Hello,
You need to provide sources or evidence to back such accusations. Otherwise it could be that you are using the forum to make libellous false allegations.

Hello,

The companies do not exist in companies house.
The email contacts are returned as undeliverable (the only means of contact)
The location addresses are houses in the UK.
All the websites are virtually identical
If you do buy something (I did) there is no conformation email and no goods arrive, the money goes to somewhere in Spain in euros when they say they are UK companies selling in pounds sterling.

Please remove post if you think necessary, it's just a warning to others.

There are literally thousands of these ‘companies’, there’s little point in starting a list, it’s down to us buyers to check them out as need be. Caveat emptor/buyer beware. So old a lesson it’s in Latin.

I agree it was a very small loss, I'll stick to sites I know in future and use due diligence.

A hard and annoying mistake we’ve all made at some point. It irks for sure.

Thanks. Yeah, that sucks. Sorry you got scammed. As said, there are loads of sites that range from outright scams to those that are just so bad they may as well be scams.
I looked at a couple of the sites and the shopharborough one has a lot of red flags. Just for starters:

• Very basic looking site
• Far too large a range of products for a company one hasn’t heard of.
• Whole sections selling UK illegal products, such as electric stun guns!
• All the text using first letter capitalisation,
• No address in the Delivery section
• Copy paste text in the legal area where they didn’t fill in what jurisdiction they operate in.

Far too many such sites to list.
