    So I was about to ask about this website when I noticed the order detail emails in my inbox from this email address: service.katrina@oumal.com and noticed lots of scam reports for it online. The email address seems to be used from many different websites, mostly co.uk, and all with the same basic format selling designer clothes and accessories. So I thought I'll post it here for others' information.

    The site does not have secure connection (no SSL, but an "RSS" logo at the bottom which is quite misleading) but I still went ahead with the payment. Tried it with two different cards and got the error: "Error Sorry, Payment Failure, The reason is: 1500Do not honour Please pay again !"

    The error indicates that the bank has declined the transaction, but I'm not sure if I should cancel the cards... :(:confused:

    Check your bank account online? Ring the credit card hotline and ask if there has been transactions from them?

    The error is unlikely to be real. Cancel the cards if you have entered them on a non ssl site

    Rss is for newsfeeds, nothing to do with ssl.

    I know that well and that's why I mentioned it. They stick it there next to their payment pethods to mislead those who don't know the difference.

    The site is a scam and I cancelled both my cards that same night.

    Never ever ever ever enter card details on an unsecure site no matter what "bargain" you think they are giving.
