One look at the front page should have told you that's a fake web site (wrong layout, everything at a discount, item names are odd, long shipping time, accepts Western Union payments, no contact phone number etc.)...

In case your not convinced yet the payment page should confirm.

Apparently they accept MasterCard, that is until you go to the payment help page where it states only Visa, Western Union and bank transfer are accepted.

No landline or mailing address, no company name (just a load of generic nonsense) in the terms and conditions.

Even if the website was designed by an illiterate moron, the terms and conditions should make some sense and mention the company name and the fact that the contract between you and the vendor will be based on the laws of a specific country (usually theirs), none of which is contained in the Ts & Cs on that website.

Stay well away.

Too late for the OP I'm afraid.

It's an old URL, formerly owned by a motor dealer (Kent TDI Centre) in Gravesend .....

OP, how did you pay for your order? If by Visa then you will probably be able to do a chargeback, if you paid by Western Union then you will have no comeback, that's very much a one-way flow of money.

The order page where you put your credit/debit card details in is not secure, contact your bank and cancel your card.

OP if you paid by credit card, I would recommend you cancel it. The website isn't secure - valid websites redirect to a secure payment vendor using SSL, or at the very least use SSL itself. So there is a good chance credit card details are being skimmed.
