Hi Posting for traffic, sorry. This company have a really good deal on something that is hard to get and twice the price elsewhere but wondering if its too good to be true as I've never heard of them. Anyone used them? Thanks

Well the reviews for it don't look great. I'd steer well clear. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Hmm thanks. I guess that's true. Oh well!

Have you checked TrustPilot?

This is NOT a safe site.

Unfortunately, you can’t always trust TrustPilot. Let’s take this site, NeedBargains.com, for instance. There are actually some positive reviews for it on top. However, they’re all dated Oct 14 and written by people who have only one review. Really? So three people signed up for TrustPilot on the same day JUST so they could write a positive review for just this website? No. They were most likely paid to write those. And I know because I used to see ads hiring people to do just this. So then you have one maybe trustworthy positive review (or sometime smart enough to use the same account more than once) and the rest are all negative.

Then you have the fact that when you try to look up the site on ScamDoc, they have tons of red flags: it’s a recent site (that explains all those Oct 14 reviews), they’re hiding behind cloud servers and domains so you can’t see where they’re based, and the site has a short life expectancy:

Sure, there are some legitimate sites that might look that bad on scam-checking sites, but not many. Combined with the (very likely) phony reviews, I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole and I wouldn’t let THEM touch my credit card, which is what they really want: your credit card and personal info.
