    Wife got conned by an online store http://www.barboursales.co.uk website looks pretty good apart from no telephone number. Paid by CC so should be ok.

    Seems to have links to China, also. Loads of other dodgy sites on that server (which I’ll not list here because Spambots).

    Yeah that does look somewhat legit at first glance although the complete lack of any contact details and the fact it’s advertising the “brand new 2013 collection” does seem very fishy.

    For the technologically inclined you can quickly make a WHOIS request and see that domain was originally registered in China and is now owned by someone in LA.

    EDIT: like what Cougar did ^^^

    Hopefully you’ll get your money back!

    Customers can buy with confidence as we are not just an online business but also a long established retail store where you can visit in person or talk to our knowledgeable staff on the telephone.

    Which would be nice if there was a phone number to call them on
    Looks likea decent site but enough dodgy English and lack of contact details to put me off

    We have alerted Barbour to the website also.
