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.

Sounds like a scam to collect credit card details.

I'd go with "buy it"!
Ten minutes and counting...I wonder which items will be discounted.

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.
