Check this link... http://mobilewolrd.com/Index.htm
I am wondering if this is a fake site where some people use to cheat people... Can anybody find rating for this store?

I don't know about you, but I won't fork over $1000 to a company that can't even spell its own name right.

The company's name is MobileWorld. The domain is mobilewolrd.com

Nor can they spell their address correctly! For those of you not familiar with Auckland "Symons" street should actually read "Symonds" street.

Yeah this must be a scam. No real business would rely on a domain that is a spelling mistake from another domain.

If you want to make sure, call Jake up and ask him for yourself ;)
