Please does anyone have information on <removed> or <removed> They appear to be selling very discounted products almost too good to be true.   I would like to ensure people are warned against these sites which aim to collect your data

Hi all,

 

Another website top look out for is https://www.karfageonline.com

 

Purchased two items for £60.53 but charged £70.51. Went over the website and realised it was a fake (dead social media links, etc).

First time I have let my guard down but all is not lost.

On the advice of my bank, took screenshots of transactions and copy contact form asking for cancellation and refund (not that the company is going to take any notice) and after a period of 14 days, my bank can involve Mastercard due to the fraudulent activity. The site owner has to be given the right to reply.

Don't expect an immediate refund, it could take many weeks but if you have provided the required documentation, you should get the money back to your account in due course.

 

Best,

 

SJL

 

NB:  Vinayotap.com is now down but hoekwitshop.com is still up and running. (Note the Christmas theme on this site!)

Another one, https://www.roposhsale.com

A quick whois check shows you that the register is someone from Illinois, with a company named "NameSilo, LLC"

I ordered from one of these sites and almost immediately realised it was a a scam so emailed them asking them to cancel. They replied saying it was not possible but that the payment had only been authorised but they would not take payment.

I tried to cancel the authority on Paypal but this wasnt possible so I complained to Paypal via chat.

The scammers eventually took the payment but I complained again and Paypal then tried to contact them and received no reply so I was refunded the full amount.

Hi! I just filed a complaint today and still waiting for the seller's reply. How long did you get the refund back and did you screenshot any documents? Thank you so much!

There seems to be a new scam site vialuzsale .com with the service contact email <removed> email address.   I was looking at a kite for 44 bucks that is normally 99. Comes with free shipping and a reel of line. I don't believe it for a minute.

Chinese Web Sites or on Facebook easy to spot so buyer beware.

1. No return address on the returns policy............thats because the site will look as if its in your country (where they despatch goods from) BUT they will ask for returns to go back to China (returns depot) at a shipping cost nearly always more than the item is worth.
2. No contact telephone number............if you click on contact the most you will get is webmail or an email address.
3. No company address information.
4. Great looking items at bargain prices that turn out to be tat.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Strange that all the addresses are removed.... Then the other way. Lincrosshop  dot com is a scam site.

I am happy that Paypal could refund the money. The email adress begins wit 4services and then vinayotap....
