What should i do? Should i pay ? What are my options?
I wanted to buy a cell phone, so i found this company Eecmobilephones they said to send me the phone i ordered after i make a payment through western union, when i made the payment they said the their policy changed and now they only could ship to items so i must buy another phone, when i pay for another phone they will send me 2 phones together.
What should i do, is this some kind of burglars? Should i pay them or just forgot about my money i lost, or any other help would be very appreciated.
Additional Details
Thank you very much for your help, you'r absolutely right. I told them i dont need the second phone they said no refunds and there's nothing i can do because they only ship 2 items according to their new policy. So how can I report and where should i go to punish them so they won't full other people. They are situated in London, is there some kind of international police i can report to?
How can i prosecute them? I have their address and e-mails only and names.

Are you sure you spelled that name right? I can't find any information on them but it sounds to me like you got scammed.

Any time a company wants a Western Union payment, check them out thoroughly before you send it. Western Union is one of the favorite methods of scammers to get your money.

There are a lot of pre-paid cell phones out there that you can buy locally. I've seen them in 7 - 11, OfficeMax, any number of places. I'm afraid you've lost your money. Ask them for a refund since they changed the plan after you sent your money in. You probably won't get it but it's worth a shot.

Why would you need two cell phones anyway?

Sounds like a scam to me. How did you hear about this company? Do you know anyone else that has used them?
Contact the Better Business Bureau and they will hash it out for you. If they have enough complaints the company has to shut down.


Good Luck!

If you paid for it by Western Union, you've been scammed. You won't get your money back. But for FSM's sake don't send them any more money.


dadknows
You have ripped off, do not send them more money, as for getting it back, your out of luck.. no such policy can exist and they are trying to see if you will go another round. Did I mention, do not send any more money..

NEVER pay ANYONE with Western Union. Scams use this payment processor because you can't get your money back.
By all means, do NOT send them any more money!

As you can see, they are in Great Britain, so suing them for your money back may not work. I'd try to get a refund anyway and let them know you don't WANT 2 phones, just the one you ordered. Either send the ONE phone, the money back or forget about the deal.
See if you can take legal action against them.
Good Luck.
Stay with regular phone providers in future.

Sorry, you got scammed. Don't ever, ever, ever send money Western Union to someone you don't know. Unfortunately, you don't have any way of getting your money back, you just learned an expensive lesson.

They're conning you. A real phone company gives product first, then gets paid. Don't go with them, and don't send them any more money. Go with a reputable company.


RACHEL B
hi, if they are situated in London you can report them to Trading Standards here i UK. we have a website you can try its www.consumerdirect.gov.uk. or phone 08454 04 05 06 not sure what codes you'd have put in front of that though. good luck

I think scam artists are rotten,unfair takin g advantage of peoples hard earned money. i wish the person behind scamming gets a dose of his own medicine. have you tried a prepaid account with a cell phone company or what about cingular ,sprint, verizon,t-mobile sometimes you can get a free phone with a 2-year contract


lorraine
Scam Alert, never ever pay by western union

Are there any legally binding documents that back your purchase? Is there a cointract? Do you have a receipt?
I checked this company at a glance just now in some classifieds and it does look like a scam. DO NOT send them any more money. Explain that you wanted to buy just one cell phone, if they can´t ship it, ask for your money back. If they don´t refund your money, then try getting it through a law suit iof possible. If nothing else works, just take it as a lesson.

I hope everything works out for the best with you.


krak
If they won't send you one phone that you paid for, they sure as **** ain't going to send you two. Report them to your trading standards or equiv. and put it down to experience.

Sounds like a scam to me. If it's not a scam they are just trying to sell you more products and I would try to get my money back if I were you. If they have a customer service number call that.


KC
Can you now get your money back? That sounds like a scam or something.....where is the company located...over seas? I know I would not be giving them any more money. I would actually call and talk to the supervisor about the policy and what happened. Peace!


rhsaunders
This is a scam. Demand a refund; if you don't get it, file a complaint with the state Attorney General. Go get your phone through one of the big carriers; if you sign up for a long enough contract (typically 2 years), they will give you a phone for free.


Jackie M
apparently you already paid for the phone, but does it work? if not try to get it turned on by another phone service, it is possible and don't do this again

Doesn't sound right. I just did a yahoo search and this shows up with a hotmail address - mainly for dating ads. I'd say you've probably been taken. Do not send anymore money to these people.


I thought so!

Sounds like a scam to me. Just go to cingular and buy a phone like everyone else. No one should ask you to pay twice. Most scams involve Western Union because they are incredibly hard to track down. Don't be fooled. If you request a refund and they refuse you, file a police report.


Alicia
If you pay for 2, they could change their policy to 3. Is there a place where you can report them?


Bailey
this is a scam----contact the police and have them work to get your money back----also file a complaint with the better business bureau on this company----try putting a stop payment on the money if you can (if it was a check)----never ever send money via western union unless it is to a family member or true friend

Do not buy another phone, they will make you buy more and more. They're just jacking you around. Tell them you changed your mind because you were counting on the terms in place when you paid, and you want your money back since you didn't get the phone. If they refuse, there are legal ways to fight back.

Also, always use a credit card when buying anything online (paypal is great), as you can file a claim with the credit card company if something lik this happened. I'm glad I used a credit card when I did business with a crappy little company called stamps.com. The credit card company was VERY helpful.


Sexy Mama
This was most likley fraud DO NOT send them more money if you foun them on line you can report them to the FBI at http://www.fbi.gov/majcases/fraud/internetschemes.htm#intfraud. hope this helps sorry i am not more help if they find the people who rip you off you might get your money back. Good luck

EEC moble phones.. EEC usually means the phones are international European phones. I do believe you were ripped off.. once you set it up.. any policy changes would not apply to you. i would NOT send them anymore money.

would you mind giving me the website... if i can look at the website.. i can tell you if it is a scam.
you can either add it as a detail to your question..
or email it to me ahahn90@yahoo.com


Satya
First .
Is Your money is For Free ? Then Please sign me up and send me the money. ..no need for some sites to do that.
Second
What was the mode of Payment ?
VISA Electron, Master card and all BANKS etc all have strict business rules which emphasize on Customer Value and satisfaction.There are international Consumer forums which deal with such malpractises seriously.
Third
How much of proof do you have with you regarding the Transactions and how much time are you willing to spend.

Based on these take your actions.
There is no need for you to panic and back off.But also you need to be careful.
