Does anyone have experience with BLANK ELECTRONIC (http://blankelectronic.com/about-us-2/)? Their prices are almost too good to believe and they on;y accept PayPal. I am concerned this is a scam website. Any info is certainly helpful before I make this purchase. Thank You.

I too was concerned and saw your thread as I was researching online. It seems pretty fake if you look at all the bizarre use of English across the site, including their "news" page http://blankelectronic.com/category/news/ that has an article of nothing but Lorem ipsum placeholder text as a post. I ran into another site with too-good-to-be-true furniture prices before I was aware of the fake site concept and it was not a good situation!

BlankElectronic.com is confirmed as a scam. I entered some made-up shipping info, but it never went to a billing or PayPal page. It went to this "confirmation" asking to instead email the "Roger" address directly with money:

Make a phone call to the company and ask all the questions you want.
Don't count on PayPal to bail you out of a bad buyer judgement situation.

That was as unhelpful as a response could be...and insulting to boot.
Thanks for your lack of interest in a sincere reply to my question. No need to insult someone who is asking the community for advice.

What is so unhelpful about suggesting you phone the company. I'm not going to do your research for you about the company.
You could learn a lot by making the phone call yourself.
Can you honestly think of a better way to check out the company?

A-ron,
Thank you very much for your response and interest in assisting.
Confirmed here as well. After conducting more internet research, the only websites that contain a reference to Blank Electronics are Blank Electronics web-pages itself. The Better Business Bureau has no history or information concerning the company, and there are no customer reviews or other information available online about them or their products. Their phone number is an Alberta, CA area code, but their address is Ontario and the website also lists a US address. After calling and emailing the contact information provided on their website - their phone number is disconnected and their customer service email doesn't work even when used from their own web-page. It is without a doubt - A total scam site.
