Home firesides/fires galore illegally trading

callowzena

I am devastated to hear that this site is a fraudulent one.
I ordered a fire from these people on the 13th September and did get an email back confirming my order. I contacted them again a couple of weeks later and they sent another email saying that the fire would be despatched and would receive this. Nothing has arrived. I have since sent 3 emails and phoned them but the number just rings out. I wish i had used moneysavingexpert before and checked the site out but i didnt think .... it looked so professional.

Thank goodness i paid by credit card and hopefully am covered......i have lost faith now in ordering online.....

Would suggest the OP change the title of the thread to something like

Home Firesides SCAM and RIP OFF so this shows in the goole results rather than

Home firesides/fires galore illegally trading Praise, Vents, Warnings

I too have become another victim of the home fireside scam. Ordered a stove on 9th october, went to check my emails yesterday morning and hadn't received anything. I tried phoning all morning - no answer or engaged. So i decided to google the company and couldn't believe that i had been stitched up. I rang the bank immediatley and they said that the payment was pending and that they would reverse it. This morning went to get a statement from the bank and it had been taken out! I am having to try and claim it back now through the visa debit fraud department. Hope i can get the money back some day:o(. I can't believe i have become a victim of such a scam, having researching meticulously the stove i wanted, failed to research the company i ordered it with. Feel such a fool. Feel like hiring a hitman!!!!

It's an outrage that the website is still live and taking orders.

What a joke.

this man and his site? Absolutely nothing! It's ridiculous that anyone can pay google enough to keep his site at the top of the google list and Google won't/can't do anything despite him being a fraudster. And each day more people are being scammed!

Ordered a fire from homefiresides.com on 23 September. Nothing delivered and I can't get response to phone calls and emails. I'm going to try to get my money back through the credit card company. I wish I had checked for a scam first.

Thank you, thank you, I was about to order then thought I ought to check Home Firesides Ltd/Firesgalore out first. A link to this thread came up on page 1 of a google search.

You have saved me a lot of grief and it is much appreciated.
