Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The website or online store "Kingtol" at www.kingtol.com is fraudulent. Online users are advised to stay away from the fraudulent website that claims to sell power tools, because those who have shopped from it, 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. Therefore, we do not recommend purchasing or visiting kingtol.com.
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.

Is there anywhere to complain against them?
I cant understand how come FB, Banks, etc are helping these thieves to change names, account in order to steal our money?Yes, I'm another victim of Kingtol.com
It appears that I have been scammed... why do I continually think that people do the right thing. Maybe this time it will sink in.
I recommend all users of online purchases to buy in recommended and recognized sites. The shop is a fake and I was scammed by it. The products on the page are not the same as what you will receive.
I was a victim of kingtol, I bought products from the webpage but I never received it. I will try contact the bank to try recover back my money
Kingtol is a fraudulent site, I made a purchase and the next day appeared purchases with the credit card used for that purchase, the website no longer exists, the merchandise purchased does not appear and there is no way to claim. Watch out!
Yep I’m another one they ripped off $240 au. I’m struggling father of two and after having all my tools stolen.I thought that maybe here is chance to get them back. But no. It’s just a couple of putrid thieves siting at a computer taking people’s hard earned money.I would love to get my hands on you.
this website is on facebook, beware it is a scam
This website is all over the internet and surprised nobody is doing anything about it. Is probably scamming hundreds if not thousands of people a day. Just if it looks to good to be true is not true.
Selling quality power tools at bargain prices. The site has https:// so apparently a verified site. The email bounces back so no way to follow up on your order. Its been 12 days now and no sign of goods or this maggot scum ripoff merchants. WARNING don't buy anything that seems too good to be true. That said, what the h**l are the authorities going to do about this?will any effort be made to capture and jail these criminals? $280 AU is a lot of money to most people. I thought if you had the HTTP(S) meant the site is legit and safe. So much for that pile of crock. Same old story - buyer beware and stop paying the other lechers who claim to be protecting you (government). No one gives a s*** about your unfortunate experience unless they can make money from it. Disappointing. Dave.G
HTTPS doesn't verify that a website is not fraudulent. It just means the connection between the website and the user is secured.
Hi!I got here because of kingtol.com, as their prices looked too good to be real.I wrote them a letter with a kind of technical question, but got no reply, even formal and automatic "Thank you for your mail, we'ļl approach you later...", etc.So I surfed the web and found your site, which justified my suspicions.Thank you, guys!!
