tv advert toy possible scam

Takoda

If the website you listed no longer accepts UK orders then it isn't likely to be a problem for any more Brits is it?

Anyway I've decided to send them a quick email asking if they do UK orders Just out of curiosity. Will post the result when/if I get a reply.

URL REMOVED

That website opens OK.

The url you give suggests suppliers, click on the link and it takes you to an out of stock page :T for ANOTHER company.

I would be interested if you get an email response surely they should STOP advertising them with the fake british url of bendaroos.uk.com

Regards the US complainants, I too was almost charged for 2 packs even though I had ordered 1 pack, the order process did not have a confirm order button before ending the transaction. I was not being 'greedy' as you put it. I was trying to order a toy.

It was singularly the most ambiguous and misleading website/purchase I have encountered in nearly 10 years. All this aside from the issues of

• whether or not they send to the UK
• whether or not I received the item
• whether or not they are intentionally scamming
• whether or not I am a dumbwit

Hey Mark, OP here :-)

Yes that order page you see only has a USA option, Now I would have to be a real Numpty if I ordered something with a USA delivery address and then complained it didnt arrive here inthe UK wouldn't I! That order page is different, the order page I ordered on was not a pop up order page like the one you see when you press the buy now button. It was on the bottom of the front main page, you did not have to click a buy now button to get to it and it had options for the UK..Okay, comprende padre?

Please, being as you have time to make inacurate judgemnents about what I was or was not thinking at the time of ordering, feel free to actually do a UK search yourself and try to order some from, ooh let me see, ANYWHERE!

Oh and I was billed and charged in pounds sterling, not US dollars, was that my error too?

Sorry I ddin't notice at the bottom of your post about the website changing.

I did find if you go to bendaroos.co.uk and click the zoo pack they are in stock to order, not sure about the others but the Mega pack is Out of stock.

I googled Angel Fulfillment and they are in Cornwall.

The toy shop one took me (or rather A Hitler) all the way to the checkout - it had even calculated the postage. It DID NOT pass me to anyone else or say they were out of stock. Don't know about the other one - didn't try that one.

I didn't say YOU were greedy I said it appeals to greedy people. There is a difference. It is subtle but it is there.

they spell it Angel Fulfilment.......


This has taken up too much time already, I have far more enjoyable things to be doing, Visa will refund me, just don't want to see others have the same problem.

Have seen a review of the product too, was very poor, may go back to the drawing board and change what gift to get.

Spinmaster.com don't list Bendaroos as one of their featured toy products either!

Whichever way you spell it the links go to an address in Cornwall.

To be honest, none of your original post really adds up. I'll post again if I get a reply from the US site. I'm going to drop Angel fulfilment and Spinmaster.com an email too and see what their response is. They ought to know you're naming them on MSE as part of a scam. :eek:

An interesting link - a handful of complaints over the last few months.

But some of them say that the website asked them to put in their credit card details BEFORE seeing the total amount they had to pay!!!!

What kind of an idiot does that?

There's an old thread on MSE somewhere where a forum member got some from the Early Learning Centre.
