BrazilianBombshell, this is probably a very silly question, but I notice to get the discount you have to add the code they give you when you check out. You did remember to do that didn't you?

Yes I did remember and the code was Blackfriday.  Having paid the full amount I cannot access the paid for records, hence the reason for the Visa dispute. 
I received an email from James at 13.31 today.  Something is certainly not right.

I don't believe it was a phishing attempt, SB. I have not received a reply from any of my messages.  The email I received today has the code for the "special offer" which  ends today is Nov2016, LizzieL.

 I have just signed up with them, paid by credit card.  Seem very dodgy to me as they do not bother to reply to any messages I have sent on the website, twitter and facebooks, so I contacted Jersey Police who said they had no way of telling whether an email address or an address given for a business is currently active or exists, so guess they had no interest in checking it out and they said to contact the ActionFraud.co.uk, which I did, but because I can access the service they are not interested, however if people are not getting the service after paying and/or cannot get their money back and unable to contact them, then Action fraud line would be interested as that would be an act of fraud, so if you are in that situation this is what you need do.  Contact 'ActionFraud.co.uk',  if you call them they will tell you what you need do.  Hope it helps those who have lost money, though I doubt if you would get it back but it could close the business down.
