Anyone heard of this place
Alter Computers - Mobile phones, digital cameras, lcd, plasma, gaming consoles, laptops, watches, etc.
Friend sent it to me, seems dodgy though.
Google doesn't really show up anything, one scam related post with no replies?

hmm - seems far too good to be true.
Just "ordered" a Wii from them.....
224 Euros (£150) THEN a discount bringing the price down to £137
I smells a rat. A place WITH Wiis available, AND offering discount!!!
Otherwise IF it is true, they'll be getting a lot of my business!

I reckon the worst regarding taxes will be VAT, they're can't be mport duties from the EU I don't think.
The friend who gave me the link just told me that his GF's brother ordered a PSP 2 days ago.
If the PSP arrives and he doesn't get shafted with charges then I'll be ordering stuff from them.
Here's hoping.
