Can anyone help,my son bought protein bars from this website,he paid £110 from his bank card,the website states that it takes 3 - 14 working days to be delivered,he waited for the 14 days then to discover the website has no phone no to contact them only a email address,
i have told him to go straight to the bank in the morning to cancell all transactions from his card,the £110 came out of his account the day after he ordered,hopefully if this is a scam it will help anyone else buying from this site.discountfitnessstore.co.uk
Thanks

Hi
It may just be a disorganised seller or possibly a slow courier ?
How about ringing the trading standards dept nearest the seller
Ask if they are aware of any complaints ?
If it is a wide spread scam they may of had some complaints by now ?"Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." :cool:

There is a mailing address, so why not send them some snail mail by recorded delivery...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

I suggest you contact the bank and request a refund for goods not received. In future may I suggest you use a credit card for on line payments."A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
