Laptops that are too good to be true.

[BamaWrath]

Hello everyone, 

I’m fairly new on the forums but feel that this might be a serious topic to discuss since it’s not get much publicity elsewhere but here.

 I worry that people maybe falling victim to this type of scam. 

With that said, the website in question is stablemill.com. 

This isn’t the only site show it’s ugly face since Facebook seems to of failed to weed out these ads from their ads. 

I am from Alabama, and can confirm without doubt that 1109 Quarry Drive, Dothan, AL doesn’t exist. A quick godaddy search will show this. Since the page originally came from godaddy. 

Laptopshops.co as of this writing was on show for many to see. 

The sites are malware free however the prices are way to good to be true. With details seemingly way of on the specs of computers. 

 

The funny thing about it all is that no one has come out with any stories of anyone buying any of these laptops

(which I’ll abet is a good thing)

but none the less the question is what would you get if anything if you were to “purchase” from this site. Would it be an empty box, mobo, or would you get at least a functional laptop at all? 

 

Here is the lengthy CC info for processing.

btw there is no secure http....

Got to the billing page using my junk email and falsified information and found that it just started looking goofy. 

Table rate? Best Way? ?

after shipping was set the only payment option

(You guessed it right) credit card.....)

was telling me that payment method is Udopay....? Really? Lol!!

 

Anyway I didn’t go further because of the fact that I don’t have money to really waist or a bank account that I can just give up for an informational purpose such as this. I’d like to do it at some point so as to bring more notoriety on how much of a scam this type thing really is or isn’t but don’t have to much time or following for that matter to push it out. 

 

What do y’all think about this? 

Are websites like this way to common?

Where do they originate? 

And how can they be shut down?

I personally only buy from sites where you can pay with cash or credit card at the place. Well it has to be in your town. 

I always read reviews of these sites on the internet. 

If you need a laptop for a good price there is always used ones. I once saw a i7 skylake, gtx 1060 laptop for 500euros. You can always go check if its legit too, but be careful because you may find creeps there. Once i got a phone call with a private number and a voice changer, he told me he wanted to meet me with my ram modules that i was selling. I asked to meet in a public place and he just hung up the call. He also noticed i wasnt talking in a childish voice. Never heard of him again. 

But those sketchy sites with weird fonts and cryptocurrency and card only pay are not legit probably.

I only trust places like eBay or really big retailers. Not some shady website I never heard about. I either buy from trusted people online or in store retailers that I trust.
