doesn't prove that they are legitimate. That only proves there exists a company with that name. Not that the site belongs to the same people.

If you're buying from a company never pay money to a private individual.

UK companies have bank accounts and if your money isn't going in to their bank account, you're going to lose it.

At the very least anyone buying from an online website must insist on paying money into a bank account in the same name as the company they claim to be. Doing that will keep you safe from the majority of low level online scammers.

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer

I've experienced the same ive.been.scammed. I paid almost $500, and now they are asking me to pay another $100 for the delay. They told me that Mr. Hassan is here and the goods are with them. I transacted the one in Nigeria. I think this people are some kind of a "group" in different countries. I've been studying every detail about them. I really want my money back too, but I think its impossible now. :(
