News: Watch out - GAMESTAR PRO website |
 |
 It's a long time since I've written anything on here but not getting many visitors sort of means that there's not much point. However, this bit of news I want to publish anyway. It's about a company called GAMESTAR PRO (www.gamestarpro.co.uk). I note that my site comes up quite quickly in Google with certain keywords so perhaps some new interest will be generated! :)
I did a search for a Nintendo DS Lite which I wanted to buy for someone for Christmas. After the usual Google searches I found a site with a bundle deal which was very attractive. I tried to place an order but I received a message saying that I'd entered my details incorrectly. I thought I may have made a mistake but sure enough, once again, same error reported. I sent a message through their web messaging system, as they have no phone number to call, asking them what's going on. Guess what, a week later and no replies.
So, why am I writing this now? Well, I've just received a call from Egg (we all know who Egg are, don't we?!). They asked me to confirm a couple of transactions, one for £1 as a test transaction and another for £366.90. Guess what? I've bought nothing! So I have now had to get my card blocked and have a new card sent out. Now, what would you be thinking if it happened to you? Probably the same as me, I suspect!
If anyone from GAMESTAR PRO happens to read this then perhaps you'd like to contact me and clear it up. It's quite likely that the two aren't connected but I must admit, a company who don't respond to their messages promptly after taking my card details don't inspire confidence in me when I get phone calls from my card company telling me my card is being used without my consent.
I think it's a scam. These are my opinions and unless I'm proved wrong by someone at the GAMESTAR PRO company then they stand!

This seems to be another eggsample of this trend!
Hope you sort it mate. |
