Are you sure the mail is genuine? On their website I can only see Dreamboxes (and a warning against clones), no VU's at all.
Anyway: given the price and description I would stay away from the e-mail offer. See the sponsor's shop: there you're sure to get the real thing.

They say they are the Leading Distributer of Dreambox Recievers & Accessories for the UK & Europe should they be reported or somthing for selling clones as Genuine receivers.

I wouldn't touch a clone VU+ with a bargepole! I physically seen one, cheap and crappy manufacture and the heat generated from this rubbish is a potential fire hazard.

Also, I remember reading somewhere that someone said that clones invalidate insurance or something, so if you did have a fire and a clone box was to be the cause, then you might not have the insurance for it... (not sure whether this is true, but definitely not worth the risk if it is!)
