I would avoid these as they are to good to be true, the simple fact the seller will only accept payments that cannot be stopped (or a method of protection ala PayPal) is a give away, its probably a scam, you part with your cash and get nothing in return - there maybe feedback, but ask yourself if it is genuine? -
If you want a unit, purchase from a reputable UK supplier - they cannot run off with your money - Mike |

And for your £40 you'll get nowt. They're hijacked accounts. The age old adage 'If it appears to good to be true it is' is good advice on eBay.

Yep, looks as dodgy as hell. All the feedback is from users who are no longer registered.
