WI FI SCAM

I think I got a link to this, from UHH pages. "A WiFi booster offered at greatly reduced cost". The supplier purports to be 'Nutrition Optimale' (?) Not an electronic sounding title? I've tried to contact them after ordering item, as on the invoice they have my address as 'New Zealand' and not UK !!What a 'Cop-out' to excuse non-delivery of the goods. Unable to reply to their Email/Website address.. Just beware folks.
If you want this thread removing as not 100% Photographic, why did you open and read it then. It got your attention. Surely you would not prevent others being aware of the SCAM.

You "think" you got the link from UHH? As far as posting in the main photography section....better to post in Chit-Chat.

Checking back, I did get the link from the UHH pages.
Will post original into the Chit-Chat section also. (I expected an auto movement into Chi-Chat by someone in authority, if it was necessary.

Too late I have used your first suggestion, and entered it into Chit Chat section. There were plenty of views in the Photography section, but you were the only 'Viewer' to take any action, on reading. Cannot see passive viewers taking the trouble to follow a link to another section.

Item was shown,(Picture of gadget) 'testimonials' listed, stating how good the item was, and how easy to use. Item still not arrived yet, have Emailed (before the email address became inaccessible) the 'Supplier', my correct address to send to. There was another gadget claiming the same use in todays UHH . from another source address in the USA. The first 'supplier' address was Geneva.

The ad came up again today. This is the USA based site, not the Geneva based one I replied to. The details/blurb was the same. This USA base ad might be genuine.Took a few screen shots...
