it comes as no suprise when you find that almost all the GPU's are out of stock on these known e-shops, however when you look at gadgetgeekco.com all of their GPU's are in stock and very affordable, to me it sounds a bit suspicious and good to be true. It looks as if this website is not affected by global GPU shortage, so my question is, has someone bought anything from the said website? is it legit?

Hellopeter reviews look suspicious and look to be made by the same person. Their website has the following about their contact info:

Being scared of getting scammed i would love to hear anyone's input regarding gadgetgeekco.com legimacy

I was eyeballing the RX 5700 XT which looks to be in stock as the screenshot shows

Everything points to Gadgetgeekco being a scam. I almost fell for their google ads until I realized their prices on the items I wanted were below cost. At first I was taken in by the “reviews” on hellopeter. Then I realised that the positive reviews were clearly dummy reviews.

What I find troubling is that I have reported these reviews to hellopeter days ago and despite promising that they would “investigate them further and take the necessary action” they have taken no visible action at all. At the time of writing, all the reviews are still on the hellopeter site. Even more troubling is that Google Cache shows that hellopeter has deleted a host of negative reviews warning others of the fraudulent nature of Gadgetgeekco. Is it unreasonable to start wondering if there might be something going on inside hellopeter? Since this incident I don’t rely on hellopeter anymore and frankly, my opinion of them has gone way down.

When you browse around you will find many posts reporting Gadgetgeekco as a scam.

Good luck.

I had a look on the internet about this website and as above the fingers are pointing to a scam here. Just seems to good to be true. The reviews on Hello Peter also doesn't add up as the 5/5 reviews are practically on the same day but then the bad reviews I see there are saying something what many are saying already.... items not being delivered. So I would stay away from them too dodgy.
