Fake Camera/TV Sales Website www.7gocool.com NOT PAYPAL ##FRAUD##

Hi all 7gocool.com are a fraudulent website. They look real but aren't.

I have just been taken for £850 with these people. They show paypal, advertise on Google and have a link off ebay but they are FAKE.

They looked so real that I went with them, they even created me an account and sent me many emails, but when I paid they went to ground and I have lost £850.

It was left to me in a will so that makes it even worse. I checked and double checked but they just are nasty people and now I've got to assume that they have lots of my private details like home address, phone number, passwords, bank details, sort codes........people be so careful and dont make the mistake that I did.

If it sounds too good to be true it probably is!

Gutted and please pass the word. 7gocool.com ~GET THEM SHUT DOWN

  • Unfortunately a quick google throws up lost of people with the same problem.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
  • How did you send the money - if it was by Credit Card then you can do a chargeback.

    If you paid by paypal, then try to reclaim through them. If you fund your paypal by Credit card and you get no luck from paypal, then go to your Credit Card supplier.

    If its an off ebay sale and the sellers Paypal account is empty you will not be able to retrieve funds
