Warning : Fraudulent website - tvsdirect2u.com

Hi everyone,

I was looking for cheapest deal on LG LCD TV on the internet,
and google shopping showed best price at tvsdirect2u.com

This website is Fraudulent. I've made a payment, money are gone from my CC , but I have never received my LCD TV.
They do not reply to my emails and my phone calls.

I want everyone who was screwed by TVSDIRECT2U to write about their bad experience here...

    I'd have to agree:

    Website is registered to someone in Milton Keynes, with a Glasgow phone number, looks like a complete scam...
    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

    yes, and my cc statement shows that money went to flight tickets group in hemel hempstead...

    I've already contacted my CC, they sent me a form to fill in about this transaction, but as far as I understand money are gone, and I will have to pay interest on it anyway.:confused:

    To be very honest, and this far down the line, I dont think your going to get anything back from them unless you can get your card company to to a charge back. A call to your local police may help them if there is action in progress regarding any court hearings, your input to the police will add towards their case against GGUUK.
    I see Connif has been doing a little homework with his posting above, (cheers) GGUK's site may well say under new management but I know for a fact that Sharon Barrett is the wife of the last owner, also registered in London but trading out of Milton Keynes.

    Company Director you say - this paragraph sounds like a 10 year old wrote it!?!
    The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it is!
