Just trying to warn people about bothe.shop it's doing the rounds selling model cars and aircraft, they just take your money and don't send anything, just been talking to my credit card company and all the banks and credit card companies are now aware of this and trying to put a stop to it, there are other stores that do the same.

Yes, that's obviously a scam site.
To help you spot the next one, here's what I noticed:
They sell all things well below the RRP - the odd item being 90+% off might have an explanation, but everything? That doesn't tend to happen, so invites further investigation.
The 'About us' page is about ladies fashion, which they do not sell. This suggests the site was put together quickly, copied and pasted from somewhere else.
The 'Contact us' page lists only an email address, no phone number or physical address. This means they're impossible to contact if things go wrong.
The only address on the entire site is a pharmacy in France, which are unlikely to sell model cars.
A Google search shows many more stories like yours.
There will be other red flags, no doubt, but next time you spot 'bargains', if you do five minutes of research first, it'll save hours on the phone to your bank later.5
