SUCCESS of a woman scorned! Actually got my money back from this IFraud site!
Like all other customers I purchased an IPOD Nano for £59 from this site in december 2010 thinking it was a genuine apple site! The order was processed 4 times! Realising then it was a scam I cancelled bank card and any transactions - unfortunatley by the time I had gone to bank the next day one transaction has gone through for £61. Bank told me I would have to wait 30 days to see if product came! NOT SATISFACTORY!
I ignored advice from local bank and called the fraud department of the bank - explained how the contract of sale was breached as they took more money than agreed, that the site was a fake and was taken down due to abuse. Fraud department said they would TRY to get money back.NOT SATISFACTORY!
I took matters into my own hand and done some research online (http://whois.domaintools.com/) and found the domain registration details of the person that set the site up (obviously most of the details are fake but not the personal e-mail address!) Its public information so here you go...

I had the luck of paying through PayEase, so e-mailed both administrator of PayEase (*******@payeasenet.com) and *******@gmail.com (owner). Explaining that I wanted to cancel order due to the company taking more money than agreed and selling fake goods and alot less flattering comments! Company/owner e-mailed back within a few hrs saying "Dont be worry, we only will ship 1".! I e-mailed back again saying to CANCEL order and REFUND money. After a few days and several e-mails to PayEase and the owner, PayEase emailed to say that the merchant issued a full refund to be paid within 2 weeks (only been one week since this so im still waiting).
I'll let you know if the money appears - hopefully it will as its PayEase that have demanded it.
I hope this helps... its a disgrace that blatant fraud can occur in this way!
Good Luck
