Oh deary, deary me.
Receptionist said she contacted Dabs about the rampant copyright violation. Dabs came back around and contacted us on the womenintech community (yay.)
Here's what they had to say:
re: pcpartsandmore.co.uk
Hi, I would be very careful of this company, dabs have been looking into this site, as its just a scrape of the current dabs site
The website claims to be PC PARTS LTD trading from Blackpool, and this is a address of a legitimate accountantancy firm acting as a company secretary for PC PARTS LTD, so far so good.
However, the directors of PC PARTS LTD are not aware of this website, the registrant of the website, is not aware she has registered the domain name.
The police are currently involved in getting this website shutdown, and trying to locate the actual people behind the site.

So, the alleged proprietors know nothing about them and neither does the domain registrar. Sound like an elaborate scam? I think so.
I tried to order myself a Wii and found that the website accepted my 'transaction' fine, even though the card number was made up. I suspect these guys are harvesting card numbers and not even trying to get money out of folks.
Despicable.
I am, however, enormously impressed with the response from Dabs. I've been a customer for a while, I think I'll continue :).

Mmm, Nintendo Wii. I was playing Madden NFL 07 on mine today.
I had a brand new Wii pass through my doors yesterday. Nintendo sent it me for free... but I already have one.
You should get one, they're ace. I can't wait for the online side of things to kick in. Pokemon is gonna be quality!
dabs.com should be a good site. Its run by British Telecom who i work for.
Hi anonymous :).
Yeah, I've been really impressed with Dabs. For some odd reason we get our deliveries from them really quickly.
I'm also really impressed at how fast they jumped on this and made an effort to contact various people talking about it in public.
I didn't know they were owned by BT though?
