BuyGreenDot - bogus site warning

[wibblywobbly]

There is a site advertising on the web, and via Google Shopping, that is offering electrical goods at discount prices, and comes top of the 'lowest prices' lists. Me, being me, did a bit of research on them as their prices were lower than anyone else's. It pays to use the internet to find out these things...from another forum...

This has already been discussed but over 40 people have fallen foul of this site................Just to highlight the issue........

Warning from Trading Standards - bogus website
Bexley Trading Standards Team is warning residents about a bogus website allegedly located in Crayford that offers low-priced electrical equipment and accessories.

www.buygreendot.com claims to be based in Bourne Road Crayford but the address is false and the telephone number given is in fact a local private residence.

The appropriate authorities have been alerted but, in the meantime, Trading Standards' advice is not to place any orders on the website and don't give your credit or debit card details.

If you have already paid for goods, you should report the matter to Consumer Direct - the government telephone and online advice service - at http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/contac ... omplain.or by telephoning 08454 04 05 06. If you paid by credit or debit card, you should notify the card issuer as soon as possible.

The information gathered by Consumer Direct will be treated in confidence but will help with subsequent investigations by Trading Standards and other enforcement agencies.
