I was looking for good deals for the recently launched samsung innov8 when I saw these sites advertising unbelievable deals.

The regular price for this phone is upwards of $500-550 but these guys offering a steal. I established contact with them, they claim to be based in the UK but their English implied otherwise, lot of typos in their emails.
They prepared to accept payments only through western union or money gram which offer little to no consumer protection.
Thoughts?
Thanks for your responses…
One of em has agreed to meet a friend of mine in London and transact in person and the other is ready to use paypal provided I order > 10 items.
I know that the likelihood of these guys being cons is quite high but yet want to see how safe can I be while dealing with them…besides the phone is just amazing specially at the price

No way mate stay away from them! On a product like this a ridiculously low price means something is wrong. And look at their website, its a load of crap - no decent company would sell from a website like that.
Avoid like the plague!

Mate, play it safe and buy the item from a local shop even if it means paying a higher price. At least that way, you know that it is a legitimate business and if anything goes wrong with the product you will be able to either have it replaced or at the very least have it repaired for free or minimal cost. If the worst comes to the worst, buy it off Ebay because that way you will have Ebay and Paypal protection.
