Klarone scam

I ordered a pair of night-driving glasses from this firm on 21st of October. No sign of them arriving. I always take a screenshot of any order so tried their website - suspended!

Looked up the transaction on my Nationwide site and got a phone number. No surprise - call failed.
I rarely buy from Facebook ads, but this time I fell for the ad. Thank goodness it was just £19.99 not a lot.

Website seems to be working.

The website has only been registered for just over a couple of weeks.

People have been flogging yellow tinted glasses for many years. Never see the "LiveSaver' branding before.

Looks like a drop-ship website - I'd expect any items ordered to take at least 10-14 days to arrive if they're being sent from PRC.

Thanks. I put in klaxons.com as shown on my screenshot. No joy. The phone number on the Nationwide site didn't work either.
perhaps I'm impatient.

All the T&Cs etc look cut and paste or AI generated. At least they tell you which UK trading laws they are breaking 😲
