SCOOTERDOG Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Wow I just found a price for the infocus SP4805 from the electronic mall. They have it listed for only $499.00. I sent them an email to confirm this price. My gut tells me that someone forgot to add a 1 in front of the $499.00. Will see what they say.

elgrillo Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 yikes that site looks shady as hell. Whenever I see that hand shaking pic I get worried. Ya that HS 20 price is a killer price. I highly doubt that this place is legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwillwalk Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 i paid 1225.00 for my 4805 so i dont think it will be better than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 No I have never bought from them and don't know anyone who has. I was searching the web for the SP4805 and found them. I sent an email to them so I'll see what they have to say. If the price is legit then I will buy the 4805 and cross my fingers. We will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 Iwillwalk...Where did you get it for that price? I know the Shopathome.com has it for 1599 with a draper screen but everywhere else I have found it's been 1499 with no screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaDude Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 You did notice that they are based in London, England. Maybe the prices are in "Euros"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 I did consider this. However, they do have there prices marked with a US Dollar figure and not the typical British "£" disignation. They don't use the euro in england as the general currency.

Beetlejuice Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I bought mine from AVScience. The price was $1399 including shipping. Be careful buying online, not all online dealers are authorized. Infocus will not honor the warrenty from unauthorized dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eq_shadimar Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I would not have any contact with these people. First there is no shopping cart, second and most important the Verisign logo does nothing. If they were really Verisign certified by contract clicking on that will bring you to a Verisign site. I am just guessing that after you contact them that they will say they only take Western Union money orders. No credit cards. You will send them the money and never hear from them again. This is a common scam to lure in Ebay buyers as well. Buyer Beware on this one. Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htxpert Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hi Being an Infocus Screen Play dealer I can tell you that the $1399 price listed above from AVS is just slightly above dealer cost for new "A" stock 4805's These projectors have small margins to begin with.

the_psycho Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 OK, so here's the information I've managed to gather from their website and my tools. First of all, the phone number that they provide traces back to a cellular phone that has a London, UK, exchange. As you may or may not know, most of the cloned phones sold in the world come from London. Next, I traced the website. It appears to be a premium yahoo website account, but not a yahoo sales account. If you want to do some more digging, the address is 66.218.79.147, and the server name is premium4.geo.yahoo.akadns.net. Finally, the 800 number they provide is an autoforward to some other, unknown number, and I don't want to take the time to track that one down too. I'd be more than wary when it comes to giving these people my money. Promising free shipping on speaker and projectors from the UK, thats a little much, even for me. I'd be sure and check with your credit card company about their requirements for international fraud complaints before you order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev313 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 It looks like someone copied the Crutchfield website. Check out the "Why shop with us" info. page on both sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 thats not 600USD, thatr smore like 1200+ its in LONDON! I had my creditcard in hand and then looked at the phone number and was like "DOH!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 hah, this site looks so sketch! maybe it is in usd, but then how could they sell it that low? I know the dealer price on the 48's is WAY more then 500 buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 psycho, I tried the links you provided but to no avail. In fact I even tried epinoins to see if there was some info on them. I sent them back an email asking how they take payment. If they take visa or mc I would be covered if it is a scam. But to be honest I may just say the hell with them anyway.

007 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 They say they have been around for 30 years and made millions of transactions, yet if you google search electronics-mall.org, you will get nothing! They dont have a visa or mastercard logo, and the authorized tags look fake. I wish this site was real, I would buy that projector in a heart beat for 500 bucks!

the_psycho Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 SCOOTERDOG, The addresses that I provided came from the DOS command tracert on the address for http://www.electronics-mall.org OK, so my interest got piqued. The address is a one year registration, and was registered on 08/21/04 by H. B. Jones. His given address is: H. B. Jones 13024 Horseshoe Trail Medford, TX 75180 The e-mail that he registered is elec_jerry@yahoo.com, and the phone number that he was forced to provide is (203) 222-3123. This number is not listed or published by ATT, but assuming it is a landline, it is located in Westport, CT, and is owned by the Southern New England Telephone Company. It appears that he registered the domain through yahoo! domains. So, in other words, there is no way that I could possibly suggest that you give this guy the time of day, let alone your credit card info. It looks and smells like a primo scam. And Kev313 is right, whoever it is copied a bunch of buttons and icons and stuff from the crutchfield site. Its a pretty slick scam though. The site is pretty well set up. Caveat Emptor. Especially in this case. And again, I don't know that Visa/MC cover you in cases of international fraud. You might want to call the number on the back of your card to be sure. -BK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
