Bogus Internet Shopping Sites

Options
I would just like to warn any other people who may have been doing their internet shopping recently that they should only order items from well known sites. I recently ordered a new iphone cover from mydogandbone.co.uk for £33 pounds and paid an extra £6 for it to be delivered next day but it has not arrived.
I was sent an order confirmation by email giving me a parcel tracking number which when checked is not a valid number. I have tried calling their number but it states that they are not connected and their email address is also not working.
I have been back on the site and the item is still showing as being in stock and they are still accepting orders so I felt I had to warn others on here to not order from this site and to check where they're ordering from before they order.
I am so so angry that there are people out there with no morals whatsoever who are quite happy to rip people off. :mad: All I can hope for is that karma will catch up with them one day and they will be made to pay for what they have done.

    I paid by credit card on Tuesday 15th December. The payment has been processed but nothing's arrived and none of their contact details are working. I've checked out their address and it's registered as Mail Boxes Ltd so I've checked them out as well. They're a company who rent out mail boxes so sounds dodgier by the minute.
    I'm going to inform the police as I'd hate to think anyone else is going to get ripped off by them and I've informed my credit card company.
