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:

That's practically 100% proof of scam. CC cards can be
charged back --- WU cannot even be traced.

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.

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".

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.

That alone has scam written all over it. Not accepting credit cards
means you have NO security whatsoever against fraud.

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

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.

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?

Dear, Bobsprit.

Yes, we have in stock.

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.

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!
