Have I just torn up £50??

[SVB]

So I’m normally the most sceptical person regarding internet offers, if it is too good to be true, it is not.

However, I’ve just chucked £50 at this:

https://fashionbuy1989.myshopify.com/pr ... 3d-printer

Will I ever see any product?

Proof of my miss-trust, I used a pre-pay card we keep for holidays etc that has not credit facility etc and not tied to any household payments so the pita is bounded if it all goes wrong.

What odds do you give me on

A) Getting anything
B) getting something as good as the ad that works?

There's no way a laser or CNC mill comes with that. For the basic £50 you will have a 3d printer with a tiny bed size.

That website is on this scam list, So you may have parted ways with your £50.

It's always worth googling the website name if something seems fishy or if it's not a reputable retailer.

THanks. Cancelling with card provider now.

The actual machine shown is called a Snapmaker (https://www.snapmaker.com/) which they sell for around $800. Looks a pretty nifty machine to be honest but it definitely wouldn't be selling at £50

Don't hang around they only have 9.9 million units left in stock!!

Well that's items not just this - but "we don't really have it" items nonetheless.

that website scam list now shared on FB, TY.

Yeah I doubt you will get anything.

Whenever I think something is dodgy like this I always pay by Paypal, it's easy to get my money back if nothing arrives. I notice this site does not accept paypal.

I think "Only 9998275 items left in stock!" might give a clue that it is a con.

I've reported it to shoppify - they don't appear to be that interested at all - but also to Snapmaker who are aware of shenanigans going on on t'internet. They've issued a statement

Yes - the trail is obvious in hindsight.

C/Card been great - stopped transaction and refund approach agreed.

Caveat emptor!

If you still want to get into 3d printing, Aldi have one for £300 at the moment from a known maker which might be worth a look?

Doesn't look like a scam to me.

On another unrelated note, I'd like to introduce you to my uncle. He's a Nigerian Prince and he's in a bit of a pickle getting £70 million out of his account.

Please let me know if I can help in any way!

No need,

His uncle contacted me 2 weeks ago, just sent him my bank details, also sent him my PIN number so he can check the payment has got to my account ok.

Shopify finally took it down, but it took them long enough.
