is this website real? - Ammar - 04-08-2014 06:27 PM

I found an asus laptop for more than half of its original price, this is the homepage of the website:
http://www.tops-electronics.com
the laptop is extremely cheap and it isn't mentioned that it is refurbished. I want to buy this laptop, but don't know if it is a scam

The first thing to note is that the site is based in Indonesia.
http://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/tops-electronics.com
Registered contact, Technical email addresses are free ones.
The website is only 265 Days old
You see that in the "Contact us"
Address:
Jl. Hayam Wuruk No 45
Medan-Sumatera Utara
16112
topselectronics27@gmail.com

The website has issues:
http://www.tops-electronics.com/pages/Shipping-%26-Returns.html
The web page editing instructions remain.
Once you open the box, it is no longer returnable.

The items all seem to say "new", but the models are over a year old and the pricing is impossible.
Stolen goods? Refurbs? Ordered and paid but unshipped?
Getting money back will be an issue for sure.

At your own risk.

It looks like a dodgy site to me bro. You know the saying: If it seems to good to be true, it probably is. My advice would be to check the internet carefully for reviews about that site; if you can't find any that seem legit, that's definitely a bad sign.

Any site outside of North America I would avoid.
