Anyone Used This Website???
Barksavon - 6/5/20 at 06:14 PM

Has anyone any experience of a website Ygklgtc.com?
The site appears to be an online retailer of virtually anything you can think of.

I came across this site after being contacted via social media by a lady enquiring whether I can make and supply "Chitty Irons" (used for outdoor cooking) as her previous supplier had retired.

I make wrought iron products and advertise on the social media site.

After a bit of research I found an old eBay listing for chitty irons (£65 per set) which had been ended by the seller. I also found that Ygklgtc.com were listing them for sale (£17.50 per set). Here's the 'rub' the photos on the eBay listing are the same images as those in the websites listing and there's the difference in price....I don't think I could make them for £17.50.

I've tried to research Ygklgtc.com with limited success. Appears it is a very new site and is based in the U.S.
I can't find any contact details or address for this company.

Must say I'm a bit suspicious about this website, I've not got back on the initial enquiry as yet.

Any info or views welcome

Thanks

Complete rip off site. Fishing tackle that is made in the UK and costs £1k+ is listed for '£82.87'!

You can spend way more than that if you like to part with your money

I do agree that there are things about the website that seem a little odd, no address & a suggestion you can pay by bank transfer amongst some slightly odd English. I would be more inclined to suspect it's a Chinese company pretending to sell goods from elsewhere.

It looks like a huge amount of effort to go to in terms of creating the site & all that content if it's all going to fold in a few weeks when people start posting online that they've not received stuff.

Also if it's a scam I would expect to be able to find something to that effect online - it may of course simply be that it is so new no ones got ripped off yet, but as you can pay with a credit card, the card company should be liable even if the co. folds

Why not try ordering something cheap & see if it turns up?

Don't think I'm that keen on providing bank or credit card details to an unknown online entity..... Appears too dodgy!!!
