Has anyone bought from mobelo.shop?

Options
As by subject. There are cheap items for sale, but my provider is blocking it (while my mobile operator is allowing it).

Any experience?
Thanks.

    Hi

    Tadley Baggie is correct.

    I tried to make a payment on what I thought was the safe  Costco website. I had no suspicions because I had checked the website to be secure before I proceeded to purchase and the payment section claimed "all transactions are secure and encrypted"

    Very luckily for me my Bank declined the payment.

    I have spent the best part of an hour with my Bank's fraud department cancelling my credit card. They are aware of a number of recent Costco payment scams, and that is why they declined my payment.

    Having investigated further I found out that costco do not offer time countdown sales and they do not send a purchaser to checkout unless they have a membership ID first. I have also seen a warning against using mobelo.shop.

    I have no idea how the Costco safe website suddenly became a scammers website, but if my payment had gone through, my money would have gone to an individual named "SP JAIME MARTINEZ " and the payment had been attempted via the mobelo.shop.

    Just to make you aware in case you attempt purchases with  the Costco website.

    I shall also inform Action Fraud.

    You are welcome.

    I discovered this morning that I have now been locked out of my Sainsbury's account for too many log in attempts. I have not even used that account recently. 

    I guess this is one of many downsides I shall encounter.
