Tom Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 My mum bought something off this site last night and has just asked me if I can find the a number on the site a min ago as she needs to change the order http://www.domesticappliancedirect.co.uk/ But I coudlnt see anything and as soon as I opened the site it looked dodgy as f*ck anyway of seeing if it's actually legit? I feel she's been scammed but hopefully not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

System Requirements Return to search page Given that the company is only 2 months old and already up and trading on the internet I would say that it is a shell/dummy company and has been set up to scam. No legit company gets up and running that quickly (I'm an accountant and am talking from experience). The only other possibility is that this comapny took over a going concern and that is why it is so new. This has been happening very often recently.
