Nokia 7250i - UNLOCKED - SPECIAL PRICE: £116.68
COME ON GUYS - its a CON!!!
These phones are £370 in The Link!!
Look at the Terms and Conditions!! They can send you a different phone, they will debit your card with the REAL price as they do NOT guarantee the web price as it 'could' be wrong
ALSO you need to do some stuff to pay by credit card ... ie. they DON'T want a credit card payment!!
Leave WELL alone!
OR someone visit their Londan Address and see if they can pick one up? I will pay them to do it for me!

If you click on the Verisign logo a window comes up saying how the site is secure..... But the page is actually hosted on their site which suggests they dont have a secure site cert :-s

My daughter very nearly went for the Nokia 7150i phone from this site until I stopped her - she thought she would save her dad some money!
As said above, if the BIG boys can't get close to that price why should a dodgy looking company be able to?
At the VERY least it is a site that will send the phone as requested, BUT then tell you that the website price was wrong and in conjunction with their terms and conditions they have taken the correct amount from your card ............. and have you EVER seen anywhere ask for a photocopy of your card front and back AND an authorisation form filled in????
At the worst they will take your money and run!!
Leave WELL alone is my experienced advice!!
And, yes, who do you report a suspect site to??????????

For starters they can be reported to their host which looks to be yahoo http://webhosting.yahoo.com/.
Also you can contact the domain registar (http://www.melbourneit.com.au/) although they aren't always to usefull, However they may have bought the domain of a reseller of Melbourne IT.
These methods will only get the site shutdown, as for getting the site looked in to as a Legal matter I am not sure who you have to contact.

...So in the spirit of public duty
I contacted www.mphone.co.uk, told them about the site and received this response....
Dear Andrew,
Thank you for your enquiry regarding www.unlockedphones-uk.com
This is not one of our web site.
This is a web site that is using our address but the owner is based in the
USA. It would appear that they are fraudulently collecting credit card
information with no intention to supply the customers. The prices are a
fraction of the wholesale price we buy at and there is no way that any
company can sell at these prices and remain economically viable.
We advise you to stay away from them.
If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
Kind Regards
Ali
