Many thanks for this. I almost ordered a chest freezer from them just this morning!0

I tried to buy a freezer from them this morning could not complete purchase. They advised credit card portal was down but I could pay by BACS or bank transfer. Not proceeding unless can pay by PayPal or have confirmation from a nationally recognised courier that the delivery is under way. Do not expect to complete.1

I ended up on their site through Kelkoo this morning and my gut feeling is that it's a scam. I asked them if they'll take a paypal payment and they said no, reasoning that Paypal is down because of COVID-19, which I'm sure isn't true. They said I could do a bank transfer but I just don't trust it.
Their company IS registered on companies house, but that's the only info that I can find on them.

Hi all,
Do I feel stupid, never fallen for a con before but this one got me. Old freezer died on us last week and next-door neighbour said she would kindly take our frozen food into her chest freezer if it was only for a few days. John Lewis, Currys you name them could only deliver after 10 days minimum. Then came across Fly Gadgets (perfect name, should have known) who could deliver in a couple of days. Credit card did not go through so "could I do bacs?" I hesitated for a couple of hours while I checked out their address, bank code and bank and against my better judgement handed over the money. All chat lines ceased, constant engaged phone and I knew in an instant I'd been conned. Phoned up Santandar fraud could not get through for 2 days due to covid staff shortages and they said not liable as the deal was between me and the bespectacled Mr Anderson because I used BACS. Ah well £150 lost to some scumbag taking advantage in these scary times. Please take care and save your money!0 -

I've found a which article that says as of May 2019 there's new regulation to get your money back after a bank transfer to a scam. Talk to your bank and if that doesn't work escalate to the financial ombudsman. The !!!!!! on company's house have a legitimate trading name and address and have directors with full details on there too.0
