“No we are not an ebay seller –“

Oh yes you are, and you are breaking eBay rules by advertising items for sale outside of eBay.

Oh dear, things just keep on getting worse don't they! Lies always catch you up in the end, Mr Owen must think he's exempt from that, unfortunately he's not and has been proven to be a liar, what a very foolish man. I wonder what else he's lied about.

Not been any updates for a while have there?
My card is still cut off and being investigated.
I love how they don't even add even a small notice on their site, god FORBID they might lose some extra custom from informing other customers who were outside of the "target date customers" that got letters.

I used to feel bad for neo but I think i've realised they're not the most trustworthy bunch.

burn-media.co.uk for me from now on I guess.

I looked into this, and well, they were allegedly rather interesting compilations weren't they.

But they xecuted those dinosaurs and now they are extinct!

Completely Jurassic, and the dinosaurs were smart with their PC's **wink wink**

Who could we speak to about forming an alliance to sue this company? This is getting quite gruesome and soap opera-ish.

Lets get some sort of action going because as said before I felt sorry for them but this company is starting to feel like a cowboy posse in a wild west flick.

I had the pro-forma shopneo letter...checked my card and no dodgy transactions...woooohooo...

then about three days ago...the !!!! hit the fan....phone call from my card....'we have noticed some weird transactions...would you confirm?'

All proved fraudulent...so my card was cancelled on the spot to prevent further misuse.

The !!!! it has caused me is imeasuable!

All pending legitimate transactions were cancelled by default, so as and when they came in they were rejected....so I had to re-book my holiday...contact all my direct debits to ask for new mandates...I had to spend at least two hours on the phone sorting this....along with another two hours over two days to my card company...not to mention the police report...and the emails to neo....all ignored!

bit of a bummer if you ask me...


and then of course we have all my details doing the rounds in criminalville...

and who pays in the end...the !!!!! use my card to play online gambling.....the gambling company make a profit....so does the !!!! using my card...shopneo have made a profit....I am out of pocket till my bank reinburse me....who loose the money...and make it back by charging us more in charges!....ie WE LOOSE!

Fraudsters....bang 'em up I say.
