comet offer

I got an email yesterday supposedly from Comet online, it looked like the normal site, it says that from 12noon to 3pm there will be a 40% discount, three hours only whilst stocks last etc.

Anyone know if its real or is it one of those more professional looking scams.

What's the web site? Who registered it? When was it registered?

Sounds like a scam to collect credit card details.

This is the address that came up, it looks exactly like the comet website normally looks?

Edit: was I allowed to put that here, if not delete it.

Not sure if its real so don't buy anything from my link here!!

I'd go with "buy it"!

Ten minutes and counting...I wonder which items will be discounted.

There's nothing to interest me there [:(]

The items are up, and the Toshiba 26" widescreen I wouldn't mind having isn't there [:(].

Aircon unit for £149.. sounds like a bargain but can't compare the price as no one else sells it [?]

http://www.4air.co.uk/tc-9000r-8-500-bt ... 68037.html has a higher btu but is approx the same. I used to pay around £1000 for these 6 years ago...

We were looking last summer and prices were ridiculous, but that was when temps were hitting 35 degrees [:0]

Homebase have one with higher BTU and a timer for £170 so Comet doesn't seem like quite a bargain now. Oh well...no surprise [ii]

That Sony TV is good, but the 1080p one will probably be a similar price in six months so I will wait.

It just goes to show how all the scams and spams affect business, I was thinking the whole thing was likely to be a fake website. Unless its sorted legitimate business on the web will suffer.
