Scam website warning

corries7

Just thought that money savers should be aware, if you shop online and are directed to a site called Fristpay to pay, get out fast! (Fristpay is not a spelling mistake).
This is a fraudulent company in China, owned by professional looking websites, supposedly selling quality brand clothing and shoes. I was looking for a particular style of men's Ecco shoe, sold out in my size on the usual sites, but apparently available in all sizes at a site called 369collective.
I was on holiday and using my phone to search, (in hindsight not one of my best ideas). I was directed to the Fristpay site for payment, (£59.50, although £62.24 was taken).
Around 2 weeks later a parcel was delivered from China containing a cheap pair of fake shoes in a totally different style with the shoe name 'Merrel' badly stamped on the base. I emailed the seller, they did reply, but it was obvious that my money had gone. A quick search of the internet for Fristpay confirmed my fears.
Disappointed that I fell for this, I am usually very aware.
Luckily I paid on my Halifax credit card, they are investigating and they may refund the payment.

This should probably be moved to the 'Praise, Vent & Warnings' forum.
