http://WWW.logiteh.co.uk. (for purchase of camera equipment sources in Far East?)

I was advised against 8using as they request payment through WU if outside buying from UK even though Visa is acceptable within?.

Since the site now appears to be down.... I can only assume that it's a fraud.

London, E14 9SD, UK

Tel: +44 20-8816-8142

No such company at the UK Companies House registered, so it's 100% FAKE.

Hmm...., That's interesting. Those on the Right side are "Sponsored Links" and thus must be added (and paid for).

I guess GOOGLE is being exploited as well in this scams. I suppose like any business (legitimate or not), that they need to get their exposure too. The problem I see now, is that it can tend to try and legitimize a site that's actually a fraud.

I was checking out http://www.mobitech.co.uk and went to place an order. I entered details and on the payment page, my only choice was Western Union.

They claim that they cannot accept credit cards from International Customers so International Customers Must use Western Union.

So I went back and said I was from the UK. On the payment page, I got redirected to worldpay.com for payment. At the top of that page I noticed

FRAUD ALERT: anvidirect.co.uk
Please do NOT continue if you have arrived from anvidirect.co.uk
Contact email@tele-pro.co.uk for more info


So I looked at anviriect.co.uk and there are similarities that point to the 2 sites (anvidirect.co.uk and mobitech.co.uk) being the same. Not the least of which is their "Live Cameras".

Check out
http://anvidirect.co.uk/cameras.htm

and compare with
http://www.mobiteh.co.uk./cameras.php
