Extremly cheap - any experiences

#1 Post by wernerem » Mon Mar 31, 2008 10:35 am

Hi there,

I just found an extremely cheap seller of factory refurbished thinkpads: www.jxelectronic.com

Any experiences with that company? Would you by there? What do you think of paypal (they only accept paypal) in cases of trouble?

So may questions ...

I Googled for "jxelectronic" and got only five hits! For comparison, "newegg" gave 10,700,000 matches. It's a scam. Don't even try.

The website looks 'funny' to me.. especially their about us page and their @hotmail email.. they have their own domain yet no mailbox?

Hmmm...
Enter a credit card number to a site with hotmail as a main contact....

RIGHT.

NOT.

Couldn't click off that site quick enough.

To me, looks like the real business they are in, is snatching money from people's paypal accounts.
