  1. Lol Hopefully that is sarcasm, as they are most definitely not legit, and in fact have conflicting information across their various profiles. We now have multiple confirmations they are a scam, from different sources. Do not buy from this company, and save yourself some stress and a call to your credit card company to revoke their transaction.
  2. lol @MichaelAtTCW thanks for the picture and follow-up! I believe this proves that the suspicion is true. So anyone who reads this thread, please beware of dirtcheapbarrels.com! They are otherwise known as oakwoodbarrels.com, and both are not legit! All you will get for your money is endless empty e-mails, no barrels, and not even a tasty hotdog!
  3. @Coriolis I did a quick check, and it appears that dirtcheapbarrels.com as well as oakwoodbarrels.com are registered through the same domain registrar (Domain Trustees UK Limited). So I am guessing there is a very good chance they are one-in-the-same scammer. You did dodge a bullet! Cheers!
  4. Hi there, I have not posted in these forums before, as I am a home brewer of beer, but I wanted to mention my experience with Oak Wood Barrels. I can also confirm they are most definitely a scam. I am from the United States, and I did some research into this company and they do not legitimately exist as a physical business entity. The Better Business Bureau has also given them a poor rating for not responding to their contacts. I also investigated the company itself, which supposedly has a head quarters in Ontario, Canada. They do not; however, and by tracing their IP addresses, and looking at their domain registration, I found they are actually located somewhere in Europe. If you contact them, they will respond immediately but note also how they have virtually no contact information on their web page, aside from the one e-mail address. If you investigate their LinkedIn profile, you will see they are very suspect, and all "leaders" of the company have strangely uniform profiles. Also there is a lot of inconsistent information about the company, with wildly different numbers. It is easy to see they are not legitimate if you look into it. Unfortunately I did not look into them ahead of time, and I did fall for their scam because as a home brewer, oak barrels at a good price sounds like an excellent deal. I determined they were a scam after placing my order, but canceled it immediately. They claimed to refund my money, which they did not do, even after several days of waiting, and going back and forth with them via e-mail. Eventually I was forced to get my credit card company involved, and did eventually win a dispute against them to get my money back. But that said, I wanted to post here to warn others of this scam site; you will never receive your order, and might have difficulty getting your money back.
