Another fake website, clearly exactly the same as Alvinashop.xyz :www.behregoods.xyz
On 1st August 2018 I ordered a pair of front wind deflectors for my Ford Grand Tourneo from this site. I checked it was https and had the padlock, all good. Also the ssl certificate was validated.I paid with my debit card, the sum of £35.00 which was the absolute total displayed on the website. No confirmation email though.I did fail to notice the website was .xyz which I have since discovered is best to avoid.On 2nd August I checked my bank account and saw "Payavisit shop" in Bejing had taken the sum of £49.79p The website appeared to be a UK one, with Guaranteed next day delivery, free over £15.00 and up to 30 days refund.I have since emailed their so called support to cancel the item / ask for a refund / and where is my order.....with absolutely no response other than one solitary email four days after purchase which states thus.."We have got your order，thank you for shopping from us,your order is being processed.If there is a delay in receiving goods due to logistics or customs during shipment, please understand! Please wait with patience during this period, if you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us,thanks. Best regards.Customer service team"...That was six weeks ago, then I saw this website saying beware fraudulent....so now I have cancelled my debit card which I used as payment and am waiting on a new one.Sadly I have attempted to register on this website and the email confirmation has never arrived.Thank You for your efforts anyway. babs54.
