Experience with dexdigital?
In article , says...
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 It's a scam. Site looks identical to a previous one going under the name of mobileinc.co.uk/ e.g., using the google cache: http://66.249.93.104/search? q=cache:OExfGps59CkJ:www.mobileinc.co.uk/index.php Ian -- Ian Riches Bedford, UK |

Straight from http://www.westernunion.com/info/faqSecurity.asp 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. Oh, your (former) _money_ got all the attention, and is probably converted into pure fun right now. If you are lucky, you'll be told that your money has _not_ arrived, and are asked to pay again. (With much the same results, except that they'll be laughing hard enough to get muscle cramps.) However, your local police or attorney's office may pay your _story_ some attention. If you are lucky. Thank you for your opinion and help. Call it learning money. For just a handful of dollars extra you may have taken it home from the store. -Wolfgang |

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". 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. well sorry old son but you have done your dough, never ever use western union to buy ANYTHING!!, it is primarily used to wire money to a friend or relative, ie; someone you know, what you have done is you have walked up to a total stranger in the street and handed them $1300 and walked away, you have no comeback whatever. even ebay warns people not to use western union, if I see a seller only wanting to use WU I go elsewhere. |

Not accepting credit cards means you have NO security whatsoever against fraud. 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. So you did all of this research AFTER you paid for your item through a dubious payment method? Why couldn't you have done all of this BEFORE you made your purchase? 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. I think you've just learned a $1300 USD lesson. Or, maybe you haven't, who knows? Your demand for customer service from a rather obvious sham operation, leads me to think you're about as much in denial as when you gleefully wired your money into oblivion. And even assuming you DO get your merchandise, I take it you could care less about the warranty probably being void? I sincerely hope the price was "too good to be true" for you to have been motivated to go through all that effort, evidently knowing full well you could have ended up with nothing. And while my tone sounds harsh, you have to realize that it's people like you, willingly suspending disbelief to chase a deal from merchant in another country from where you live and sending money with absolutely no recourse whatsoever, that keeps fronts like this in business. -- E-mail fudged to thwart spammers.

Just as a joke I sent Dexdigital the following....and got the answer you'll see at the bottom. As you might guess, no one has 9 D200 bodies lying around. Pretty sad. Looking for 9 Nikon D200 bodies and possibly 4 18-200VR lenses as well. Can't get them here. Do you have any in stock? Barry F. NY, USA Dear, Bobsprit. Yes, we have in stock. --- Best regards, Karl Rogers DexDigital Sales Department |

And then, just for the hell of it....sent the following, not that it will help anyone.... Karl, or whoever you are. You have no Nikon D200 bodies because I work for Nikon. We are expanding our efforts to curb fraud in a cooperative effort with Canon. The real question is, why are you trying to steal money from people? If you're smart enough to do what you do, why not make money legally without HURTING PEOPLE? Are you happy with your life and how you take from others? If you have family, are they proud of what you're doing, stealing from students, parents and hard working individuals? You should really reconsider your life's plan and goals. Best of luck. Capt. RB NY In any case, I feel for the guy who got ripped off. But there's a ton of info online to help folks avoid such scams. BUYERS BEWARE. Good luck out there! Capt RB |
