Exactly….very strange…they must be something like http://www.fastslr.com , webshops that pretend to sell expensive electronics and photographic equipment at prices too good to be true…
The scam goes like this: They advertise expensive items for sale through what looks like a regular webshop. What distinguishes the scammers from other operators is that the only means of payment is an untraceable and unrecoverable method, such as wire transfer (e.g. MoneyGram, Western Union), E-Gold or direct bank transfer. Some variations of this scam display credit card emblems and list credit cards as a payment option, but if you go through the motions, you either end up with an error message (claiming that payment by credit card is temporarily unavailable), or a hi-jacked checkout page belonging to an e-commerce provider with lax security (e.g. WorldPay).
What a pitty…I am dreaming of a Nikon d80…:-) for that price i could buy it right away :-(((
