Scam: Gadgets Ltd UK
I haven't checked whether there is a real company operating under this name, but I haven't seen a scam as blatant as this in a while. Nothing subtle here, just send money via Western Union in return for a false promise that you'll receive goods. If anyone has dealt with this clown, please tell us where he wanted the Western Union transfer sent. With a gmail address and a UK +4470 "forward anywhere" number, he could be anywhere in the world, but following the money is always interesting.

hi
does anyone know if expressgadgets.co.uk is legit?
theyre selling the apple iPhone 3G 16gb models for 300 pounds a pop
sounds ludicrous considering the thing is selling like hotcakes
Express Gadgets: expressgadgets.co.uk was registered on 01-Jul-2008, making it too new to trust without supporting evidence. If it looks too good to be true, it's probably bait in a trap.
Express gadgets is a scam!
Beware, i purchased iphone over a week ago and payed via bank transfer and they emailed me "haha"
The company in question exists but is indissolution, so it looks like someone is using their name. Below is creditsafe report on the company:

Is this true or not? I was also starting to believe that this offer was true but it is so cheap to be real. The name of the company is GADGETEE LIMITED. Iphone 432gb for USD$400. Buy 3 get 1 for free. Please let me know if is true or not. Thanks!!
There are many variations on this scam, but they all pretend to sell the latest and coolest toys at a too-good-to-be-true price. They just take your money and run. Don't get suckered into this junk: don't buy unless you have a good solid reason to think it's NOT a scam.
HI!
i have also sadly sent money to this clown, hoping to get the goods at a low price... well i didn't.
DID anyone who ordered from this individual reported it to the police??
hi
does any one know abt apple 360 they offered me iphone4g at 400$

Even if the company is real, are you even sure that the offer came from that company? There are loads of too-good-to-be-true (and NOT true) offers going around. Don't trust them unless you have good reason to do so.
i found out this add from a popular web site named dubizzle wher i buy a lot of products locally and i have asked my friend in Newcastle to check abt the company , i am waiting for his replay
It's good that you are doing your research. Does the ad mention what forms of payment they accept? An insistence on Western Union or similar is always a bad sign. Other alternatives are less conclusive.
Hey Robin, did you find any info about apple360?
I have an Update on your Bastard. check these sites out, He really had me going with a $580 Sony HDR CX700V
I almost bought into it until the whole western union part came around... then My smarts kicked in and said..."wait the fuck a minute" "?" "this has got to be the cleverest way to make money." I'm sure this person(s) are lounging off of the goods they collect from victims they deceive. good luck on your hunt.
