Anybody bought anything from this site?
As a bit of an IT guru, I feel ashamed to say I may have fallen victim to an internet scam!
I broke my compact camera whilst on holiday, and have been meaning to get a new one ever since. The Canon Ixus 95IS seemed to be a good choice; top of PC Pro A list and many other reviews for a cheap compact 'point and shoot' camera.
Argos had this for sale at £119 a couple of weeks ago, but when I went to reserve online tonight the price had gone up to £149.
Cutting a long story short - I did a google search and http://www.bitesizedeals.co.uk was on the top of the search results, and the price was £118 delivered!. I have seen this company appear in many search results for different products over the years, and assumed they were legit. I ordered there and then and put in my card details etc and got an instant order acknowledgement to my hotmail account - then the alarm bells went off! the email I received was flagged in red by Microsoft with possible dangerous content.
I then did a google search on the company, and apparently although they have a .co.uk domain, they are based in the states and there are hundreds of bad reports about items never received etc. Total scam from what I can see
I promptly sent them an email to cancel the order and requesting an immediate refund - but I don't hold out much hope!
Are there any legal boffins out there that can let me know where I stand on this?
Suffice to say, it feels like someone has bent me over and royally rogered me up the bum, and I'm not happy!
Any advice welcome,
thanks, Dave
