Of course, never pay with Western Union or MoneyGram. Business is not done that way - always a scam.

Apple products are not being sold at a big discount in some strange place and you won't find that strange place by searching the internet.

Not only is this site fake, false, a scam, but any similar site you can find selling brand names at big discount, is also a fake, fraud, and scam.

Don't do it.

The guy who owns that website is a criminal.

Unfortunately, if you have already sent them money, it is unlikely you will be able to get it back.

If you transferred money from your bank account, contact your bank and explain that you have now discovered that this is fraud, and see if it is possible to reverse the transaction. Unfortunately, scammers like this know that if the bank discovers they are committing fraud they can freeze their account and stop them from withdrawing the money. They often withdraw the money right away in order to prevent the bank from taking it back.

If you sent money via WU or moneygram, you can report it, but if it has been picked up already, there is nothing that can be done.

And the court of law?

In theory, a lawsuit could potentially get your money back. If you knew the people involved and where they were located, that would probably be the way to go.

Sadly, in a situation like this, it is nowhere near that simple.
The company name is fake. The names of the people you were given will be fake as well. As Mike noted, the individuals who responded to his email were in Malaysia, not UK.

These schemes are often very complicated, involving individuals in multiple countries, using several fake identities. As I said, the money was likely withdrawn immediately from the bank account, or transferred to another account. The person collecting the money may very well have been hiding behind fake names and ID.

In order to take it to court, you have to have sufficient evidence against an individual or a company to prove that they stole your money, and you would have to work within the laws of the countries where they are located.

You could end up spending a lot of money to investigate and still not have sufficient evidence.
Even if you get the evidence, by the time you add the costs of the investigation, attorneys, and court-system related costs, you could easily end up spending more money than you lost.

I am not telling you not to investigate that option, just making sure you understand that there are many related challenges.
