I have contacted both of these to shut down, but they’ll probably be back with something new next time. Though I was safe being a .com.au address, was I wrong!
If you see them again, right click on the web page and select “view page source”, you can see in there what software they are using. Sucker me I should have known better when the only way to pay was by online bank transfer…
I too was wripped off. They are back up and running after a few days down. Please, everyone put a complaint in with Consumer Affairs. If we band together and all complain, they will investigate. I believe that if you pay with your credit card, you will get your money back. I took the option to pay into a bank account for a small discount, so I have lost my money.
This is becoming an epidemic!! I recently had my purse stolen. As well as spending $550 in cash, going on a paywave extravaganza, they also stole my identity and applied for credit cards. My credit rating has plummeted. You know what though, no one gives a damn. Not Federal Police or the Financial Institutions. What is this world coming to???

We’ve done the same thing, but payed by credit card. The BBQ never arrived and we have since had large sums of money siphoned from our credit card account. Garden Outdoor Sales is not a real company, it is a scam.
Same thing with me.
The only difference no option to pay by credit card.
Payment by direct bank transfer to Muhammad Chowdhury Barbecue
