Hi joandumalus,

I'm very sorry you have been scammed, but there is no way to get your money back. Money sent with Western Union can be picked up immediately, and in many countries scammers find a way to do so with a fake identity. There is nothing your police can do about it, they have no jurisdiction in the scammer's country.

You mentioned two websites: Were you scammed by both, or is one of them a typo?

I'm sorry to say joandumalus, the money you sent through WU has been lost and is gone forever. I won't go into specific details but the mentioned website has many errors and does not look real.
This being the only record for the company I can see:

Thank-you for posting the story joandumalus because it will alert others to stay clear of these fraudulant people. Education, alertng and exposing fraud is a big step in the right direction.

I removed your second post, simply because it will keep all replies in one topic.

I'm sorry you were scammed. I can confirm that this is a fake electronics site, and it is still active. There are several indicators, but the dates are a good example:

Updated Date: 14-jan-2011
Creation Date: 14-jan-2011
Expiration Date: 14-jan-2012


Yet the site states: © 2005-2011 http://www.tohebuy.com

And, once again, it didn't take long to find a bunch of the scammers' additional scam sites, all registered in 2011, also for one year only.
http://www.uterou.com
http://www.eleships.com
woykee.com
ijsds.com
xinshops.com
cheap-tv-deals.com
http://www.02park.com
(Hint: look at the "about us" section on each of these sites)

One of our site killers will take a look and see what they can do.. They may need those emails you have saved for evidence, so please make sure you hang onto them.

ME too!… I was scammed by these guys. I ordered a portable hard drive and after I sent my payment, I waited and no product was sent. I asked for a UPS tracking number and was told that my package was lost and they would resend it. after waiting again, I was told that they no longer carried portable hard drives. They offered to step me up to a more expensive product, but I declined and asked for a refund. Of course, this has not happened after numerous attempts at communicating with the company. Tohebuy.com is a total scam!.. do not use them.

Unfortunately, it looks like I’ve been scammed, too. Purported to be the Apple factory in China with prices at less than 50% of U.S. retail, I ordered a 27? I-Mac desktop for a total of $905. They sent me a bogus UPS number and said my computer was “selected” by the customs office and I would be required to pay an additional $510 to get it out of customs and shipped.
I asked for immediate shipment or a refund, neither of which seems to be forthcoming. Although I have informed the Ministry of Foreign Trade in China, the U.S. Embassy and a friend who speaks Mandarin and will intercede for me, I don’t expect any positive results.
They keep answering my e-mails @ their [email protected] address but only to ask for more money.
My next step will be to contact my U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer to see if I can get something done abut this though I don’t ever expect to see my $$$$ again.

how can we stop them from having a lot of victims they are still operating until now and a lot of people are ordering items from them and it is not arriving…. we should do something to stop them…Please guys we should do something about this you can contact me in my email address if you are also a victim..

hii everyone i would like u guys to help knw if this is a scam or not.. i was looking 4 an iphone 4 to buy and i checked facebook marketplace app and there was this girl called Braska Esther [email protected] who is selling iphone 4 for reaaly cheap price like i could get a brand new one for only 400$ and if i buy 2 i get 1 free.. so i contacted her and that what she replayed :

Thanks for getting back to me with your full name and shipping address, we would proceed with the packaging and labeling, so you are therefore advise to get a western union outlet close to you and make the transfer to the information's below

NAME:BRASKA ESTHER

ADDRESS::REGENT HOUSE, CLINTON AVENUE, NOTTINGHAM, NG5 1AZ

UNITED KINGDOM

Once payment is made, send me a scan cop of the receipt from western union for records or get back to me with the mtcn# given to you by western union with the senders name inclusive so it can be confirmed. immediately its confirmed shipment commence to your delivery and you receive it at your doorstep in 2days via FedEx and you sign that you received the iPhone.

How soon are you making the payment so as to get your iPhone ready for shipment asap.

Regards.
Braska,

then i asked her if i can pay through visa card ?

and her answer was :

I will advise you to go to any western union agent location or outlet close to you and make the transfer so it would be more easy for you. we dont accept credit cards at the moments.so how soon can you get that done?

then i asked ok how about paypal? .. and i kind of break it to her that i went through this before and it ended up being a scam so i don't want to get scammed again.
and that was her answer:

Am sorry i dont do paypal and moreso if you are ready and serious about it then give Brasett Ltd a trial and be happy you did.now due to your past experience what i can do for you is for you to make some advance payment of 50% and after receiving the tracking details you can now make the balance payment via western union money transfer,we are a registered wholesale distributors of all mobile phones with a license certificate and registeration number under the UK underlisted legitimate sellers by the UK Government and we cannot ruine the name of the company just because of 400$ and also loose so many customers that might come through you after the delivery so right now let me know if are ready to make the 50% advance payment of 200$ via western union so i can commence shipment as soon as its confirmed and get back to you with the tracking details. thanks and looking forward to hear from you.
Regards.

soo is this a scam or should i go ahead and purchase ??

It's a scam.

I can also tell from the English that this person is African, not English.

And I would agree. It sounds highly sus anyloia. The reason the scammer insists on western union is because the transference happens rather quickly for them. Once the funds have been collected, wu are unlikely to help you if something goes pear-shaped. The reason many of them do not adhere to bank accounts etcetera is all the identification required and bank records would arouse too much suspicion upon the scammer.
If I may be as bold to strongly suggest you purchase items from a proper store as people do when they go shopping in a normal fashion.
I'm not suggesting all online shopping is fraudulant.....but please watch your step.

thank you guys .. and this what they sent me today and i checked their website but still can't risk it.. and as jolly_roger said we should buy items especially electronics from a proper stores..

Hello Nana
How are you doig? do you have anybody in the UK you can send the funds to directly and give me the mtcn# alone to confirm online to you made the payment as a proof? once i confirm that i would ship and get back to you with the tracking details from fedex and once you receive the iphone and check it that it came in good perfect working condition in its original box with complete accessories you go back to western union to change the name and address directly to my name so i can get it picked from western union outlet here. i think this is more safer for me and you . you can also take a look at our website for more informations about our company.

Awaits your prompt response.
Regards.

just for those out there to be careful..
thanks again ..

Mod note: This post was made by a scammer trying to convince others his site isn't a scam. Please read Con's post below.

THIS IS A BIG LIE, BRASETT LIMITED WITH THE WEBSITE......WWW.BRASETTLIMITED.COM HELPED ME IN MY BUSINESS AND I AM HAPPY I DEALTH WITH THEM. IF YOU DEAL WITH THEM YOU WILL KNOW THEY ARE NOT SCAMMERS. THEY SAVED ME FROM BEING SCAMMED THE SECOND TIME BY SOME FAKE MOBILE STORES. I WAS SCAMMED OF 5000$ BUT WHEN I MET THEM ON FACEBOOK THEY GAVE ME A FULL PROOF AND I PUT IN 2000$ TO THE GAME AND IT WAS A SUCCESSFUL GAME GOT MY ORDERS AND STILL GONNA BUY MORE FROM THEM.

The post above is made by a scammer.

The company Brasett Ltd. does not exist as a registered limited company.
The website brasettlimited.com is a fake site and was only set up on the 12th July this year yet they claim to have been trading for five years.
They use a redirect "070" number which could be anywhere in the world.
There are other pointers that are best not listed here.

If you order and try to pay using the PayPal link, you will find that it can't be processed.

We cannot process this transaction because there is a problem with the PayPal email address supplied by the seller.
