    I would never take a url that contains a hyphen in it seriously.

    If you look closely at the website, it offers no direct contact information; I would stay away from it.

    "Is electronics-cheapshop.com a legit site?
    The prices on electronics-cheapshop.com are pretty low - but the site seems to be in order - they accept credit card (but no PayPal), have a valid SSL - not sure on the address though.

    Has anyone had any experience with this shop before or does anyone have any ideas if it is a legit business or not?"

    "no, its a scam - i ordered something last week and have yet to recieve even a reply to my emails let alone any product!! also, i recently (today) was the victim of credit card fraud and had 1,300 dollars charged to my card from someone - not sure if it was them but wouldn't be surprised!"

    They are a scam! They are using authorize.net as their credit card payment but authorize.net has never heard of them.
