gizmograbber.com scam or not? Please.
I have been after some info about www.gizmograbber.com
This B2C site looks promising. Did anyone check it out?
The car video and mobile phone there seems good.
Thanks. |

It's just fake Chinese junk, they even say so. Quite expensive for fake stuff too, fake N95 usually costs around $400:

The Verisign/BBBOnline seals etc... at the bottom of the page are also quite fake, real ones have links back to their respective websites. It's possible they deliver, but I wouldn't count on it.
They do take payments by credit cards which means you can at least do a chargeback if something goes wrong (but check with your CC company first). However, they seem to expect you to enter credit card details on an insecure page:
http://www.gizmograbber.com/payment.asp#creditcard
This is a bit insane, real companies normally use SSL in order to protect customer information, but they don't have any.

Hmm... they also decided it was a good idea to spam our forum:
http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/...ad.php?t=20799
Legitimate companies of course do not advertise by forum spamming.
Hmm again... johnnyzq here signed up with a Chinese IP even though he claims to be in the US, and used the email address shawns@vanaccess.com
Now compare:
http://www.gizmograbber.com/images/gizmo1.gif
http://vanaccess.com/uploadfile/Image/vanaccess42.jpg
Two signs, same people, same company. Both domains are registered to the same PO box in California. So I would guess this was just some stupid attempt to promote his own shady business by pretending to be a customer. Always a very bad idea on this website.
You're now banned. Obviously dealing with either of these companies would be a bad idea.

 Nice cross posting Daneel. That'll really screw these scammers in the head, and hopefully the pocket too. |

Johnny really is not having much luck with his spamming on other forums either: http://forums.steves-digicams.com/fo...jump_to=929594
