I was stupid enough to order a Samsung computer for $95.99. My credit card was charged $107.48 plus foreign transaction fee of $1.07. Although the site says it will be delivered within 3-5 business days, I waited two weeks. Then I tried to contact them, no replies. And no computer.It is more than 8 weeks. I filed a dispute, blocked my credit card. I got a full credit by the bank. Still I didn't hear a thing from those thieves. BEWARE OF THE SCAMMERS.
An Acer Swift 3 i7\8GB\512GB SSD for under $90 US? Sure, right. But I'll roll the dice to see what happens. I ordered it on April 17. They charged my card on April 18. Cleared Customs May 9, arrived in my city May 15 (carrier unknown or disclosed). I requested the tracking number twice by email, no response to either. Supposedly delivered to my front door May 22. It never showed up. Incidentally, on May 20, I filed a dispute with my credit card bank. I received a full credit on May 21. I figured that if it did show up and appeared legitimate, I'd remove the dispute. No need for that. SCAM.
HI everyone! My name is Galam. I am from Kazakhstan and I have a problem like this. Some times ago I saw the an advertising on Instagram and buy the laptop with cheap cost. And then they didn't deliver my good to me.Some times later this site was closed and renamed to viplaptopstore.com. Do not buy anything on this site. They are "swindlers". Be carefull!
The site is a cheat. Request not to transfer money to order goods, you will not received goods even after you have paid.Please do not buy anything since there is no way to track, call or receive the order..

This is a fraud. I bought a laptop and I haven't recieved it yet. I would like to know where I can claim , maybe together we can help nobody else have the same trouble.
I m also one of the victims..... Till now I didnt received my product.
This is a bogus and fraudulent site indeed. I paid $108 for a used laptop on 23 April and there has been no delivery or way to track or contact the site/people since. Now the website is redirected and domain unclaimed.Worse I got to know of Laptopvipmart as a sponsored Ad on Instagram which is a place I trust and hope to find Ads from legitimate services providers and sellers of goods. But it seems this whole Facebook bungle is all about taking the money from whosoever can pay for an AD, without some sort of verification or credibility of the service.
I had cancelled my credit card due to the fraud transaction with this laptopvipmart. And I succesfully get back my refund within like 1 week of time.
On 28 April 2018 I ordered Galaxy noted 8 on www.pcvipmart.com and now I have nothing from it. So how can I get my money back?
My Order Dated Wednesday 09 May 2018 Order No. 888799181 not delivered.

A website having https doesn't mean it is not fraudulent. It just mean your the data between your web browser and the website is encrypted.ContAct your bank and dispute the transaction. Your bank should investigate, cancel the transaction and refund your money.

I paid $150AUD, all paper work related to this amount, but when it come out of my bank, it was $190.I sent 5 emails to these grubs with no answer as to why the difference in the money.I have now entered a dispute through my bank to reclaim the money, the bank cancelled my card and I have a new cardJust have to wait now until something happensDont deal with these grubs
I also made an order, the money was withdrawn from the bank account. Now the site has been deleted.
Their website is not working

Hello I haven't made a purchase but I believe you can seek a refund if paid for through Paypal
But would bank refund money after 12 days from purchase?
You have up to 30 days for most banks to report fraudulent transactions. Ask your bank.
