The prizes is so low it has to be something wrong. sorry but i did not know what category to put this in
 
Dont think i even need to drive by. THe post code it claims comes up with barwick and an icon of this camera shop with the website. http://www.martinscamerashop.co.uk/contact-us-2-w.asp Far more sensible prices. Looks like the other website is trying to steal this shops identity.

Site like this won't accept paypal or credit card, at least the ones I have seen none did. A common trick I found, they make you believe that they accept credit card, but then they will say that there is a problem with the card system, and give you the bank transfer as an alternative.

Well, it's officially a scam - I e-mailed the real Martin's Camera Shop and asked if it was them. This was their reply: "No we have no connection with this bogus compnay they have copied our details". The website is still active, though.
