    I saw an advert on the back of yesterday's NZ Herald for DW Electronics
    Ltd, so I checked out their website today ... looks like a completely
    bogus operation well worth AVOIDING!

    Warning Bell 1: You have to register before ytou can see any prices.

    Warning Bell 2: The FAQ page is full of gibberish answers.

    Warning Bell 3: Claims to have been founded in 2015, yet
    the blog page only has two entries from 2021.

    Warning Bell 4: Their home page banner advert are advertising
    "December Party" discounts (presuamblay also
    from 2021).

    Warning Bell 5: Their own home page banner adverts all come up
    with 'page not found' errors.

    Warning Bell 6: It's all no-name Chinese stuff and from an
    import business supposedly based in London.
