AVOID!

Found this site through Google Product Search. It looked sketchy. The SSL certificate expired a little over 1 week ago. But I had dealt with sketchy importers before and found others to deliver despite the sketchiness and poor English. I thought maybe they were just a small business without the means to make a decent website. The price was good and they claimed to offer local pickup so I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt.

That was a mistake. Shortly after purchase I heard from my bank's fraud department. My card had been duplicated and was being used on the other side of the country. I searched online and apparently this is a common occurrence after shopping at Electroprise. It is ridiculous that this place is still online after so many years of fraud and abuse.

Note at that all the positive reviews found on any website are written in broken English. There is not one well-written positive review. This place does not deserve its 5/10 rating.

Update:

In addition to ExoticPhone.com (now defunct), the site "Best NY Depot" (bestnydepot.com) is also run by the same people. I found this from the mail headers from Electroprise communications:

Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 206.214.219.113 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of eltronix@vps.bestnydepot.com) client-ip=206.214.219.113;

X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - vps.bestnydepot.com

Whois for 206.214.219.113 reveals another alias "GSM International Telecom".

It does seem that these guys do the same sort of fraud from various domains.

These guys are the same as Electroprise.com, ExoticPhone.com, GSM International. My email invoice from Electroprise came from eltronix@vps.bestnydepot.com. Please refer to the reviews of that site.

Basically they will charge your credit card, then use it fraudulently for some unrelated purpose, then they will cancel your order and tell you it's out of stock. This place is a scam. Avoid.
