Sketchy. Beware! Porta Gadgets uses a payment service called moneybookers.com. Transactions are CASH ADVANCES on your credit card. You will most likely be charged a heavy transaction fee ($5+) by your bank and you will be CHARGED INTEREST on the transaction immediately. I believe moneybookers.com is primarily used for online gambling and other less savory online activities.
They sent me an email asking about address clarification. Replies were rejected by their mail server. I tried contacting them through their "Trouble Ticket" system. No reply. I called and left a message on their US number. Still nothing. I finally sent an email to the actual sender's address (porta.support@hotmail.com) asking to cancel the order. The reply (from Anne) said that canceling would incur a "25% restocking fee".
They got me this time. I will NEVER order from them again.
