fake tiffany site

superfly_2

Hi folks,

my nieghbour bought some jewelery from https://www.tiffany-jewellery.co.uk which turned out to be very fake. All the clues were there looking at the site e.g no contact except email, no returns policy and bad spelling mistakes.

She has asked me if there is anything that can be done about this scam but I am not sure if there is. I have done a whois search and the domain is registered in Bulgaria which does not help.

Does anyone know of anywhere she can turn??


Thanks

Hopefully they'll have more legal clout and resources then us meager mortals.

If she paid by credit card, she should find out if their fraud protection applies here.

I remember a post being on many many months ago about this site. some bloke had found it and asked peoples opinions on whether or not it was genuine.

the majority if not all said they thought it was a con straight away! !

morale of the story??

dont be a skinflint!

superfly_2

cheers for the replies, she paid by one of those visa electron cards which i think is a debit card. Tiffanys got back to me thanking me for letting them know and said there are loads of these sites which are all fake cos they do not have any outlets apart from thier own stores.
as for not being a skinflint ....aint that why we're on here???

Darksun

She should still contact her bank, the card might have some form of internet fraud protection

Other than the 30 spoof emails I received from "barcleys" today (which was relatively good to start with as the link was https://www.barclays.co.uk.somthingelse.com/somerubbish but then there was just random letters and numbers in the "text" of the email) this has to be one of the worst websites.
