Domogsm.com - Scam website

Options
No phone number. There's a real address but it looks as if it's been chosen at random. Same for the completely different address on the Domain Registration. Faked registrant's name on there as well.

The home page says that they accept credit cards and Paypal. All lies. The only payment method is bank transfer.

This one's selling a 64GB Apple ipad for £305 delivered.

Don't use this website. They'll steal your money.

  • Its just another scam site. They copied the site template from eurogsm.co.uk. Theres 100s of thousands of sites like this kicking about the net, do you want to list them all?

    Its a pretty pointless post and a better way would be a post on how to spot these scam sites.
  • too late for me, £800 gone when I tried to buy a TV from them:mad:. Barclays won't do anything. Stay away from that site.
  • Yep got me for iPad £501, again neither my bank or Barclays would or could help. Started off with delaying tactics then lying, wouldn't refund as requested :mad::mad::mad:

    If you paid by credit card and the supplier failed to deliver you should escalate the procedure with the credit card company to recover your money. There is a waiting period before they will act from what i can remember. Others on the forum will be able to tell you more.

    If you paid via bank transfer then there isn't anything that the bank alone can do to help, although with a court order, they will release details of the name and address of the person who received the payment.

    They will only refund your payment is the transaction was fraudulent (ie, you didn't make the transfer, it was someone who somehow got your log in details).
    Fraud happening after the money had been transferred by the account holder isn't the responsibility of the bank as they were only performing the service that was requested.

    If it was credit card that you used, then contact your card issuer and tell them that you want to make a "section 75" claim.

    With a debit card you can request a chargeback, but whether they agree to it is up to the bank, and if the company concerned has closed their account and there are no funds available, a chargeback won't work.
