Help and Warning!!
On the 17th May 2010, I ordered from www.thefunkychef.co.uk .
They told me that my order would be with me within 10 days. When it failed to turn up by the 3rd of June, I emailed them. I got a automatic reply saying someone would email me back in within 1 day.
So today, after no reply, i decided to try and ring the number on their website. But once again an automatic message, this time saying the phone number was no longer in use.
So worry started to come over me, and i decided to google the company, only to discover alot of other people are having the same problem, and rumours that the company have gone bust!!!
I paid on my pre paid card, so have accepted that i have lost my money. But is there anyway to get this site closed down. As surely they shouldn't be aloud to keep taking peoples money and not delivering the goods.
Any advice would be truely greatful.
Many thanks
Julie

It wont get your money back but it "might" get them to close the site down and hopefully take action against the guy running it."The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."

Looks like the site has gone already??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
