Has anyone used Gizmosgames?

I am looking to buy a DSi for my daughter. I saw a bundle on https://www.gizmosgames.co.uk for £99 including game and free memory card. Has anyone used them before?

  • Don't do it - I did today and they tell you your card has not gone through but an email will be sent saying order accepted when it hasn't. If you email back it is returned and if you try phoning you are just left hanging on. I have cancelled my credit card - there are other posts on here where people have had money taken a few hours or days later

    Thanks for the reply. I ordered one from Pixmania yesterday. I thought it looked too good to be true.
  • Just to warn anyone else tempted by this offer- they are now naming themselves Gizogames.co.uk . We were nearly caught out by them as there seemed to be nothing negative coming up, but were suspicious that nothing at all was coming up when we 'googled' the company name not even their web address. If you look at the link you will see that it is identical to the 'gizmogame' website.

    Hi all, I am Matthew J Moore and I can confirm I did not set up this web site. My card details were stolen from another site doing this same scam and used to set this site up. I have now found out that this web site has been called prontix, bimalp and gizmogadgets. I have asked the domain company one . com to remove the web site and any involment that my name has been falsely used to set it up.

    Please do not try and buy anthing from this site, the genral rule "if its is too good to be true it is!! (dsi £99!!??) - I have learned from this. If you have tried to buy from this site and also had your card declined, it will be used (someone else had a flight ticket purchased to Abu Dhabi for £700) make sure your bank cancels your card and get a new one issued.

    Does any one know how I can report this and clear my name??

    Regards, Matt
  • The same company has now opened a new website and are trying to get more Credit Card details etc... How do I report the website?. It's a Google sponsored link, and if people put in 'cheap nintendo Wii' the website :

    w w w . zittergames.co.uk

    is advertised by google. It's a fraudulent website and needs to be shut down!!!!!!

    Why is there no central place to report fraud websites?
