I was in the market to buy a Samsung UN55D8000 LED TV. When I did a search on the Google shopping, this website came up at $1450 which was $350 cheaper than the closest competition. Their website seemed legitamate, advertising themselves as a Malaysia based company with offices in Seattle, therefore I placed the order on Tuesday night, May 1. I did not receive any email confirmation and 24 hours later, their website was still showing my order as "pending" I sent them an email asking for an explanation. They replied another 24 hours later saying that my credit company did not authorize the charge so asked me to send them cash through western union if I still wanted the TV. I thanked them and told to cancel my order. I got a call today from my credit company's fraud department who wanted to confirm a $162 charge from speeddate.com which I had no idea about. I only used this credit card for this electsonex.com transaction in the last 3 weeks. Therefore, even though I cannot be 100% sure, there is a very high probability that this is a fraudelent website. Buyers beware!
