Dont know anything about this store nor Vorza, But to ask the mods to remove post is way premature - maybe this guy is legite, maybe he works all day and can only post at night - at least give people a chance to respond.

I have been shopping at RC Hobbies virtually every week for the past 3 years and almost always use my credit card, if you were going to scam someone it would be a customer like myself not a one off who purchased 2 years ago.
However, I wouldn't put it past them to make an honest mistake, on busy days it can be a mad house in there. Disorganised maybe, dishonest to the level of fraud very unlikely.
Oh and putting up a single post to defame a business in a public forum: very stupid, especially when they will know who you are. I know if I were the owner, I would have my lawyers on your arse in seconds.

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.

Vorza,
Your account details are kept in the system as from the date you opened an Account. I have intimate knowledge of this system and I think it would have been more suitable if you also posted their response as to give the public an opportunity to make their own decision.
Are you sure a buddy of yours hasnt used your computer or has knowledge of your credit card details. It would seem that if you were less cynical they store would have taken the time to investigate the orders database and confirm the shipping details regarding the processing of the credit card and sale
In addition, all online store are subject to full liability when it comes to fraud, as per the banks and credit card institutions, so any legal claim you have with fraud would lead to a credit to you and a loss both for the stores inventory and the return of credit
So it astounds me that you think you are the one taking the risk shopping when in fact the odds are all stacked against the store.

If the payments on a Credit Card get a charge back if this is true..
But I have nothing but praise for the guys at RC Hobbies... I think this is b/s..
Oh no hang on they did rip me off.. I purchased a car 5 years ago and they said it would last me forever.. WTF.. I better start another thread flaming them too..

Certainly I knew it was foolish to post.
My motivation for it was to help others, not strictly to defame the store.
Charge was made at 4pm on a sunday.
I was told that the card was used in the store.
I know it sounds convenient but the card has only ever been used in one location other than there and that was in person.
I felt sure that it was intentional, this was the only unauthorised transaction. Why wouldn't a random fraudster empty my account and why did they choose this certain place to commit the crime.
Mistake or not it happened.
I do realise that the store looses when frauds are committed, but that is if they are detected and a charge back is issued.
A moderator should delete this because it is enabling me to commit a crime against RCHobbies.
So many positive experiences and only one negative is a good record but what if the one was you.

I've also used rchobbies in Petersham for nearly ten years and don't have a significant complaint to make about them (knock on wood).
