100% scam.



That is a fake website pretending to sell cheap merchandise.



Any site that advertises merchandise cheaper than the official manufacture's website is a fake site shipping gosh awful crappy knock-offs or simply collecting cash and not even bothering to ship fakes.



The pictures on the site look like the real merchandise because those pictures ARE of the official merchandise. Those pictures were stolen from the official manufacture's website. If you receive anything at all, which is doubtful, it will not resemble those pretty pictures at all.



The payment options say it all, paypal and bank transfer, only anonymous cash payments.



Paypal can only get your money back if there is money left in the scammer's paypal-linked bank account. Scammers know this and will immediately withdrawal your money and disappear. No money in the scammer's paypal-linked bank account means absolutely no possibility of refund for you.



Your bank can only get your money back if there is money left in the scammer's bank account. Scammers know this and will immediately withdrawal the money you transferred. No money in the account means absolutely no possibility of you getting your hard-earned cash back.



In all seriousness, when something goes wrong, what will you do? Send an email that is ignored and blocked? Send chat requests until you are ip banned? Call internationally and speak fluent Chinese?



The UPS, TNT and DHL icons are there only to take up space, that site only ships with EMS, the Chinese post office, good luck getting the "tracking number" they give you to work on the EMS website. You will need even more luck trying to contact EMS when your tracking stops and your "package" is lost somewhere.



You could then be really lucky, your "package" is discovered, seized by "customs" and all you need to do is pay even more money via Western Union or moneygram to the "custom's official" who uses a free email address just like that site has a free email address as its contact information.



Free email addresses are easy to open and close completely anonymously.

The site is only a month old and intentionally hides its registry details so you don't even know which country they are in

I would call your bank ASAP and see if there is any way to trace the account where the money was sent then call Action Fraud

Hi, if you pay with bank transfer, they give you an Bank account in the UK. Tracing it shows that it seems to be a Lloyds Bank account. I would suggest that you go to the police and maybe they can trace whose account it is and maybe get your money back...?

I too was stupid enough to by something from them, lost 900 pounds. That is an expensive way to confirm something I already suspected...



I will go to the police today and see what they can do with this bank account.
