Scam?
Has anyone tried https://www.outboardmarine.co.uk ?
Look extremely cheap but only take bank transfer.
Thoughts?

Just checked the CNP Awards for best ecommerce, a site for measuring success with Payment service Providers like Pay Pal etc,, not for outboard sales or transactions they were the winner so say.. go onto CNP Website and they are not even mentioned in 2015 as stated on the website
Best E-Commerce Platform/Gateway
Judges Choice Customer Choice
CNP Award Winner Chase
reckon its a scam

It's a real website. I know of 2 people, one who is a university lecturer who have bought and paid for Yamaha engines from this place..... Now looks like they have sold all there stock though.

I don't think he was trying to convince you it was legitimate see post 9
Usually if something sounds too good to be true it is
