It doesnt look good at all. A scam!

If you want info of what other people have been saying about this site, see

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/view...php?tid=160933

But I was dragged onto that site by the offer of a £425 Asus Eee pad with keyboard for only £196

First I was tempted but then after a litle time searching info in the site I decided that something wasn't right.

I also tried contacting the site and it wouldnt let me. So if you have a problem you cannot contact them in any form except being directed to a site that has nothing to do with them.

I wouldn't risk it myself.

I read you comments after I Paid Buyitplayit and I was very much concerned so I messaged telling them How I felt about a possible scam. I have had several replies from them, telling me I am wrong (in detail) and asking me to show them one report of anyone has been conned by them. I couldn't as I haven't seen one. Since then I have had messages from them, update " it was being processed" then one update saying " Paid & delivered and the day and date when It will be delivered being 5/10/2011 and the courier UPS will be in touch with me closer the date. Obviously I still can't be totally sure but it is looking good. The delivery time is a long time this indicates that its coming from abroad. I think all must agree it is looking more Positive than negative. When the 5th of next month comes and goes I will let you all know the out come.

Hi, I also swopped emails with them and was assured there would be no import duty or VAT to pay. Will await your next update with interest. If these people can actually supply the goods at the prices shown some companies are making vast profits, but I don't understand why they are selling so cheap. Their prices are often half of anyone else.

I can only think, no hope that they are based in a far eastern country. So did you pay them as I did? Mind It does look kosher now and they do have a big web site. also they did taunt me my asking me to produce one person who has been conned by them and to be totally honest I cannot and it appears that no one else can. Like I said 5th of next month I hope to blaze it out that I have received my SSD hard drive, so fingers crossed

Default Scam Warning Buyitplayit

Never, Never ever do any dealings with Buyitplayit.org, or Buyitplayit.eu. I speak from experiance as I have been conned by them. They are bandits, evil thieves

If you do you WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY.


I find it bloody funny that I have searched the internet for anyone being conned by Buyitplayit.org/.eu and I have not found one single 1st party comment, mine is a 1st party comment for all to read. To stop these scammers can I ask you to pass this on so that it will be spread around rapidly so all will know and stop hard earned money being passed to these scum. copy & paste into forum post this will go a long way to stopping these very nasty creatures.

Default New Member problem?

I am at a loss to understand what is odd about being a new member and following thus topic. I joined specifically because this topic showed up on a google search and am interested in knowing if this site is genuine. However I have now found this post http://www.ukash.com/uk/en/alerts/bu...hem-ukash.aspx which appears to put beyond doubt that the site is a scam and any money paid over will be lost, assuming of course the Ukash post is genuine!

ALWAYS buy on the internet using VISA/MASTERCARD because credit cards have purchase protection if goods don't arrive. You only have to cover the first £50 but the credit card company will do all the leg work in trying to retrieve the money. Paypal is also good for protection and a lot of companies have started using it recently. Just ensure that you are actually going to PayPals site and not a site that is going to steal your login credentials. Must be httpS and not http when entering financial details. Also browsers like google chrome and the new internet explorer will have phishing protection and notify you if you're on a dodgy site (don't solely rely on them though).

The method of payments are a big tell tale sign. They cannot be reversed, as bad as dropping the cash into their hand or transferring cash using western union.

When buying on the web I always ensure that the company has a listed address which can be checked on google maps using street view if you are really unsure about the company. They should have a means of contacting them other than just email or online form. Bought something from an American company and was even able to call them before I purchased to no excuse. Google the company name/website and add review to the end, help you check their reputation. Be careful of dodgy review sites that people setup and create positive feedback for scam sites, it's all an elaborate ploy like the dodgy scoobynet users who are bigging the site up.

Scammer typically don't care if you catch them out. They're on the web so of the 100,000s of people that visit them they only need as little as 1% to fall for it and they will make a fortune. Same as the scam leaflets that come through the door. If 1 in 1000 call that number they will be well ahead.

If it looks too good it is. If you have given them your money don't worry, just right it off as a bad experience.

I would like to hear more about " like the dodgy scoobynet users who are bigging the site up" Do you have any actual evidence for this uninformed opinion or is it just right because you say so?
If all your advice and opinion is based on a total lack of facts I suggest you keep it to yourself in future.

buyitplayit.org, buyitplayit.eu & productsbiz.biz are all associated.

buyitplayit.org & buyitplayit.eu are registered in America
productsbiz.biz is registered in the UK

They all resolve to 173.236.125.155

The website is hosted in America by T-Mobile

The billing address used for the hosting and domain names is in Poland.

Basically stay clear. If you have paid them then you're unlikely to ever see you goods or money again.

Even the money transfer companies that they use as payment options have warnings listed on their sites about the above mentioned websites.

I would think that this should finally put this subject to rest

I have reported this to Action fraud a few minutes ago I didn't have to tell him who the scammers are, as soon as I said it was on line electrical he knew that I was going to say Buyitplayit as Action fraud have been flooded with complaints about Buyitplayit.

Eribar so do you trust them now, as Leslie said, short & sweet you are a plonker!

I never said I trusted them, in fact I posted the statement from ukash which says they are not a valid customer of theirs. You clearly have reading skill problems, and if the height of your intellect is to call people names you are probably better sticking to playing with cars
