Fraudulent site?

I've found plenty of bargains on the site http://www.bcvn.org.uk which makes me suspicious to whether it's a scam! Any way to find out?

No address on the website at all, no phone number, just a contact form - so no way to contact them.

T&C and Privacy pages are all dummy text and site is badly written throughout.

I wouldn't risk buying from a site like that.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

Plenty of bargains?
TBH, it all looks like a load of expensive tat to me.

For example: priced at £15.05 instead of £75.00, this can be bought from Amazon for £0.86
Topker Retro Crystal Handle Tea Coffee Spoon Ice Cream Spoon Dessert Ladle Scoop Gold - B07538796F

And this priced at £15.25 instead of £20.94 can be bought from Amazon for £5.95+£1.97 delivery.

HippoWarehouse What happens at the book club stays at the book club Tote Shopping Gym Beach Bag 42cm x38cm 10 litres - B01HDGF5Z8

You only need to glance at various sections on the website - FAQ, About us etc - to know it's a shonky website.



What bargains have you found that you can't source cheaper elsewhere?

In particular, I was looking to purchase this http://www.bcvn.org.uk/french-farmhouse-wooden-vegetable-store-with-3-large-wicker-drawers-and-potato-store-w35-x-d31-x-h90cm-b00bl0g3hm.html?search=vegetable%20stor

Ah.
Amazon had it but it's "currently unavailable" so no idea of what their price was.

I wouldn't trust bcvn to have it in stock either - even though they say it is...
