I saw this website with amazing low prices. I was wondering if this was a scam, or if this shop is for real. Any one know the place?

I'd be very very careful if I was you, had a look at the price of boats and you can but a 65' motoryacht with twin 1100hp diesels for approx. $71,000 AUD. I can tell you for sure that you couldn't even purchase 1 of the engines for 71 grand anywhere in the world, let alone 2 plus a luxury yacht as well. Realistically that package should be closer to 1.5 million aussie dollars

adam, perhaps the yacht is just stolen and that's why you're gettin it for such a good price... in which case, go for it!! hahaha, just kiddin of course..

Looks like a scam to me

IPhone for $230??? here

Would you give them your credit card number?

[Pa_Yan]

Wouldn't give them my credit card details, but might visit them in 2 months when I'm in Bali again. The contact details are

PT Bali Tecnology Ltd,

Jl Sedap Malam No.128 Lt. 1/2
Denpasar
Bali,43885
Indonesia.

Inquiries product contact:
contact@balitechstore.com

Is this a real shop / adress, or should I surpass them?

[Bert Vierstra]

I already emailed them, email address is unknown, unfortunately.

When it looks to good to be true, it usually is.

Well lets see here. Every pic of every boat is not in Bali. One pic looks like a magazine,another pic looks like lake havasu but if they do have those floating around the islands at that price, they are Hot! Hot! Hot! ( ie. Stolen?),,,,,, I'll take two plz, with title search!!!

[froggy]

Oh, Wait. The english is too good. The discription should read like This.........Big boat , need to new owner, make you bold man with horsepwer to spare, paint with stripes give you good attitude for flair and personality. cost good price. Pay now, make you happy.

Pa_Yan, PT Bali Tecnology Ltd wouldn't be your company, by chance? I have the feeling you're using this site to promote your own business.

[Bert Vierstra]

No....

[Pa_Yan]

Well Matsalah,

Will forgive you your ignorance.
Do you know any shopkeeper that would ask if his shop was a scam? The prices seemed to be to good to believe, so that's why I asked if it was for real. Would have loved it when I would be able to get a ps3 for $ 150....

[spitfire]

I sent an email to come to visit them over a week ago to info@... and it was not rejected. No answer yet...

I know it's not good to cross post, but I'm not putting another forum down so hope it's ok to post this extract from BTF about Bali Technology...

To everybody that was interested in this "online store" and its unbelievable prices, just letting you know that it is a grand hoax. I have a friend in Bali and had him check out the address for me, its actually a rice paddock in denpasar. We all new that the prices were "too good to be true" Don't send your money to this man as he is a crook and needs to be jailed.

Hey boli

I have a friend in Bali and had him check out the address for me, its actually a rice paddock in denpasar..

Who is your friend?

Just out of interest, I tried to find the place this afternoon. Jalan Sedap Malam is one of those 'streets' in Bali where the numbering 'system' is ridiculous. 30 meters from one end, it goes from 1-2 to 500...just like that. When I got to the '100' or so numbers, wasn't much better. I 'found' Number 129 - any reasonable person would think Number 128 would be pretty close. It often doesn't work like that here and to tell you the truth, I still don't understand why.

My favourite worst numbering street is Jalan Gatot Subroto. Try and find something there. Takes years of practice.

Then again, the street where I live starts out with number 30 at one end...my place is right at the other end and it's supposed to be number 32. Go figure.

After years of living here, I am still amazed that I get any snail-mail at all.
