I recently bought an item from an online retailer called Apple ZA. The site seems legit and even has a Thawte trust signature. I paid via credit card and received a confirmation email for my order.
After a week, I mailed them and asked what the status of the order was. I got a reply back saying that the imported goods take longer to arrive in the country. This seemed way too suspicious, so I tried contacting the retailer through another means, but of course there's no other contact method to be found anywhere.
FFS.
This is the whois for the domain. The mail address used to register it is [email protected], and the name of the registrar is Israfil Yilmaz aka the guy who joined ISIS
I've since contacted FNB to reverse my payment to the retailer; they should be in touch later today. In the meantime, is there anything else I can do to track down my cash? Surely I should be able to find out what banking details were used for the site?
Or, considering the guy obviously has a working iCloud account, could that be of use somehow? And would Apple not want to shut this site down immediately to prevent further fraud?
And help would be greatly appreciated.
