I really should learn to fact check online shops!
At the start of August I ordered three watches from a site I'd found on the net. Looked smart, the watches were right up my alley. Total cost - £119.99. Never got delivered. eMailed them to complain, eMail bounced. Phone number was fake. Trustpilot reviews were fake. Address was fake. A few weeks later, their site disappeared from the internet. It cam back up last week, but the store front was shut down by the host. Now it's gone for good.
Second time? Mid August, ordered ANOTHER watch, very attractive piece, looked legit at first glance. Swapped eMails for a few weeks, they were very apologetic, but went dark, stopped responding to my emails. Total cost? £89.99.
Now for the fortunate part. Under UK legislation, it is the bank's responsibility to take your side and return the money to you. So I won't lose out. Luckily. I'll get my money back. But I still feel VERY foolish. You gotta check these places!
