These websites exists just for the sake of cheating Customers. But Beware of these king of sites. If you find the site in google shopping. Don't forget to report it to google.0

I've also just paid for a TV from this site and to be honest I did think the price was too good to be true but thought I give them a try anyway, I paid with pay pal who I have just rung and they assure me my full amount is covered by their buyer protection so if it doesn’t show in 8 days time I can open a dispute in their resolution centre and get all my money back failing that I funded pay pal with my credit card so can go down that route if needed.
I will let you know how i get on.0 -
Yes always be sceptical.... a cheaper price from an unheard of company should always make you double check before handing over any money......
I'll be honest that it never ceases to amaze me that so many people seem willing to chance it with a site like this in the hope to get something cheaper....I'm all for money saving but never at the cost of being scammed!

To everyone buying white goods (Kitchen/domestic items): -
I have used www.kitchenscience.co.uk for some years now. Having bought a fridge/freezer, washing machine and cooker, I can say that the prices are competitive, not cheap. I had one problem, with a F/Freezer. The manufacturer sent an idiot who broke it. When I complained to the seller, k.science sent an accomplished workman who fitted new parts to replace the one not working and the ones broken. 3 years later, it still works.
Promo codes are available: http://www.promotionalcodes.org.uk/kitchen-science/
As for TV/Audio: I use either www.digitaldirect.co.uk or www.richersounds.com Richer sounds is the better of the two for service and every large town/city has an outlet. Orders can be placed online (cheaper) and if the Online price is quoted at the store, that is what you pay. I don't like Laskys, but that is a personal choice.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

Thanx guys. Was at the checkout on their site buying 2 netbooks as they were cheaper than everyone else and decided to search the net 2 see if there were any discount/promotional codes for the company and I came across your forum. You have just saved me £320 plus!0

@fattabbycat - would be interested to hear how you get on.. I've yet to hear from anyone who has gone through a sale... good luck..
it would also seem that everyone who has requested a refund or queried an order has had refunds... Not much of a scam if you get your money back but perhaps there is another hidden agenda..?0 -
Has this Frold scam been taken off Google shopping due to the complaints or are their products still listed?"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
best of everything; they just make the best
of everything that comes along their way."

Well, I got stung big time. Should have investigated a bit more before jumping in!
Ordered a Samsung TV at ridiculous price. Got no chance of seeing that or my money again!!
Don't be fooled by a bargain!0 -
Be warned everyone avoid FROLD.com like the plague! I ordered a TV from here and it never arrived. I emailed the site and never heard anything.
My PayPal query ended up going to [EMAIL="lanpaong@yahoo.com"]lanpaong@yahoo.com[/EMAIL] so I emailed this address too.
I have also opened a claim with PayPal but sadly it was paid for with my debit card so I expect I am stuffed.
I will be contacting google shopping as this is where the link came from and also contacting Magneto to state someone is fraudently using their software.
I will also contact BBC Watchdog, Trading Standards and the Police!
Feel free to ensure no-one else ever gets caught by these !!!!!!s!0
