Scam site?

Post by Svscott »

Hi All

First time posting. Have been going through numerous threads for a couple weeks now and have found a wealth of information so thanks to all for indirectly helping me out. Have decided on a brand of gasser but have come across a site that seems too good to be true in pricing. I'm looking at a weber summit e670 but this price just seems too low. https://www.barbecuecity.com.au/weber/1 ... -e670.html $3000.00 cheaper than retail........I find this hard to believe.
Has anyone had experience purchasing from this site?

Cheers
Scott

Yeah. Have been searching for weeks and then all of a sudden this site appears from no where. Can't find any company information online or an ABN. Way to suss.

Give Weber a call to see if they are an authorised seller.

I clicked on the contact tab and it came up as SORRY THIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

So...I reckon you should avoid this seller like the plague.....I'd be wanting a seller i can contact.

Stay right away from this one.

I had a computer guru I know have a look in the background at these people and they are in China with a rented ISP in Australia as the front. They are probably the same ones ripping people off a few months ago and will continue to do so. Their ISP will remove them soon enough.

Go to a shop safe in the knowledge that if something goes wrong you can talk to someone about it. The internet is getting to be a minefield when shopping and after a few dodgy deals I very very rarely even consider purchasing anything that way now.

Just clicked on it now and it does come up 'looking' like a legitimate shop
however the phone number is an OUTBOARD motor service center and I don't think they sell BBQ's :roll:

Yes. The site certainly looks the goods but those prices were a give away....literally. One to stay away from good people.
