Lavamus payment site *******.com looks dodgy - 07-09-2008, 11:12 PM
I'm pretty suspicious of the Lavamus payment site, netbutpro.com.

Just googled it and all I get is the site itself, this forum and one Japanese site regarding mp3's.

Googling the company name quoted on the contact page "******" does not yield anything reassuring about its 'net commerce' credentials.

Furthermore, if you stick the postcode (******) into a map site that covers UK streets like multimap.com, it doesn't correspond to the quoted street name, ******. So the address looks phoney.

Dodgy.

I do understand your concerns regarding a mismatch in the address and postcode for Netbutpro.

I have a ongoing payment issue with Netbutpro and Lavamus has provided me with the following alternative solution: -

If you have a paypal account you can always send your payment to *******. the minimum payment amount is 19.95. just mention your login email when payment is sent.

Lavamus also confirmed that you will receive any discounts and/or bonus tracks that may apply to the level of deposit but that this could take a few hours to appear on your account.

Hope this helps.

Perhaps Solaris/Nightfly could remove the reference to Paypal, but PM it to anyone who needs it, just in case the Music Police are watching?

To be honest it is probably legit.

It's also likely its either a small-time firm, and/or a cover-up for those running shall we say questionable stores to offer easy payments. We are all aware how hard it can be for these music stores because of its 'gray legal area' outside Russia/license issuing country.

As for the post code/address issue, their contact number is for outer London, which matches the postcode.

As ever, with whatever website you give your card details to, just make sure you check your bank statements on a regular basis.

I'm not 100% sure but I also think that the SSL cert issuer or the company that actually provides the payment solution should run checks on them first before issuing it?

Well solaris has star'd it away, but if you are going through to what I am, a blue page and whose name is a pun of sorts, then I am given the option to pay via card or via PayPal. Its the 2nd option. Can you see that one?

Benv,

I do appreciate your input to this forum
but that goes for You as well...

No discussions about payments for the smaller sites upon their request.
It must be honored for the sake of all!
Thank you...

Hope you understand.......
