The following site (warning it is virused) https://www DOT mobilebooster DOT co DOT nz  is claiming to sell Mobile Phone / Cellular boosters for folks who have bad cell signals.

 

The product they are purporting to sell is quality poduct but that's where the good news stops.

 

 

 

Their product is logoed with Vodafone, Spark and 2Degrees logos. They are claiming to represent items authorised for use by those companies. However I doubt thats the case.

 

 

 

I first got suspicious when I clicked on an install instructions link and got a Go Daddy - you can buy this site message. THeir DNS works for http://www.mob....  but not http://mob....   No *. A Record.

 

Their contact us form caused Eset to throw a hissy fit as it has Kryptic / Js all through it.

 

Their phone number gets a Hindi speaking insurance company

 

THeir 24 / 7 chat doesn't work.

 

Their links also go to mob...co.uk and mob...com   and those are equally non useful.

 

 

 

Does anyone have any experience of these folks and does anyone know a truely legit place in NZ selling boosters. Vodafone are out of Home and Enterprise boosters they can sell directly.

 

 

 

Anyone from Vodafone know if these folks really sell authorized gear? Do they actually sell gear or is it a scam. THey are paypal registered - but not verified.

 

 

 

Vodafone / Spark / 2Degrees - you may want to investigate their use of your branding / logos.

A number of threads already on geekzone about these folks and warnings not to deal with them!

If you power up one of these units in New Zealand you are breaking the law
