The Arcis Company - TheArcis.com is a fraud and a con artist BEWARE

Over the last year I have received regular emails from a company, Cpdrive, advertising fantastic prices for Apple products. The emails stopped in December, but a couple of weeks ago I decided to check them out for some iPhones. What I found is that none of their URLs worked: www.cpdrive.com (http://www.cpdrive.com), www.compudrive.com (http://www.compudrive.com), www.cpdrivecorp.com (http://www.cpdrivecorp.com).

Also there were a few complaints on the Internet about sending cash and receiving no goods. There was one rebuttal from cpdrive, but the English grammar was so poor that I cannot believe that it was a native speaker, let alone the "Chief Legal and Council Officer" that it claimed to be from.

But there's more...

In January I started to receive emails promising also unbelieveable prices from a company called "The Arcis", based in Florida. I was suspicious so I checked the address. It was different from Cpdrive, but close by. There were no references on the internet for this company - supposedly trading since 1995 and now supplying fortun 500 companies - apart from links to it's own website from a couple of "business" registries. I tried a random selection of the directors on LinkedIn. Nothing. I then tried "Whois" to compare the domain registrations of Cpdrive and The Arcis. Surprise, surprise... Www.thearcis.com (http://www.thearcis.com) registration was created in december!!! Unsual for an an IT company founded in 1995 would you not think?

The site is quite convincing at first glance, and I am sure they will rip off many people before they get shut down.
