Has anyone heard of or bought from lgnikon.com they are a chinese wholesaler and have very good priced PS3 60gb. I have tried to order some last week, but when I tried to pay they said I had to use bank transfer or Western Uinion, despite telling me I could use paypal. After several days of emails they agreed that if I put in a much larger order (£1500) they would let me use paypal, which I did but then when I tried to pay paypal said their account could not recieve money. When I went back to lgnikon they said I would have to use moneybookers, for which I would be charged a fee. I have never used moneybookers before so I said no and cancelled the order. lgnikon have now come back to me and said I can use paypal and given me a different paypal account to put the money into. I am unsure whether to proceed with the order as £1500 is a lot to lose if something goes wrong. LillyBatten.

Don't do it! Moneybookers is a direct transfer. PayPal offers no protection outside of Ebay either! Sounds very shady

Stop. Do not send any money or that's the last you will see of it.
There are several post about being scammed by this site on the web. In addition, a "whois" search shows that they have only been registered for about 2 months. Also there is a registration blacklist report on the site.

Another huge red flag is that they use a free email service (yahoo). A legit service does not use free email services such as yahoo, hotmail, etc...

Also the fact that they want wire transfer is a total giveaway. It's also quite obvious that they were lying about taking paypal since they did not really have an account, even though listing paypal on their site. Alot of scam site use paypal logos and list paypal as a payment method to help lure buyers into a false sence of well being and trust. If they would already have had a paypal account your payment would have went through on the first try. What they did was agree to accept a paypal payment after you insisted and then tried to run and open an account, but you had already tried to make a payment to a non existant account...

This deal has SCAM written all over it..
