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!

Even if you've used a debit card, you will be protected.

Just google "debit card protection".

In any case, PayPal should protect you from fraudulent transactions.

Hey, don't panic, well not just yet anyway, if you paid on paypal regardless of how you funded it paypal will cover any fraudulant purchases, you just have to wait 8 days before you can put a claim in. And no my tv hasn't turned up yet "eta 5/12/2011 today and as yet no show" so I will give it a day or so before puting in my own claim in to paypal.

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!

This fraud issue has now been reported to the local police who have passed on to the Met police to investigate further. Also informed Trading Standards, Action Fraud, Watchdog and Companies House. Went to see my bank and that of the said proprieter - a Darius Peckaitis. Barclays Bank have confirmed that the account does exist under this name, although the account was cleared of funds last Monday. He has scammed in excess of £8000 from this fraudulent activity.
He is also linked to a company called Golden Waves Solutions of 3 Sprowston Road, Forest Gate, London. This company is also under investigation by the relevant authorities.
However, the products are still appearing on Google Shopping and I can't find a link to report to Google. Any ideas?

just to make it oficial , i bought a camera lens from frold.com , two days later i went back to the site and found nearly £400 worth of items in my shopping basket ,not put there by me of course, i deleted them of course then went to the options screen and change my details and saved the file so i hope thats the end of it , when i returned the next day i was barred from entry "username and password unknown" i had left those details unchanged the day before so i can only assume that changing my details and saving the file rendered me a hopeless case now for robbing blind? , i raised a case with paypal and im happy to say it has now been resolved as they had no response from frold.com i have had a full refund, merry xmas all.

I sincerely hope this makes it abundantly clear that Frold.com is a scam site plain and simple.

I'm still surprised so many people seem to fall for it but we all love a bargain I suppose.... or at least what appears to be a bargain.

I bought a tv from these guys back in November. Again, it was ridiculously cheap and I was on my guard. However they offered payment by Paypal so I thought it was worth the risk so I went for it. Once paid I received an email from Paypal confirming my payment to "Baltic Dredging Ltd" (email: [EMAIL="balticdredging@gmail.com"]balticdredging@gmail.com[/EMAIL]) which left me a little confused. They are a marine construction company in Denmark. Anyway, I got an email a couple of hours later from Paypal saying I'd been refunded. Go figure.

Having read a post on another forum there seems to be a link with frold.com and bralx.com. Has anyone purchased any items from this website and recieved them?

The only tentative link I could see is that bralx.com is registered with "Frol Volgin" as the contact.

However, as the bralx.com domain was only registered less than three weeks ago, I seriously doubt that it's anything other than a new iteration of the same old scam.
