I was scammed by Thecamerabox.co.uk. I fell for their special 1-week offer for a Mini 2, I got FedEx tracking info. FedEx emailed to say the item had been delivered. It had not. They advised me the delivery address was not mine. I contacted thecamerabox.co.uk on 10/02/2023 they said they would investigate but in the meantime send me another. I did not receive anything. I tried to contact them again but the website has gone.
I have noticed another website appeared today called "Space city drones.co.uk" their website looks identical to Thecamerabox.co.uk. They have the same offer for a Mini2 and have a link to Trustpilot reviews which have been stolen from an American company "Space city drones.com" this is the same con thecamerabox.co.uk used when they stole reviews from thecamerabox.com in America.

Stick to DJI or Argos if you want to get a new drone.

A cautionary tale for anyone considering making a purchase. Always buy direct from DJI, or an approved agent (such as Heliguy in the UK) if you want peace of mind.

Thanks for the warning

Unfortunately I jumped into this trap too. I ordered 2 days ago.
I must admit everything was, and looked so legitimate and I thought it is a flash sale...
So far I've got a confirmation of my  order, a invoice, and awaiting for the trucking number to arrive.

I hope I'm wrong mate and you get it but everything about the site looks the same.

Hi, Gold4Racing. We're sorry to read about your unpleasant experience. Moving forward, before making your purchase, please search the seller’s name on this link: (https://www.dji.com/where-to-buy/online-retails) to ensure that they are an authorized DJI dealer. Hope this helps. Thank you for your support.

Sorry to say I’m in the same position as you. Everything looked legitimate with the website, and TrustPilot reviews. Done a bit more digging, and Spacecitydrones are part of DRONESCEND, which is owned by Simeon Onaola. It’s all been passed on to the police
