Yesterday, I was shopping online for a 17" Macbook Pro laptop, and I happen to find what I need for $1,900 (the Apple store sells the same thing for $2,700). This looks like a total bargain, but there's always something telling me that there could be a catch to this.
So here's the catch.
I started ordering the laptop, but when I got to the payment part, their only paying options were a bank transfer or Western Union.
There just seems to be something fishy about an online store that doesn't allow credit cards, especially when anyone can use Paypal. Why bank transfers?
I went ahead and ordered it, choosing Western Union, but I haven't sent them any of my payment info cuz I'm very skeptical. They sent me payment instructions in my email, and I'm supposed to go to a Western Union office, and send $ to their address.
This is the website that I ordered it from: www.onlineelectrogifts.com
I don't want to buy this until I can get some testimonies from their buyers. Is this a scam?
