I just purchased the two batteries from there, after a lot of trouble. It took me about three or four tries to get the order in (unknown error occured).
I paid with my credit card - and then I got a mail that can be read below.
Basically, they want a copy of my creditcard and a picture ID OR that I purchase their items AGAIN by paypal.
If I give them my credit card details they can use that to purchase more items on their site or another, they can make fraudulent copies of my credit card. I will NEVER give out copies of my credit card to any shop or person.
Another thing to mention is that the email came from
batteryspace2003@yahoo.com, but the reply-to is
sales@batteryspace.com.
I took a look at my bank account, and batteryspace is listed as "incoming purchase".
This is very very supicious...
I will keep you updated on what happens.
