    Website looks good but I'm afraid it's a fake, you might get something but will be fake and probably stopped by customs, also domain is register in china, no contact address or number, also most website that have the country in the domain are fake (there could be some exceptions).

    Contact bank for a charge back.

    fristpay or firstpay?

    It's a complete scam by the way. Don't know how you could fall for it with a domain name like that!

    Just Looked at the site. It not being a .ie is a bad sign. Any self respecting irish business has a .ie and it's much harder to fraudulently have a .ie

    I wouldn't only worry about your goods I'd worry about your payment details.


    Always look for the basics to help be sure.
    Postal address
    Registered business number (no reason not to be shown if am irish trader)
    Phone number even a mobile
    Check social sites to check feedback
    How is payment handled stripe, paypal etc, I prefer these 3rd party payment gateways than trust the site with my details.

    hi, thanks for replies, 1st time i ever fell for it, but the site looks legit, it was when i payed for the item and looked at my email and bank statement it was "chengzu jewellery", knew straight away then, got onto the bank anyway cancelled the card :/, my file is sent to the fraud team in Bank of Ireland, 2-3 weeks to hear anything back, doubt ill get anything back, lucky it wasn't a big fee i spent.

    Unfortunately not always evident either. A lot of ACME.ie websites being redirected to ie.ACME.co.wherever and misleading people into thinking they are buying from Irish business when in reality shipping from Spain / China / wherever.

    A site for a major retailer with "ireland" in its domain name is fake pretty much without exceptions.
    A site for a major retailer with a year in its domain name is fake, end of story.

    Anything more than a ~20% discount on current stock with a decent range of sizes (e.g. not clearance tat) is pretty much fake without exceptions too.

    I'm also pretty certain that despite the shared owner, Hollister and A&F are never co-sold with eachother.

    Was this the site...
    http://www.hollisterireland2015.biz/

    If it was I would cancel your debit card as the payment page is not secure and your details could be compromised.

    What do you wonder? Yes I didn't go in depth into the page to see if it was fake, Iv never had this before so I didn't know it,1st time looking to buy Hollister online, majority of the time I always buy online from other sources and just fell for this, so be it, it's done now! I cancelled my card soon as I seen the origin of where the money was actually sent to.

    The scam site seems to be very high up on the search page on Google..

    https://www.google.ie/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=hollister

    3rd result.
