I got stung! Hope readers of this don't.

I visited the www.dgwtcm.com site (Beijing, China) and selected my merchandise - a laptop - paid using Western Union and have heard nothing since. They refuse to communicate either by phone or email. I've lost AUD$425.00!

I have contacted the Chinese embassy in Brisbane, Australia seeking their assistance. Unfortunately, though not surprising, I have likewise heard nothing from them either.

My Western Union payment was collected on 7th May 2007.

Hope other read this and steer well clear of this scam.

If anyone has any ideas about how I can pursue this, would be very much obliged.
