Answer 1

yes there has been a couple of articles about fraud on them and other set up to take your money fake retailers, usually there billing is out of country to avoid prosecution, remember if you feel uncomfortable buying from anyone , don't , you are your besr protection/

Answer 2

Your gut is on the mark!  There are several websites which are popping up which appear to offer bargain basement prices on electronics.  What they all have in common:  they don't accept charge card payment; they only accept funds wired to them via western union when the order is placed.  They also generally have some bs on their website about a billing office in Europe that saves the customer money. huh?

If you wire them the funds, they have your money & you have... zilch.  You are at their mercy.  If they are a fraud (which is likely) & if they had accepted credit card payment, you'd at least be able to void the charge if you don't receive the item or if it was not as advertised.

You can check with Western Union to see if they've received any fraud complaints about Absolute Electronics--or other names it may be using to keep one-step ahead--but WU won't give you your money back if it's a sham operation.
