Re: beware scam from China
Thanks all, for your advice. I have been emailing and sending online messages to both the firm and the finance firm who dealt with the money. Fristpay.I've not heard from the firm, dynamitedesign, but I did get a funny email from fristpay in very odd English! Offered me 15% compensation. Cheek! I wrote back quite politely declined her kind offer but said I wanted a full refund and nothing less than this would be acceptable, and I offered to send back the goods. I was amazed to get a second reply telling me to keep the goods and offering advice.
Here's what they wrote, it's quite amusing...
Email 1.
Hello, sorry for the problem, there may be some problems with the supplier, we will deal with it and contact the supplier to check it,
sorry to bring you lost, we would like to provide you 15% refund as
compensation, hope you can consider it.
Emily
Email2.
Hello, if you want to return the goods, you need to pay the high
shipping fee by yourself, it will cost you more, it is not benefit for
you . you can go to the courier company to ask first,
then decide it. it is better for you to keep the goods, we also give
you the refund as compensation
Emily
I sold the fake black Converse trainers at a local Residents Association table top sale this morning for £3!!!
It will be interesting to see if any money arrives in my account. I'm not holding my breath.

Please do not reply to any of my posts I put up when quoting another person.

"Then from China I received a package containing a rubbish pair of plain black trainers!"
What I SHOULD'VE said was that I'd recently ORDERED a pair of very pretty multicoloured Converse ladies trainers...and then from China came a rubbish pair of fake Converse plain black trainers.
I'm sorry it was unclear.
This was the link I thought folks might find interesting....http://www.complaintsboard.com/compl...s-c701056.html
It would appear that fristpay is the fraudulent company trading under dozens of scam clothing and shoes websites

As you did receive the goods even so they were sub standard makes it harder to claim against your credit or deposit card.

Re: beware scam from China
ruthio sorry to hear what has happened, the trainers in question won't have been cheap.I understood what you meant regarding the ones you received, there would be no mistaking a pair of genuine converse trainers and the fake ones weren't even the right colour.
I think many of us have had a bad experience or two with buying things on-line, I have had a few bad experiences and it usually amounts to something rubbish arriving from China which is nothing like the item you believed you were buying.
I now try to stick to well know and recognised companies on-line. If something seems like a really good bargain then it's often a scam.
Some people have bought items for thousands of pounds, jewellery is a favourite one and wedding dresses.
There are lists a mile long of fake companies, I suppose the internet is the ideal way for them to con people and the problem is that it all looks so genuine.
I hope you can get your money back but it may well be difficult.

This is what came back...
"Hello, you can keep the parcel, we'd like to give you 20% refund as compensation.
Emily"
Now what do I do??!!
Do I stick out for more, or accept their rotten offer of 20%.
My husband says ask for 50% as a part refund and gesture of goodwill.
My friend says take the 20% and run!!!!!
