Hello!
I found a websites that seems to belong to an UK based company... They have very good prices and they ship free across Europe for orders larger than 100 EUR. For me seems to be to good to be true. On their website I found this info:

First Cameras is a trading name of Camera Warehouse Ltd.

Registered Office:
13 Frensham Road
Norwich, NR3 2BT
United Kingdom
Phone: 0845 111 1342

Camera Warehouse Ltd is registered in England & Wales (Registered Number: 06523440).

Camera Warehouse Ltd’s VAT Registration Number is: 350 4861 74.

If anyone purchased anything from them, please let me know if is a reliable dealer.

Thanks in advance,

Mihai
 
Hi all,

I'm the Technical Writer and resident forum moderator/browser at Warehouse Express and just though I'd better chip in to confirm what others have said, namely that Warehouse Express has no links whatsoever with firstcameras.net, firstcamerashop.net, first-cameras.net, mosxpress.com or any other websites that, for reasons best known to them, are using our contact details in their customer service sections.

Whilst it would be bad manners (and, I believe, a breach of the rules) to suggest that you only shop at the authentic warehouseexpress.com website, I would strongly suggest that you avoid any of these potentially fraudulent websites and spend your hard earned money at a more well known and reputable retailer - even if that isn't us!

Best regards,

Ben
 
Thank you Ben! I fully agree that these fraudulent websites must be avoided!
 
This firm firstcameras.net is really not ok! I ordered some and never received it. When I try to login today, the site seams 'dead'. I hope the same hapened to the criminals that run the site. Going to the police in Holland is not of any use. So bye bye money and learn a lesson.
 
Sorry to hear about your experience William... But I still believe that police has to help you because the infractors are from EU... It must be a way to help with this situation...
 
Hi,

I stupidly didn´t check this website out before sending these gangsters 549 of my hard earned Euros. I haven´t received anything yet. Does anybody know what lines of recouperation are open to me....I feel sick

thanks
 
@Fatboy1:

How did you pay? If via credit card, you have some comeback.
 
Always pay by credit card as an extra means of security after checking out the sellers first
would it be worth asking someone on TP who lives in Norwich to check out their address for you.

aparently it is an address but sadly not their address...
I am reporting their page as fraudulent but there doesn´t seem to be too much more i can do. It seems absurd to me that the website is still functioning and hosted when it is apparent that they are blatantly robbing the public.
 
Hmm....sorry, missed the post from WEX rep.
 
I'm surprised that Warehouse Express haven't done more about this as this bogus firm is stating that they are part of the Warehouse Express Group.

It's ridiculous that banks allow accounts to be operated when blatant fraud is happening.
 
i think the bank (until the police intervene to freeze accounts) only think about the money passing through and the commissions etc. I do however agree, when the activity is so obviously fraudulent and the police have been notified (although their response hasn´t really been the most adequate) i can´t see why the account still accepts what is tantamount to stolen money.
 
You can also take steps to freeze the account. Although, chances are they empty the account immediately anyway but it would certainly stop them from continuing to trade.

Of course one great protection against this is to have more debt owing to the bank than the actual funds in the account. In other words if they've got a loan from the bank that has a balance which is higher than the current funds in the account then it can't be frozen because of the floating charge held by the bank.
 
Some of the banks are just not responsible enough.

Had a situation a few years ago where a hard to get component we needed at work was found on a Chinese brokers web site.
The seller after checks were found to be using an Irish companies details and registration number etc. and were clearly fraudulent.

We had their HSBC bank account details for the transfers.
All faxes & letters to HSBC went unanswered.
