PC Giant BUYER BEWARE

Ordered items from PC Giant on 26/07. They took the payment the next
day. They haven't dispatched my items. They don't respond to emails or
their telephone number.

Today I checked their website and found this message, which they must
have posted on the 03/08.

Refurbishment Scheduled For August 2006
Please note our store is Currently Closed for 3 weeks
Due to Refurbishment. Our services are expected to return to
normal on the 21st August 2006 Please if you
have any queries these will be answered within the next 28 days.

If you buy here, you are an idiot like me. :-(

That message may not be true. It may be a ruse to take the heat off
whilst they scarper!

Strange thing - I've just done a whois on www.pcgiant.co.uk and...

they seem to be using an IP address in a range owned by NASA ????

Have I got my wires crossed or are NASA into the ISP business these days?

Not here it isn't - however, they are apparently they are closed for 3 weeks

There is a good reason why people from Manchester hate people from
