    A G71G - A1 for £420 something smells fishy, but maybe a offer that cannot be missed?

    Some common sense beats posting a thread and asking oher people anyday ;D

    Seriously though, stay away from that website. When things look like they are too good to be true, it's probably because it is.

    Create a shadow credit card, or one time use number (call your credit card company) and use that. If its a scam, just flag 'em and tag 'em. Credit cards give you a nice piece of protection if you know how to use them. My father once bought pirated software (he didn't know) from a website with his card (not even a one time use number) and called the credit card company when he found out it wasn't the real software, got his money back. This is still about $480 for the G50 and $690 for the G71. Call your credit card company and find out there rules about disputing charges.

    Wonder if I just did something against the rules or enlightened a bunch of good folks. I should also say this site is so obvious of a rip off, good luck.
