RE: www.r171.co.uk orders

I have been reading posts about this so-called company for several months and I am amazed that those who have outstanding, undelivered orders have not demanded return of their money. If I had an order 'out there' I would call my credit card company this morning and request the charge be removed from my account. It is clear that this might be a 'sham' company with no product to ship. Get your money back, folks. There is no chance in hell that you will ever see the product you ordered. Let you credit card company go after their money. They have more clout than any individual customer.

These types of 'companies' operate like a pyramid scheme. Build a web site, unregistered company with a nice logo, take orders, process the credit cards, ship no products, when customers complain, make excuses, when legal action is threatened, pay partial refunds from charges to other, new customers, continue process until claims far exceed funds available, close up shop without notice, reopen under a new company logo, start process over again. Foreign customers such as those in the US will have zero recourse in the courts, in any case the dollar figure would put a case like this in small claims court anyway. It is a great scam and there have been hundreds of these since the proliferation of Internet sales.
