Default Need your Help - BG Stores

Hi all,

Been on this site now for about 3 years and can safely say that there are some clever dudes on here, hence this email.

Brought 2 sets of trainers from B.G Stores, Footwear. Recieved one set, was sent over from thailand (bet these are fake), still waiting for the second set. Sent endless emails, asking where they are / status. Was sent back a couple of replies, stating they had run out, then was sent a reply saying they had a pair and were sending them out.

So, this was 5 weeks ago, no trainers, no more replies. Ive sent tons more mails, no replies, tried ringing the number on the website, which is disconnected, not sounding good this is it.

So, gents, I need your help. I need to find a working telephone number of BG Stores.biz. I want my f**king trainers. Or other ways of getting through to these robbing *****.

Dont ask me how I paid for them, yes Im a dick, I had to transfer the amount via bank transfers. So, no credit card, no come back on my credit company.

So, any advice ?? Could I call my bank and ask them to grab the monies back ??

Help gents, I need help, and my head tested for being a ****, but the idea of half price trainers was just too good a deal to miss.

Also, I would suggest NO ONE EVER BUY TRAINERS FOR THIS SITE !

Phone number dead.

No mention of the company registration on the site but checked with co's house, could not see them there.
WebCHeck - Select Search Results
You could check with the web designers, see if they have any info to share or be sneaky and say that the chaps from GBS reccommended the web design co to you, get them chatting and see if they have a mobile or work number for them as you have lost it.

I can't see you getting either your money back or the second pair of trainers back either. If you do then well done!!! But take note of my two points

The first pair were fake to begin with. Had you known when ordering? A number of laws have been broken by them producing and you accepting counterfeit goods.

Secondly you paid via money transfer. I'm not too sure how easy it would be to recover your funds. Its not like this company are based in the UK so the chances of tracking them down are limited.

Take it on the chin mate. Normally if things are too good to be true they generally turn out to be just that.

Regards

ESH - Wise words and I sort of half know this. I paid £90 for 2 sets, so, not a large amount to loose, but I had being screwed over. If anything, if this topic stops anyone else buying from them, then good.

Maybe worth a call to Trading standards and Watchdog as well.

£ 90.00 may not be a lot to you, imagine all the other £ 90's - soon adds up
