I fell for this catch of the day scam. The site kept crashing when I
tried to click to buy and then after some I managed to get through to
confirm payment using my paypal account page after being led to
believe I was purchasing some logitech speakers for $5 + 6.95 postage.
The payment was taken immediately and after checking my catch of the
day account I discovered that there were no items ordered. I
complained and they replied saying it charges were a result of site
overload and that they would refund immediately (obviously they had no
speakers for me). It has been 3 days now and still have not recieved
my refund and have received no reply to my follow up email this
morning. The email that I received when I first complained seemed very
generic and makes me wonder how many other peoples money they are
holding due to site overload. All seems very fishy to me.
