Scam or not?

Ebuyer deal looks to good to be true but i want to check before i write it off as a scam:
https://www.ebuyer.com/787796-lg-24gm79g-24-114hz-full-hd-gaming-monitor-24gm79g-b

It’s not a scam, it’s a UK company so you have consumer rights to protect you. I’ve used Ebuyer with no issue but never had to return anything, they don’t have the best customer service reputation.

I don't think it's a scam, The price isn't exceptionally cheap and the site looks pretty safe and well made

Is it a 114htz or 144htz?

That’s just a typo, other sellers have it as 144Hz https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-24gm79g-24-1920x1080-tn-1ms-144hz-freesync-widescreen-led-gaming-monitor-mo-14d-lg.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI37HQiOPX2wIVhQrTCh2W6wHwEAQYASABEgKc5vD_BwE

Oh I'm aware of that but I would have thought they would have picked it up as it's printed twice.

The E-buyer site has more than its fair share of typos and they're all too often repeated.
As an irregular customer ( I purchase from several UK sites ) I've not had any issues with them in the past apart from their sloppy proof reading.

I have had awful issues with them over a refund for equipment that died 30 minutes after plugging it in, it took 4 months for them to refund me, and even then I had to push.

This was just before DSR came in, but from reviews on consumer sites, their record for customer service hasnt improved.

As per usual, they get 5 star ratings in a lot of reviews because they are CHEAP.
