shoo gal Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I can't believe it! I bought some charms for a bracelet from an internet site, looked good, then the email confirmation I got was TOTALLY dodgy (sitecomplaint.com) so I googled it and it's a scam! Plus, it said I had bought the products from some tea shop in China! It looked an ok website I thought, same as any other! That's £50 I'm never going to see again boo I rang the bank, they said until the funds go out nothing they can do. I have a sneaky suspicion I am not going to see my charms, or my money again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoo gal Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yes I read about that once I googled the web address. The charms were quite a bit cheaper than normal, I just put it down to Jan sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc55 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 when I'm searching the internet for cheaper things - such as before Christmas I was looking for sale Pandora charms - I always click the 'contact us' page, have a good read - sometimes call the telephone number if it looks OK ... or I read the 'about us' page. These are usually quite enlightening and if it's a dodgy website the english is more pigeon than English. Sometimes the web address at the top in the search bar is a giveaway too. I almost bought some charms, but got suspicious when I couldn't find the same charms on the pandora site and eventually realised it was a scam site.
