Has anyone ever heard of or done business with General Communications Store? I ran across a their page for an N900 for $350. I keep reminding myself that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...

Anyone know about this outfit? Because if it is legit, I would snap one up for that price.

Home page says..."In business since..., our mission is to provide the best..." um? Looks shonkey....Beware!!!!

If retail price is $320, how in hell do you save 30 bucks if the price is $350?

Sounds like a poorly made scam site.


Whois tells us all we need to know about this outfit, me thinks.

Conclusion: Don't trust them!

Uh huh...and further checks shows the site is allegedly in the UK. Why are they dealing in dollars when they have the GBP and Euro right at their fingertips?

Thanks guys...Too good to be true.
