Anyone have any info on Gemphoria?

Hey there

I'm helping someone out with some bills and spotted a number of transactions on their bank statements each month from a company called Gemphoria in Redditch.  It seems unlikely that this person would be buying from them as they seem to be all online (which the individual isn't) but I didn't know if they had other ways to sell things.  Catalogue through the post might be likely but I couldn't spot anything online about this.  Other transactions are with Damart that I know does mail order and is what I would expect to see. 

I won't be able to chat with this individual for a couple of weeks but just wanted to gather info in the meantime.  I'm concerned that she may have been scammed out of her debit card or similar as there's a number of transactions that just don't look right.   But I didn't want to go in all heavy handed.

They are a legitimate company. Parent buys from them - they sell on QVC type shopping channels. So she may well have seen the items on TV then been ordering by phone - that’s what parent used to do.

They sell jewellery – overpriced in my opinion – but parent has always been quite happy with the stuff she’s bought from them and she’s returned items for refunds with no issues as well.
