| Comment / Review | I saw on Facebook a photo of a boots mystery box was being set out for £3... I thought it was too good to be true... I looked at all profiles of whom commented on the post and all seemed legit.. There were photos of said products in a box.. I paid the £3..,and I saw one for lego same website etc etc I was taken to a site called.. Secret gardens.. Which is in Cyprus.They took the £3.. Then took another £1 . After I got on lego post.. I noticed one person was actually on the boots post.. I quickly contacted them and said this isn't what I paid for this is a scam obviously. They reassured me it wasn't.. They closed my account but since Iv noticed £37 and £1 have come out of my bank from a budgetmatio.com.. This isn't anything I signed up for

As these "strike-off" would take a warning period of abt. 3 months they must have stopped some 4 months ago. It might be that the CEO (Paul Anthony Storey-Smith age 45), took an early retirement on Cyprus who knows. You can safely assume the mentioned phonenumber (+443308186626) will be disconnected by now.
