Ordered some software online from a company mrhightec waisted three days no software checked the company out and it seems it's a scam, I know my fault should have checked first.
Phoned the bank and cancelled my card and they told money had been taken out to a boutique in Shanghai.
Bank fraud dept are trying to get my money back it will teach me a lesson.
Please be aware of this company.
MR HIGHTEC.NET.

Yes a very good lesson indeed.

But why did you think it was safe to buy ?

I know Botanic Ave well, my bus goes down it. Its a main road with loads of shops and eating places. Don't remember seeing this place. Must have a good look when next going that way.

I don't think you've got anything to worry about. Just ignore it and move on.


You say they might have your real name etc.? How do they know that's your real name? That's certainly not their real name so why would they assume yours is unless you've provided it to them in some legal document/ID.
