  • Have you ordered anything from them? Looks like a scam site - look at the FAQ page - it's all just repeated gibberish in a foreign language

    That's the most obvious scam website of the decade.
    Avoid it at all costs.

    The foreign language is called “false Latin”.  There are some genuine Latin words/phrases but most of it is meaningless.  
  • When I worked in IT the developers used to use faux latin in their programming - for beta testing.  So maybe the site isn't finished?

  • Hi, this £1.59 for 6 kitchen rolls does have a problem. I tried it HSBC blocked it as they were trying to set up Google Pay but what did happen was a secondary company' Aliexpress seemed to get the card info even though they were not the name of the company selling the kitchen rolls and put through 6 small transactions of £6 to £7 one after another. Nothing huge but if that amount was per one foolish customer then what about 1000 customers, it soon mounts up. Anyway HSBC  fraud team are aware and have reimbursed.
  • Is there no independent way of shutting such obvious cons down?
