Default Experience with dexdigital?

Has anyone bought anything from www.dexdigital.co.uk?
I was asking around, and mainly it seems like a fraud...unfortunately I have
already paid for my camera

Thanks

Could you be a bit more explicit? Have you paid for goods and not
received them? If so how long have you been waiting and what steps have
you taken to chase the order? Or are you just worried about the tax
avoidance/tax evasion aspect of the way they do business?

I'm phoning whole day, but only answering machine replies, saying: "Person
you are trying to reach is not available"
They don't have office where you can buy merchandise, only using internet.
Plus I'm from another country.

They stated that for international orders they don't accept credit cards,
only Western Union.
So I paid WU and sent them confirmation code. Then no reply. Then I phoned
and emailed. And phoned and emailed. And then the next they only gotten a
one line reply: "Your order is being processed, thank you for your
cooperation".

For the entire time I couldn't get them on the phone, only answering machine
saying "Person you are trying to reach is unavailable". I phoned in regular
intervals throughout stated working hours (taking into consideration time
difference).

It was suspicious so i searched the internet and found that company
KeyDigital (to which they are related on their webpages / About Us) is
mentioned in context relating to fraud
(http://www.fairtradeauthority.com/key_digital_scam.php).

I also checked with Verisign and they are not their partner and they have
their logo on the webpage. They have My Account login on the page
(Dexdigital does) and it is not on secure pages. All very suspicious. I
checked with Western Union and confirmed that the money has been picked up.

I still haven't received any call from them or email. I paid 1300 USD and I
think I deserve more attention for my money.

Thank you for your opinion and help.

How do people keep falling for this? When you see prices that even
large discount stores online can't match that should be a HUGE warning.
What's amazing is that many items are below dealer cost. It's obvious
and you don't have to be in retail to figure it out.

Well, I wish you luck. Sometimes people get their stuff from these
places...sometimes not.

If you click on the [REFRESH] button under the webcam picture
you get a 404 error and a text box in Russian.

Very fishy.

And the product reviews appear on a dozen different websites.

Unfortunately this appears to be a scam.

There is no "London Business Centre" at the address quoted. That
address belongs to a specialist company supplying door furniture,
which has no connection with any "London Business Centre" nor with any
company or individual trading as "DexDigital".

That company has apparently received a number of complaints from
people allegedly scammed by "DexDigital". A company representative
quoted calls "now running well into double figures".

The OP may wish to try tracing the recipient of the money via Western
Union. However my personal experience of tracing funds sent by
Western Union has not been positive.

The lesson here is not to use untraceable payment systems such as
Western Union for purchases of any significant value. PayPal payments
to a verified PayPal address would be a better option.
