is this company legit? check this link out. here also, if you think it is, are canadian and US playstations different? or are they the same region and all that?

If something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Brand new PS3 for $200 IS too good to be true.

EDIT: Cool based outta Calgary. I'll drive by there sometime and see if it actually exists!

EDIT 2: Wait, that phone number isn't a Calgary phone number. The area code in Calgary is 403.

I don't know prices are too good, Address looks like there is nothing really there, using MSN birds eye view. Probaly a scam. Cherows doesn't come up at all. Based in Calgary, but only currency is USD?

Rike255 · 02-25-2009, 10:32 PM

Oh and they only accept MoneyGram. I made a phony account and tried to buy a PS3. I wouldn't try this if I were you dude.

QUESTION: Why do you have so low prices? Do you sell refurbished merchandise or are the goods China-made imitations? It is too good to be true!

ANSWER: NO. All our products are brand new, not refurbished and not China-made imitations. We guarantee 100% quality, every product is tested by our professional and experienced personnel before shipping. All goods are delivered directly from the factories that is why our prices are low. We are not resellers.

Funny every product is tested by them.

This site look's bogus to me, look they say this in there :

"This site is controlled and operated by Cherows, Inc. from its offices within the State of Calgary, CANADA" What state of Calgary? Calgary is a city and there is no states in Canada, we got Provinces.

ThriceBB · 02-25-2009, 11:17 PM

well, it was for a friend. he asked me for advice and i figured people on here would know what to do. im gonna tell him its bogus!

Foggedaze · 02-26-2009, 08:12 AM

I must say thanks to all who contributed here. I too was impressed with the price, but knowing that what seems too good to be true usually is usually not, I ended up here while doing some research. After all the obvious things I failed to notice...Canadian company that accepts only American funds in their drop down menu, is based in the state of Calgary, and has a false area code...ummm burning, smoking red flag!! it was here that I just made my final decision to order it from Walmart for US$348.00. If you know of a retail source that sells it for less, please let me know. I created an account with those criminals just to see the email I would receive. I regret using my accurate contact information, but I guess I was holding hope it was for real. Yes, I know...shame on me! I suppose worse could have happened. I knew it couldn't be true...lol. Thanks again!!

Maintained by the Canadian Government?!?? LOL!!!

As well - their tel number - 1(506)870-8264 - it's based in New Brunswick. I called it and I got a message that their voice mail is full. No greeting, no nothing.

This is completly bogus.

Found this on yahoo answers:

It is. There was a site called Fasanstore.com previously that looked exactly the same, was called a scam by a lot of reviews like this, and sold the same stuff. Via moneygram.

Reviews came out saying it was a scam, poof, new website, new name, new suckers to send them money.
Source(s):
www.fasanstore.com
www.cherows.com

Stay away....very far away.
