Scammed by Buymobiles

Hi guys
I pre-ordered a Galaxy s7 through buymobiles.net who promised a free gift of a charging pad. I though it was a good deal until a week later, they remove the pre-order and offer better deals than mine for the same money. I'm essentially paying for the free gift. Surely that's foul play. They have been utterly unhelpful in answering my questions about it. Any info from anyone?

It's not a scam, and not foul play either. You were happy when you placed the order.
Obviously it hasn't sold as well as they hoped so they are making the deals more attractive to get more business. Prices change. That's life. That's business.
See if you can cancel the pre-order, but looking at the site now there doesn't seem to be any 'free' gifts and it appears they are shipping the phones already, so you may actually end up worse off if you cancel!0 -
Pah... I feel hoodwinked but thanks guys.0

Yet again a scam thread that isn't a scam.0

Guess what, it'll be cheaper next month too, and they'll change the price. That's electronics for you. Pre-orders get you things FIRST, not CHEAP.0
