Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The website or online store FG VIPS located at www.fgvips.com, which claims to sell fish finders, fishing rods, fishing reels and other accessories, is fraudulent. Online users are advised to stay away from the fraudulent website that has fake BBB Rating and Google Trusted Store seals. Remember, online users who shop from the fraudulent website run the risk of their personal, credit card and other payment processing information getting stolen by cyber-criminals and used fraudulently. They also run the risk of receiving counterfeit goods, or poor quality goods that look nothing like what was advertised.
The cybercriminals behind the fake website will use another website and change the name once the current website has been taken down. Therefore, only shop on popular and reputable websites. And, for online users who have already used their credit cards on the website, are asked to contact their banks for help. They should let their banks know that they have unknowingly used their credit cards on an untrustworthy website.

I also got scammed! Be very sure to change your debit, credit or any other card you may have used. This is a bogus company full of garbage and trash “people”! One day soon, they will face justice from an angry God!
I got scammed also. They stole my money but I never received any goods. I cancelled my card and reported them.
Ordered a fish finder on this site and it has never arrived. New it was to good to be true. Stay away from this site.
Same as all the rest. Ordered my sounder thinking all the while that the price was to good to be true. It was. Looked at the credit card statement and saw that fgvips overcharged and the fake tracking is probably going to go on for a week or two more after five weeks already. I was really looking to this fish finder upgrade. Wish I'd looked here first!
Yes it is another fraud store. They will have your shipping tracked it goes on for a money then they stay not deliverable.
Yes, they are, we have to report them to the police.
Keep posting! If ANYONE RECEIVES A PRODUCT... POST IT! Unfortunately we all want to believe that there is a great deal to be had by only those of us that search it out. That is EXACTLY what these sc*mbags depend on!
I immediately cancelled and changed my card numbers. I WILL get my money back when the credit card company is satisfied that this is a fraudulent transaction.In the meantime, I have to carry the balance. If anyone can direct me to the perps, I have a box of 000'sThat I will not hesitate to deliver to there face! The only purge that works is swift and sure!
If any one can direct me to there location, I will gladly administer swift justice!
Has anyone received thier goods?

I had the same experience.
why are facebook not doing anything about fgvips they have been scaming for months
facebook should take accountability as this is clearly a scam and they are still advertising
Well I just got scammed ! Should of know better when I purchased a 90 graph and they charged 146 dollars ! Then tried to contact them is when I realized it was bogus !My hard earned money to a heartless person. He will answer to the good Lord when his tail dies.
This site has and F rating with the BBB. It is fraudulent and needs to be shut down.
I just got beat out of $83 dollars on this bogus store on FACEBOOK .
Why do Facebook allow these thieves to continue to advertise on their site I think they are just has bad as the b*stards..... James.
got scammed as well, the old saying comes true again - too good to be true - it normally is - B*STARDS
Thieves, curse them, do not deal with them.
I got suspicious when I went to pay by PayPal and they wanted all my bank details. definately scammers,!
I ordered a sea navigator and fish finder combo lawrence ti7 on july 9 2018.It was $139 sale on the site. Surprisingly i was given a receipt of $189 from taichen store in beijing.But on my bank it was debited $254.A tracking number was given...I waited and waited...The tracking was never any of the mailing oe freight companies, it looks like it them making the input activities in the track record.In the end after a month it says it was delivered in front my doors at calamvale qld australia around 4.45 pm on sept 1 2018.I was vacuuming my car at that time, but never received any parcel. There was no email back address, no contacts. When i check on their site, all i can find is a scam report...So there went my $254 hard earned money.I felt so bad!
I was going to order a fish finder but luckily the NAB rejected the payment saying that this company was fraudulent, Facebook should block the ads
Yes, they should shut them down. Tarnishing Facebook's reputation too
I too have fallen a victim here in Australia. I ordered a sounder and on the tracking it's also saying it was delivered to my front door after lengthy delays but never was delivered at all. These people are scum and should not be aloud to get away with this.Is there anyway we the victims of this scam do anything about this ?Regards Jason Tasmania Australia.
They are using this email address: order-onlinesupport.trade
Yip.... I got stung too.My bad for not doing my research properly, but how on earth can thriving so and so's operate through a global organization such as facebook.Once again, its your honest, hard working, everyday battler that gets hurt, and these crims go on their merry way taking our hard earned...PI-S-D OFF !!!
unknowing I used this web site in July early. I first searched the web for complaints with non showing I decided to purchase a sounder.Can get no contact from them or any other details. Was overcharged and have not received any goods. Site supposedly used PayPal but appears to be a scam.
Yep I just recently got stung the very same way thought. I was getting a great bargain only to wait a month and a half to have nothing turn up and no response from them or any way of contacting them scum of the earth, these mongrels
This person has just started a new online website called T hustores; it is exactly the same as fgvips; so watch out, he is still out there.
These people are scum of the earth
How do I get my money back
Hello, I also ordered from this site on 11.06.218 but nothing has arrived at the moment. What can you do to stop these b**tards?
Hi. Yes I too have purchased from them. I received my order number. Also when check, Tracking it’s updating daily to were it is. Now it’s been delivered to Air Port after courier scanned. Interesting what happens next.
Sorry to say but is never arrives. Mine also said many updates for one month, then said arrived at door. Never arrived. Scam. Spread the word about them.Every one needs to know they a scam. Close or change credit card details. Contact your bank and tell them it’s a scam site. They may give your money back to you.
Fellow readers unfortunately we too fell victims of this fake website charging our card. How can we proceed now? Any tips by anyone?
Dispute the charges with your bank.
