My friend previously ordered a Nintendo Switch from this site (without notifying beforehand) https://hitech-shop.com
For me it was very serious that the Switch (Animal Crossing Edition) cost only 329 euro there, and then I found out on the Internet and found a page that called this page "Fakeshop". Is that true? Can my girlfriend get her money back? It has not yet reached the "fraudsters" account.
I told her to get some information before buying, because the switch is sold out everywhere and has become quite expensive, probably because of the corona virus. And then comes one that is so cheap?
Looks very much like a fake shop.
Apart from the incredibly low prices, the website has no real imprint. Important information such as the commercial register number is missing and the specified company does not exist at the specified address, let alone in the commercial register.
What payment method did your girlfriend use?
Many thanks for your response!
Yes, that's exactly what I've noticed. She paid by bank transfer where most fraudsters use, of course.
The shop also only offers "cash payment" (however that should work) and stop transfer.
Then she should contact the bank as soon as possible and cancel the transfer. There's no guarantee that this will work, but there will be no better chances.
Yes, I have already told her, unfortunately, her bank opens at 2 p.m.
Yes looks like Fakesho. There was an imprint but this is not completely not a business owner or a telephone number. You can only pay by advance payment, ie bank transfer. Not by invoice, last name Paypal etc. This is also not serious. It even looks like there's no business at this address. It is very difficult to get your money back by bank transfer, often using the so-called ghost accounts, which are closed as soon as some people have transferred. It doesn't matter whether it's a German account. If you prefer to buy from a well-known shop. If transfer is canceled quickly. Once it is transferred, it is next to impossible to get the money back. That's why fraudsters use it so often.
The exact same thing happened to me, I'm sooo annoyed. I bought the Nintendo Switch with Animal for 350 euro. I usually never make a transfer, but the offer was so tempting and the site actually looked like any other. Now my money is gone I've already called my bank at the police everywhere and filed a complaint but none of this will work. The money has gone to Poland, the woman said from my bank and it is probably a short-term account that closes when the money is received. I hope the police can do something, but don't give me hope.
Pay online with PayPal only!
It's a lesson to me. Such a…
Let's see if anything else comes 🙈
I also wanted to buy the Animal Crossing Switch there, because I shouldn't trust websites, I googled afterwards and then found out that it was fake. Before doing this, first check whether the page is real or fake.
Yes, exactly, I would always do it, but she had to order it directly… -.

Be glad you didn't pay. Nothing will happen to you because the shop is no longer available in the meantime.
I myself wanted to buy a PS4 Pro there, but also canceled when I had to pay in advance.
Unfortunately I had already given important data such as name, address, date of birth, email and telephone number.
Therefore, I have also filed a complaint, which I would also advise you. Because only then are you sure if your data is misused to buy goods on your account in your name.
I hope you also used a new password and none that you e.g. Used for other online purchases.
If you have actually used a password that you use elsewhere, you MUST change the other password as soon as possible.
