I've come across this thread after waiting for an order for a

graphics
card cooler since 26th Feb, so it's not just limited to games. My
order number is just below 100, so this has been going on for a

while.
I was told the order was dispatched on 3rd March, it never turned up,
I managed to get through a couple of times and was told it was being
dispatched that day, it never turned up.

I then got through and spoke to someone who was referred to as the
"manager". He told me that it was in stock and the original order

must
have been lost by the couriers. He said a new one was being

dispatched
that day and it would be with me by Wednesday 16th at the latest.
Guess what...... nothing turned up. I've mailed them and told them
that either the item turns up in the next two days, or I would be
informing the Police and Trading Standards. I then got the delays
e-mail that has been mentioned. I don't think it's a case of stalling
until they have it in stock, I don't think there's anything there in
the first place. They are quick enough to take the money, which makes
me think this is an just one big scam. The phone now just rings and
rings or is engaged.

I mailed them on Monday to tell them they either cancel my order and
give me a full refund, and confirm this to me, or I call the Police.
They haven't responded so I've passed their details on to the boys in
blue.

As a follow up, I tried ringing the other number mentioned in these
posts this morning, and got a message saying the company was closed
and is open from 9am Mon-Fri. It was 9:45, so I'm guessing they're
closed for good.

I am now feeling this is a complete fraud. I don't care how busy they
suggest they are, if they're too busy to post the goods, they're too
busy to take the money..... and they seem quick enough to do this.
I'll let you know what I hear back from the Police, but my advice is
to steer clear and cancel your orders if you can. Maybe we should all
approach the Police as a collective as they may take notice.
