Angry RCHobbies are theiving

If you have ever dealt with this store and used a card to pay for it I urge you to check your bank statements it took me a week to notice that money was missing.

Almost two years ago I bought from the business and just recently found that these pricks had grafted me midway through march this year.

What they did was keep my details then later use them to charge me for something I never asked for, not an insignificant ammount of money either.

When I rang them to ask how this could have happened I was lied to by the manager. the story he came up with was b grade bullshit.

please take care not to get stung by RCHobbies or at least if they try it on don't let them get away with it.

I've purchased stuff from them by card before and never had a problem.

Vorza have you reported this to your bank? Probably more productive than coming on here trying to dis a store that 98% of rc people in the Greater Sydney area have bought from and probably all of them without being scammed.

If someone has had trouble with them like this before, they haven't come on here about it, or the 5 or 6 other Australian RC forums I'm on.

Are you sure a friend of yours didn't borrow your card?
