Mulberry Outlet

I am kicking myself as I have been stung by a fake site. I ordered a Mulberry purse from the Mulberry.oulet site. It finally arrived today. It has come from China. The invoice has no address but shows the cost of the "Mulberry" purse to be $15 US Dollars - I have paid A LOT more!! Is there anything I can do? Can I ask the bank to stop payment as I did not receive the goods I paid for i.e. a genuine Mulberry purse? Will trading standards help? Aaaaagh!!!! Help please!!!

    How much did you pay, and how did you pay?

    They will have put $15 to prevent customs charges.

    Your options are pretty much zero as you are bound by China's laws (or lack thereof)
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    Not necessarily so. If she paid more than £100 (these things are ludicrously expensive) on a credit card then, as usual, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 comes to her rescue.

    Yes, I believe that with a Visa debit card they will get you your money back.

    Contact the card issuer, probably your bank.

    If you're worried about it call the lost cards number (should be on the card) and they'll issue you a new one.
