Internet Hobbies store

[tarbrush]

Does anyone have any experience good or bad dealing with Internet Hobbies.  I ordered a kit from them about a month ago, haven't received anything yet and they don' answer my e-mails.

 

thanks for your help

If they were in EU I would easily rank them as fraud. No references or links to safe trading institutions, no independent reviewers site where you can check them out.

Call them, seems they list a phone number.

I've never purchased from them. I second giving them a call.

Did you order by credit card? Given the lack of ability to validate the store I would seriously consider disputing the charge if possible. I’m not certain if you have to do that within a certain timeframe or not.

sorry but a quick google checks says avoid at all cost

I called my bank this morning and am going there this afternoon to file a fraud claim.

 

the bank had an additional number for Internet Hobbies which they asked me to call first.  when you call you get an answering machine telling you to leave a message, you hear the beep and when you start talking it hangs up.  when you call the phone number on their website the answering machine says the mailbox is full and can't take any more messages.  

 

hopefully I don't wind up losing my money for the purchase.  did I learn anything from this?  you bet!

Since GOOGLE search brings them up as a  spam ad superimposition on the page., and they are either a full blown scam or have crashed - with a full mailbox and no live contact, perhaps a rough  wave  washed the whole crew out to sea -  GOOGLE should be notified that they are enabling a criminal enterprise.   The way GOOGLE handles it will indicate whether GOOGLE too is a scam at base or legit.

Looks like they have an "F" on the BBB site.

The BBB website lists multiple complaints similar to the above.
