Nice to know that all our banks and credit card companies now have to bear the cost of naivety and greed.

Heaven forbid there should be discussion and community on a forum.

“In a perfect world”... unhelpful commentators  would be banned from this forum.  🙃🙃🙃 I’m unsure why you think a forum for people seeking help is the best place for you to put people down? Especially people who have been scared and anxious about the scam, and have alot of money on the line. The name calling is completely uncalled for. You have had this attitude since the start of the thread, on multiple occasions. “The thread need not have gone further than two pages” mate you’ve written over two pages of unhelpful comments yourself.

In the real world, one does a bit of diligence if the price seems too low to be realistic. I have had my new iPhones for over a month now and no problem at all! Delivered the following day as well!

Of course, on a public forum, not the answer you want, but people with shallow pockets and itchy feet will always be ready to splash their cash for the cheap trinket at the market stall!

At this point I'm just curious to see what his next fraudulent website will be.

And he's still on Trustpilot taking down reviews. Much as I want to trust Trustpilot, they're allowing him to do as he pleases.

Edit: Mr. Christopher Barratt wrote a review where he said 3PP refunded him and yet L. Guerra took it down. Keep in mind that was a 3 star review.

It's a losing battle.

As said by the OP.

Used my debit debit card, the company has reviews spanning back a good few months, if it's so obviously a scam, I wouldn't expect it to come up on a google shopping search, top of the results? Also, nothing negative online with a search 

Two clicks away on google using shopping, 4.1 trust pilot, similar positive reviews elsewhere, answers immediately to email... as for your unhelpful, judgemental comment, hope it made you feel superior for a few moments  

No, you offered no 'hep' in your replies, just seemingly gloating comments from a place of superiority - in your own words, you "criticised my naivety", great 'help'. If you have nothing at all constructive to offer, don't chime-in at all, you're showing your true colours.

Excellent reply, thank you, another self-riotous forum-member, obviously dropping by to get that sweet, sweet dopamine hit that only bashing out condescending post replies on MSE can provide. Enjoy!

Thankfully the loss will be picked up by the retailers merchant bank.... Who hopefully will have ringfenced enough of the account funds to make sure they are not too out of pocket.

It really is time that with companies like this that the Directors, or their family (known ploy to avoid blocks) are no longer allowed to hold office at any company.
That way we just avoid this sort of thing happening again & again.

As to the number of pages. Just why new posters kept posting "I've fallen for this as well" is a strange one. Rather than just monitoring the thread for updates.

Have y'all seen what a mess 3PP's Trustpilot page looks like right now? Nearly every new review has been reported.

Perhaps to give some idea of the scale of how many people had made the mistake, or possibly to make me feel like I wasn't the only one? 

Thanks everyone, sure a few good of us have learned a lesson. I hope everyone gets their money back without delay!
Peace

Well, I'm really looking forward to having the transaction fees I pay to Visa and Mastercard rising in order to pay for refunds for the many greedy gullible people who I'm sure a good few of whom have now learned a lesson.

Peace
