Chris O. This is a nasty one, as fakers go. It looks almost exactly authentic and unless you were already suspicious, I can see how easily you would be fooled.

In fact it's a Chinese operation, with the site hosted in Sweden. It doesn't take long to find that out, but why would you even look? So don't feel too bad, sites like this are here to fool you and they do a good job.

A particularly frustrating aspect of this one is its Google listing. If you look for Hollister UK, Google delivers links to this phony site at the very top of its listing. This is *despite* a brand-new algorithm introduced by Google this week, which promised to do a great deal more to get low-quality sites out.

So really, this one couldn't be better placed. Even Google promotes it. Your review is welcome because hopefully many more readers will see it before they get caught.

Your bank, credit card company or other payment processor should insure you against this situation since not only did you receive no goods, but money was taken from your account from a site which is provably fraudulent. Get in touch with them as soon as you can and insist they take action and refund your money.

For future reference, you can buy goods at the authentic Hollister site in the USA and they have global shipping anyway.
