Even if this is a scam and you buy with Paypal, doesn't that mean you
are covered by Paypal and you will get your money back?

I have registered with these guys too whilst I did a bit of research.
However I will NOT be taking up the offer as I think the chances are
that it is a scam. The company (Irelands number 1 independent phone
retailer) were only set up in August this year, They give contact
details, but next to their phone number it states 'our phone lines are
very busy'' I.e. "You have no chance of getting through because we
wont be there".
Also this is what Paypal say for buyer protection on purchases outside
of Ebay: "When you pay with PayPal on any website, we can help protect
your purchase. PayPal's Buyer Complaint Policy covers goods that are
purchased and not delivered, but it's important to note that even if
the claim is justified, you'll only receive a recovery if there are
funds in the seller's account"
So as commented above, if everyone pays on the same day, by the time
you know you've been scammed they will have scarpered with the cash =
no refund.
I would advise to leave this one alone.
BTW, they have but the price up to €285 from €249 as well!

It appears to be the same company as blackberry-bargains.ie. I looked
at that site I don't see anything fishy there. The contact number has
the same statement against it but that might just be because it is the
same number as for ordering the Blackberry phones.
