Is This Website Legit? Gummiwormsshop.com

Hi,

https://gummiwormsshop.com/product/apple-pencil-2nd-generati…

I want to buy an Apple pencil (generation 2) and a smart folio keyboard for 11 inch iPad pro. When researching on google I found this website which has apple pencil 2nd gen for AUD$174.40 with free shipping. Do you think this is a legit website? Has anyone of you guys have experience with this website?

Could you please suggest me any place to buy an apple pencil and a keyboard for a cheap price (used ones are also fine).

Thanks a lot!

      Do you have any experience with them? Anyway, they accept payments via Paypal which has buyer protection if something goes wrong.

        It's.

            @payton: I thought Paypal would protect my money :)

              @Techefy: Did you even bother to look up the address on Google maps to see where their shop is located?

            • payton on 14/07/2020 - 14:43

              @Techefy: they might send you fake junk
              harvest details you provided

              then you'll need to spend even more time to get your money back
              why bother?

              does the payment page take you to the real paypal site?

              • Techefy on 14/07/2020 - 15:23

                @payton: Thanks, yes it does redirect to the real PP

  • Jolakot on 14/07/2020 - 14:10

    I'd say no: https://www.scamdoc.com/view/309112

    Also the store's address is just a random house, and for some reason the language used for Google Maps is Vietnamese?

    • Techefy on 14/07/2020 - 15:13

      thanks

    incredible. do you think gummi worms have anything to do with electronic goods?

    • AdosHouse on 14/07/2020 - 14:34

      …….they're nice to eat while using electronic goods?

    • Techefy on 14/07/2020 - 15:14

    The address does not exist - There is a No 10 which is a house but no 10-8 Birkley Ct
    The mobile number listed is disconnected (yes I rang that number)
    The site looks like something cobbled together in 30 minutes using a template.
    Google maps in Vietnamese.

    ….And you still keep on questioning about the legitimacy of this website and paypal willing to protecting you.

    • Techefy on 14/07/2020 - 15:14

      thanks for the details

    Probably not. The owner has two websites and they are both hosted on a home server. Both website have whois protection and there is no ABN registration on the address or mobile.

      thanks

    Oh dear.

    School holidays again?

    • Techefy on 14/07/2020 - 15:13

      why is that?

      • websterp on 14/07/2020 - 15:33

        Yep! Definitely not a school day.

        • Techefy on 14/07/2020 - 15:39

          What's wrong in the post, I would like to correct it.

    Why would a store called GUMMI WORMS SHOP be selling tech stuff?

    • Mattmattmatt on 15/07/2020 - 08:11

      Well they want to buy an "Apple" pencil, so there is precedent for a food-based company name.

  • HeWhoKnows on 15/07/2020 - 10:16

    The mobile number is not in the usual format

  • Tigercjn on 15/07/2020 - 17:52

    buy on Ebay

  • Jadeja on 16/07/2020 - 10:32

    this isn't even a real store and doesn't have any stock. They list items on their site slightly cheaper than officeworks to avoid too much suspicion. Then when they make a sale, they call officeworks to do a pricematch with customers details and dropship the product straight to the customer. Therefore making a (very) small profit. It's just a theory i guess. could be true. similar to Jasormart in QLD.

    I bought an apple tv 4th gen for $160 from this website on July 1 and it came three days later from Harvey Norman. Go figure.
