legit?

[Prof. Fett]

basically, went to this site www.sakis.co.uk to order some jeans. put it in my shopping basket of the virtual realm, and I do every single stage in the virtual checkout apart from the last one; credit card details. I was sidetracked by a phonecall and left it for a bit, then some blocked number rang me (one of the boxes was for a phone number on the order form) claiming he was from the company, saying I didn't complete my order. which I found to say the least, a bit dodgy.

any ideas on it's legitimacy? is there a way to find out if it's a registered company?

jah bless you all x

Haha, either dodgy or desperate!

some companies have done this with me and they didn't rip me off i think they are just trying to make a sale

To be honest if a companies doing that then it doesn't seem to me like they're trying to blag you... as usually there'd be a lack of any type of contact. However, that would piss me off a bit so I probably wouldn't order from them anyway.

I've had this before, sometimes when you don't run the order through it books out stock as being sold on the system - so while you're thinking about it someone else might come on the site to buy the same thing and it looks like it's out of stock.

They have a full address and landline number on the site, looks legit.

Legit. http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/a9941 ... ompdetails

When you submit the billing address part of the checkout, you're essentially creating an account and your details are saved, hence why you got the phone call.

They should have a privacy policy though, they're using software called Clicktale to record video of how you use the site (sensitive data like credit card or email isn't visible though) and there's no mention of it. [/e-commerce geekery]

You better be right greg, otherwise I'll hunt you down and break your legs

In all seriousness though, cheers for the info. Hope I wake up with money and identity still intact.

I've always thought it was me being paranoid/stupid that a website could be able to record your keystrokes when entering a form or something, especially when you decide to use fake details for a certain websites that mandate personal details which you'll probably only use once.

That's pretty fucked knowing they can do that now.

You would have had to click "next" or something in order for the details to be cached/stored, which it looks like you did by saying that you did every step except pay.
