    All the best with your chargeback PerkyBoingo. Same thing happened to me and I will have to wait 30 days since it was a credit card 🤞
    I wanted to thankyou a million times but its a shame that I can press the button just once :T
  • Yes, unfortunately I’m another person fooled by this website just after Xmas,🙃😡  caught at a vulnerable moment., to buy some extra gifts. Only reason being I have used the perfume shop in the past via Amazon. 
    Called my bank straight away, advised to cancel cards, I know got to get in touch with my bank to try and get money.  Yes I got scammed through facebook… and told my order was being shipped from China… Red lights There!!!!🤬

    im glad I’ve read that I’m not the only person this has happened to, & hope Facebook and Perfume Shop are looking into this and taking action 
  • Also company is leggingsoutlespop that took out the money from my account

    just interested has anyone been shy and had their money refunded????

    Once I saw a great ad on Arteza markers on Fakebook. Already knowing the fake business, I went to the Arteza website itself, by typing it into the search engine and ordered from there. No problem. People need education and spreading awareness over these scams. I just hope schools have picked up on that and have it in their curriculum, repeatedly every year, to imprint it into the brains of our future generation. Although, with tikotking and their attention span reduced to the one of an amoeba, I have doubts.

    I always do the same.
    There used to be scam websites for Dr Martens and UGGs which quite often came up higher than the genuine website on a Google search.

    If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
