A family from Hull have been left devastated and almost £200 out of pocket after a suspected online Christmas shopping scam.
Lee Knapton, ordered a £199 PlayStation 4 for son Andrew, nine, from Hippo Electronics but it failed to arrive, the phone-line was dead, emails bounced back and the company website went down.
Lee said: "I was so angry because this was my son's Christmas present.
"The company told me they would only accept a bank transfer because they had so many orders and it would speed up deliveries. If you pay by credit card you should get your money back but with bank transfers there is no comeback."

Registered at an industrial unit in Leeds, which hasn't been used for18-months, the Hippo orders were paid to an account in Falkirk Scotland which is now being investigated by police.
