    Guys, was looking to buy a particular Hugo Boss bag as a Christmas present, went on to their official site and it was no longer available (it was only a few days ago). Googled it and found it on a site hugobossmall.eu...
    Look tbh, I thought the price was a little too good to be true ($209 compared to £305 and no shipping charges!), but went ahead anyway...!
    I received a confirmation email this evening and it has the seller site as fashionpay.com. I googled this and from the few reviews I've read they hit your account straight away but it's a false flipping site!!
    I don't know what to do. Yep, what an idiot am I????
    Advice needed, please??!!:(

    Did you use your credit card? - get onto your bank straight away and get them to cancel all transactions and block the card.

    Yep, well I used my debit card. What a fool!! That will teach me for buying stuff in a panic!

    Is it a Visa debit? You'd still have some Visa protection with a debit card.

    Hi Tayla, Yes it was a Visa Debit. I've rang the bank and have had my card cancelled. Apparently must call the fraud division tomorrow. I'm such an idiot for falling for it though! So annoyed with myself!

    Hi Tayla

    I rang the Anytime Banking team. They were very helpful but said it wasn't for Fraud as I could recognise what the transaction was on my account. I have to wait for fifteen days before I can get the money returned to me in case the item purchased does turn up...
