AbsBerks

The 1 star reviews are some of the flagged ones which probably Truspilot reviewed and reinstated again

I'll bet some of you have read 5 star reviews on Google Play. Now, just take a look at this one from 3PP because "Damien" says the same as others do except slightly different.



I can't flag reviews due to already done once and Trustpilot are aware of it.

Now, if only someone could track down the exact location of 3PP and employees (I doubt it though), then they could be held accountable and reported to the police for scamming people.

Try companies house.

waiting supposedly on my "ipad pro" "3rd of December" has anyone actually managed to successfully receive an order from this website?

Sandy and Christopher's reviews have already been removed, and they were both very detailed about everything.

At least Christopher said he's been in contact with the police so hopefully something will happen.

Wait, you're saying you're still waiting for your iPad since December 3rd, 2019? You're probably never getting that money back unless you take action against 3PP which is what all the victims should do.

So, if you want your money back then talk with your bank. 3PP ain't gonna give it back.

Why should my bank refund you because suddenly you have buyers remorse? You bought cheap! Expect tac!

'why should the police arrest that assailant for punching you in the face, it was clear he was going to do it, why didn't you block the punch?' 
Maybe because they've been scammed and there's laws protecting consumers?
Also, stop bandying round 'buyers' remorse', this isn't that.

What are you on about, it literally is buyer's remorse.  It fits the definition perfectly: The sense of regret after having made a purchase.

To the best of my recollection (and forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm not re-reading 15 pages of speculation to check), no one on here has evidently been scammed.  Yet.  Once the delivery dates have come and gone and if no product arrives then yes, it will look like a scam but so far everyone has got exactly what they ordered and knew they were ordering: the promise of a cheap gadget with an exceptionally long lead time.

Exposing a potentially criminal operation on a forum where people come for advice on such matters, is not buyers remorse, no one here has bought something expensive they don't need or spent too much on. They're worried they've been scammed, which is totally different to regretting a legitimate purchase. 
This thread has already stopped people making the same mistake (yes, yet to be confirmed it's a mistake), it's berserk you seem to feel so much contempt for the buyers and a kind of 'tricked 'em fair and square' stance with the (potential) scammer. 

You do remember that you started this thread asking for views on the site, you were given three very quick opinions - mine included - which amounted to "walk away, it's dodgy", then two hours later you'd bought a phone from them for £430!  That was you, wasn't it?

There's no contempt for you, but it's kind of hard to have much sympathy to be honest, given how you started the thread, but for the record, I still think it's dodgy. I don't expect everyone to get what they paid for in the timeframe promised and even if they do, what warranty or support they'll have in the event of any problems is anyone's guess.

"then two hours later you'd bought a phone from them for £430!  That was you, wasn't it?"
The title of the thread even includes the word 'fallen', my second comment states my purchase method, perhaps I should have been clearer that I'd already made the purchase. 

My mistake, it was the "potentially" that led me to believe you had yet to purchase. Semantics I know,  but had you said "Fallen for a potential iPhone scam?" I'd have inferred you'd already purchased.

I've amended the thread title and added the company's website address, should push the thread up the search results for anyone researching them
