Purchased a Nespresso Pixie, as others have said I was stupid enough to pay by bank transfer as their site looked professional and they had a UK address. Nothing arrived, clearly they have disappeared as quickly as they appeared. I can't imagine I will see any of my money back, a lesson learnt for me. Instead of getting a bargain I have had to repurchase so it cost me double.

  • hi ive actually been to the police and the fsa,the account in question is actually in cambridgeshire.also the police have told me the account in question was actually being investigated by the bank itself!if so why were the fund to and from the fraudelant account not frozen?why were we not contacted by barclays instantly?why does this only appear to be happening in barclays banks?are you from the uk?if so i suggest going to the police in person,dont rely on emails and also call action frauud immediately.if your in the uk alert the bbcs watchdog as the more of us that kick up about the way the supposed oh so safe barclays have handled this we have a better case.especially as i mentioned the accounts were being investigated,they must have the account holders details to pass to the police,also if the accounts were opened with false ids this is the banks problem for allowing this to happen

  • also it would seem barclays banks are prone to these scm websites,tickets,electricals,flights etc but have issued no warnings and appear to make it very easy for organized crime to be operated through their banks.also on the barclays site there is info on them actually repaying bacs and chaps payments!plese keep me posted and im sorry for your loss

  • Thanks for the advice, I had written this off but you have made me rethink, at least I should have a go at pursuing this. I am in the UK so will take a visit to my local police station .... Do you think it woUld be helpful to reference your crime number or does it not matter. This is the first time I have fallen for a scam and I'm pretty annoyed with myself for being so stupid.

  • yes you have to take this further,if you do some google research it appears multiple fraud accounts are being set up in the same branches,also i have contacted bbc watchdog,and national papers as i believe with the launch of the new barclays ping it bank transfer service just how safe are their customers?you have to go to the police,it staes on the barclays website about bac/chaps refunds due to fraud.also under fsa law why had barclays not frozen this account if it was under investigation before my payment was made on the 19th!also if say my names stacey and the crime was logged yesterday in bristol that should enough im just a bit worried about what i post after the lesson ive learned in the past 48hrs

  • Heard nothing from the police following my online report, and have been advised that it is a waste of time as the bank account would have been closed by now and they will be long gone.
