Anyone actually managed to complete an order via the link ??
Sounds far to good to be true.
I tried and failed , not letting me complete the order dude to payment errors ( there were none ) and the reasons given were in poorly presented english sentences ( a bit like the Chinese translations of some of the products sold on Amazon etc ).
So I call BS on the “sale” but would be nice to be proven wrong. Procrastination is the thief of time!!

@Windowlicker keep a close eye on your bank account. If you said there were no mistakes in your payment info, that means the scammer has your payment info. Maybe even block your card now. MY14 TDV6

I know I know  I’m a dumbass , I have been checking just now , but it could occur at any point I guess.
I even thought whilst filling in the details , this isn’t right , it can’t be feasible to be this good of a deal 
Hopefully I haven’t set the ball rolling on something  Procrastination is the thief of time!!

So sorry guys!!! Looks like I was duped as my bank have now texted fraudulent activity.
I've removed the link above, sorry for anyone caught in it. FFS.
I've also cancelled that card manually on my bank's App.
The 75.00 (which weirdly went through as 84.50) I couldn't give two hoots about, it is now the fact that they have my name, address, email, password etc. Goddammit going to need a few hours this afternoon at the computer changing every bl**dy password on all the apps/sites. What a pain in the  .

I have temporarily frozen online /app/mail order payments on my bank app so hopefully that eliminates any losses 🙏🏼
Don’t know if that is now going to affect any pending payments my account is showing for recent eBay purchases.  Procrastination is the thief of time!!

It's very convincing, there's no shame in falling for it. 
I stumbled across what's presumably the same site a few weeks ago. I was considering a tailgate tent/shelter for a trip across Spain & France I'm considering doing next year and was just half heartedly searching on my phone.
Fortunately, I decided I'd buy it later via my pc at my office, which is easier for me than on my phone (fat fingers). It was whilst driving to my office that it dawned on me that it all seemed a little to good to be true, so I checked it out.

Wow Moo that stinks, sorry to hear that.
I've now sitting here using separate random passwords for every single website and app that I use. Painfully slow (22 down so far and about 40 more to go).
I gave these twits my password that I generally use for all 'low key' stuff like online shopping etc. I have a more secure randomised password for banks and financial and my Google account, so thankfully they won't get into that stuff.
One thing I've learned is how superb the Norton Password Manager app is on my phone. It creates randomised passwords for each and every login so that if one gets compromised, it doesn't really matter. Wish I'd used it earlier.

Makes my £28 on dangerous/useless/NOT STAINLESS wheel nuts look quite tame.
