    Hi all.

    Can i ask some of the previous posters to do something for me please ?

    I have been back on to the http://onsaleghd.com website and if you have looked at it - which most of you have - you will notice that there is the small box which states that the website is genuine and if you click onto that box you are able to see their "certificate" . The box tells you your ip address etc.....

    Well.......today when i click that box it is coming up to say that the server cannot confirm that i have access to view the certificate....

    It seems my ip has been blocked maybe ?

    Could some of you lot attempt to go on to the website and see if you are still able to view the certificate and then post up to let me know ?

    Just checked my online banking as well ...... the amont is still showing up in my "balance" but is NOT available.

    eg : Balance : £57 .72

    Available balance £00.72

    So , It seems that the amount is still authorised but hasnt actually physically been "taken".

    I made the purchase on Friday , it's now Tuesday .

    Thanks . Please post back to let me know if it's only me who cant view the certificate

    Well to be fair. That post wasn't having a dig. i was just posting the site as you posted.
    "http://onsaleghd.com"

    And you really should have checked the genuine GHD site checker *posted above* before making your purchase. But you sound a bitter type so i hope you dont get a penny back since you never took percautions.
