In addition to the other answers you have:

https://www.flamingo-electronics.net/

The top picture on their info page does NOT look like it has any
computers in the shop!

The company logo is different on the two shops.

Strange to just have one branch in South London and one in Milan.

If you download the second picture and enlarge it, it looks like the
name has been Photoshopped.

That logo looks familiar too:

If they are in UK and Italy, then why are their prices in dollars?

Payment?

"If your order is under 5000 $ USD the only available payment option
will be transfering the money through WesternUnion service
(www.westernunion.com)Reliable, fast and convenient. Millions of people
trust Western Union. "

Haha!

It gets better:

"If your order exeeds 5000 $ USD we can use an escrow service like
LegomEscrow.com . In this case contact us by e-mail with your order. You
will have to sign up at legomescrow.com in order to complete the
transaction."

Look at it!

Back to Flamingo:

They have a Verisign "click to verify" logo - it doesn't do anything.

And finally:

Domain Name.......... flamingo-electronics.net
Creation Date........ 2004-09-26
Registration Date.... 2004-09-26
Expiry Date.......... 2005-09-26
Organisation Name.... Nicolette Maxwell
Organisation Address. 1 Thorndale Court
Organisation Address.
Organisation Address. South Elgin
Organisation Address. 60177
Organisation Address. IL
Organisation Address. UNITED STATES

Doesn't match any of the names or addresses elsewhere and a quick Google
doesn't come up with anything at that address, though the street exists.


You haven't given them any money, have you????????

I thought I was being cynical at first, but there's no way they can
possibly be legitimate!

Anyone fancy trying the phone numbers?
