    I really sceptical about whether they are legit or not, googled them and that and there is little to no info on them. Their pricing seems way too good to be true and the lack of info on them really points to this being a scam of some kind. Still though, you never know! Just wondering if anyone has had any dealings with them?

    Yeah quebaystock is actually mentioned in a comment at the bottom of that page HBK. Thanks for that! Just bought an LG Viewty with Meteor anyways, I hear they're fairly trustworthy!

    hmmm , how's the viewty handling at first looks?

    I ordered it off the website, so I won't be getting it until some time during the week. I'll let you know how it goes, I've read good reviews but I don't see many knocking about so it's hard to know, fingers crossed!

    I smell a scam.

    Some of those prices are ridiculous - the Nokia Carbon Arte costs over €1,000.

    Either they're selling copy phones or they're just taking your money and not sending you anything in return.

    They're using the Yahoo logo to attempt to instil confidence in people. There's no contact address, no contact number, no company details, no names of contact people, a generic Ymail email address.

    Had a quick look at the site anyway and noticed this when I put a phone in the basket:


    quebaystock.com is not open for business.

    Ordering is allowed for testing purposes only.





    Seems a little strange.... :confused:
