Electronics-over-deal.com - Scam website

Coopdivi

As there are a number of scam electrical/electronic goods websites currently operating I thought I'd flag up some.

Electronics-over-deal.com has no contact address or phone number. The only methods of payment are by evoucher or money transfer which are both extremely untrustworthy. The server's based in The Ukraine.

They are currently 'selling' an Ipad 2 64GB for £264 so it's obviously a scam website.

They have a Barclays account in Leicester

Bank Name: Barclays Bank PLC
Sort Code: 20-72-91
Account No: 03279642
IBAN: GB79BARC20729103279642
BIC: BARCGB22,

Barclays say they cannot flag the account for their internal purposes. Ah well, double-edged sword etc...

A quick Google of that bank account number brings up a further company that requires direct payment into it, and this company appears to have scammed many people.

[/STRIKE][/STRIKE]Hi,

I have been scammed by this 'company' and am interested to know the date that you advised Barclays of the scam.

I would presume that the account being used below and operated in the UK, is being used for fraudulent purposes, with regular transactions in and out of the account (as the money is transfered out on the criminal's behalf) by someone acting for them within the UK.

I note that you posted the bank details to the forum on the 27th April, which is the same day that I was scammed by 'Electronics-Over-Deal' as well.

I have been in touch with Barclays 'Customer Fraud Helpline (sic)' on the 2nd May 2012. The Barclays 'On Line' Fraud then in turn advised me to ring the general Customer Helpline; however before they took all my details and gave me a call reference number. Then they advised - that they could not help me on this number; and rather that I should call the general 'Barclays' Customer Helpline; whom would put me through to the Online Fraud Investigation Team).

I therefore reluctantly rang the general customer helpline and was told that it was: not the Fraud Line number, after I had related the whole details of the scam to the operator,including the details of the Barclays Account being used and details of Web Forums/ (such as this) where details of the scam had been posted on line by others.

The operator, gave me the impression that she was logging every piece of information I gave her - but did not give me a call reference number as when I called their Fraud Line. The Barclays phone line operator, then gave me a number for the Barclays Fraud Team, (08457 555 555) but said that their office was now closed as it was after 17:00Hrs.

Having related the details of the scam to Barclays in depth, on two separate phone calls; on the first call receiving a call reference number for the call. I consider that I have likewise fully advised them of the potential criminal purposes to which the Barclay's account,is being put and in my view they have a duty to act.

I would therefore be grateful to you to let me know the date that you informed them and the details of what they told you, in respect as to why they were 'refusing to act' on the information given. I would also be garateful to anyone else reading this, whom has likewise been scammed by 'Electronics-Over-Deal' and the date that Barclays was advised and their response in respect of a request to either monitor/ and or freeze, the Barclays account being used.

Regards

Kym D.
