Scam alert: All Digital Dreams

I just noticed that an outfit calling themselves "All Digital Dreams"
(http://www.alldigitaldreams.com) lists their location as "Fridtjof
Nansens Plass 17, 0160 Oslo, Norway". They are selling digital cameras
and stuff at prices too good to be true.

I live in Oslo, and the address they give as their location does not
exist (the street does, but ends at number 9).

The domain alldigitaldreams.com is not owned by oneone in Norway,
but a guy resident in Connecticut, USA.

Also, they don't accept credit cards, but insist on Moneygram. As most
of you probaby know already, Moneygram or Western Union payment is
like handing money to a hooded stranger in a dark back alley. It is a
sure sign of a scam. (Unlike credit cards, these payment methods are
untraceable and unrecoverable - you should /only/ use them to transfer
money to people you know and trust.)

In other words: This is a scam. Any money sent this company will
be lost.

When you say you live in the real world, which one are you referring to?

AllDigitalDreams just morphed into NewCameraShop
http://www.newcamerashop.com/ .

The site design, the too good to be true prices and even the location
on a non-existant address in downtown Oslo is the same as before, as
are - without doubt - their scam (you wire them your money - they
don't send you a camera).

Beware.

(Please don't bug the individual that is listed as domain owner in
WhoIs. All the precious scams - FineTronics, DigiBest to name the
best known - have been registred to names of people that have been
victims of credit card and identity theft.)
