    Sounds like a conman. I would find their local trading standards office and give them a ring.
    Who did you actully pay on your statement?
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring
  • zebrabooks.net which is interesting. Their payments system was made to look like the payment went thru WorldPay. My card company have told me it was direct with zebrabooks.net.
  • Same happened with me. No goods, no tracking, no proof of postage even. Will try to get a quick charge back and a new card number issued. Thanks Gareth of zebrabooks.net and thanks gov UK for issuing a valid VAT number and Company number to the guy (if that really is him)!

    It get worse. Just to be on the safe side I would talk to the Police on 101 and cancel the card.

  • I'm not allowed to post links but if you search google for 'online fraud' there's a link to a police website where you can post all the info and get an incident number. They want you to testify as well though, which always makes you wonder how far into the belly of the beast you've gone..
  • Did not deliver my MacBook Pro . Paid £899 ? Cannot contact him . His voicemail will not accept voicemails. And no reply to emails.
    Do NOT use this company.
  • i also am waiting on a macbook pro for £899
    i have just recieved an e-mail from him
    telling me the adverse weather has delayed delivery of said computer
    lets hope!

    They have a facebook page-
    Zebra books
    Apparently free delivery on all items( I call scam)
    Also.


    "We're currently taking payments by Paypal. 25p of all sales from the website goes to Cancer Research UK."

    Perhaps police can get more info via paypal

    I suggest you report them to facebook and cancer research and action fraud

    They have a phone number which is 0800800800 on facebook which is highly unlikely.
    This is fraud.

    The first alarm bell for me would be that he seems to have very few books for sale - bit odd for a site which claims that this is their primary business.
