Q. Can I order by credit card?
A. Unfortunately we do not accept credit card orders due to the overhead associated with credit card processing charges, and pass these savings on to our Club members.
This is extremely dodgy!!!!!! Any online store that doesn't allow credit cards, but yet want your banking account numbers etc is at the least suspicious....
I did some quick looking around the web. Some things I've found:
* many people find the no-credit cards stuff extremely dodgy; they only accept checks online... hmmm... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
* they apperently stole the Monster layout (whatever that is, dunno if this is a valid argument)
* "in bussiness for 10 years", yet when you do a whois on the site you'll find an address of a small PO box
* "in bussiness for 10 years", yet googling for it doesn't turn up any results....
* "in bussiness for 10 years", yet no telephone support? only email support? yet you can place orders by phone?
* "the special offer that was to expire at 12AM is still there." <=== and this was posted long ago in some thread on the web...
* the "expire at 12AM" is a plain old image
* the "expire at 12AM" text is done by a plain (bad written) javascript routine which begins with:
code:
mynewdate=new Date();
mynewdate.setTime((mynewdate.getTime())+(86400000*0));
For those who don't know Javascript, it takes constantly your current date and adds some hours to it!
* Recently released and brand new products are offered as liquidations?
* The secure submition forms aren't secured at all, everything is send in plain text...
* etc... etc...
