I bought 2 vielle coast dress from this convincing Coast sale website for a total of £173.41. As the transaction did not go through the usual security checks, I looked into it a bit further and saw that the billing company, sslbillpay.com, was subject to a very high number of scam complaints, dating back to February. This made me feel very uncomfortable with my purchases so I contacted my bank and they advised me to cancel my card so that no further payments can be authorised from it. You see, slbillpay.com tell you that it will take up to 24 hours for payments to process so fortunately for me I had realised in plenty of time. I have no evidence that this company is operating illegally or is a scam, however alarm bells increasingly go off when standard payment methods aren't followed and the company is associated with so many scam complaints. I do feel awful that people get tricked by similar scams and I'm alarmed that such companies can continue to operate.
