Fallen for a potential iPhone scam - 3pinproducts.com

So Tech Elite Ltd have applied to Companies House to be struck off / dissolved.



Anyone fancy objecting to that so that the assets cannot vanish?

I would suggest to keep this thread active by putting how chargeback process is going on for everyone and when you get refund.

Let's not blame the victims.

I am very surprised though how easy it is to do this type of scam. Why banks, company House etc aren't doing enough?

That’s a good idea. Come back when your chargeback for your cheap tac is processed and in your pocket!

Why are you so frustrated? Honestly.

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

Wow, and here I was thinking this online community platform offered advice and support...

Why should I pay bank charges to cover up for yours and others failings? Not the answer you want, but the bank should not be used to fund your cheap tac?

Blackbeard of thingy your funny! 😂 Why should you pay, you say? The question is have you ever paid? If so, then what did you pay? How would you pay? There is no rational reason a bank would charge you to pay. The protection is there from banks automatically, as Martin Lewis has described many times regarding purchases for over £100. This doesn’t require your unnecessary arrogant behaviour. So I humbly request you stop your bragging and egotistical mumbo jumbo. If you get a kick out of making these unhelpful remarks and it makes your day, then go ahead, and make yourself look important!

The point is that someone ends up paying for this, or do you think all the protection you enjoy is entirely free of cost?  It costs banks and credit card companies to deal with things like this and you can bet they'll pass that cost on.  To whom?  To retailers, in the form of increased transaction fees (who will then increase their prices to cover it), and to consumers in the form of lower savings rates, higher interest rates, etc. 

So we do all pay in the end, all to cover the cost of you fruitlessly chasing a bargain iPhone.

As per MoneySavingExpert, It’s, “Your Secret Financial Superhero”. Section 75 laws mean your credit card provider MUST protect purchases over £100 for free.
It’s clear as pie for all of the funny characters out there that love gloating about the misfortune of others. Just stop it now, it’s got nothing to do with your, “I’m paying for it”nonsense. We are all paying for it already! So, this is just protection we have already paid for.

So I've paid for protection against your gullibility.  Seems fair.

Where is this "misfortune" you describe?  Did you roll dice to decide where to buy your gadget and end up on 3PP?  Or were you swayed by unfeasible pricing?

Can’t understand your comprehension. You keep on bragging about paying for something which you did not. I was as clear as I could be when I said we all pay for the protection when we purchase. So I have already got my protection by Legal right! 

What you are saying only just amuses me. 

Finally, I do not roll the dice, the company was one of the top sites on Google search (I took a photo screenshot of it when I ordered) and that’s what led me to them. Their reviews seemed credible, but I would not expect the negative people to understand what I feel many people were victim to. 

I will no longer access this MSE topic because of negative people and their comments. This is supposed to be a support forum, not an abuse forum. But I can see that there is a lack of moderation by the site. So it’s best just to avoid.

 I wish everyone all the best. 

What abuse has been posted ?

Just don't buy from dodgy sites full stop, use reputable sites, if not sure do some research into them.

I'm not sure it would be possible for a site to more clearly a scam than this. Iphone 11? If you're very lucky you'll eventually get a no-brand Android phone with specs equivalent to a 2011 iphone.

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  

Well this comment didn’t age well.

Now, the website is offline. And he's still on Trustpilot removing reviews.

Sigh. Hope those who ordered that they learned a lesson.
