I would like to warn you agains doing any kind of business with Clare Elizabeth Francis aka Cynthia Francis or any of her two businesses http://www.zodiachouseoffashion.com/ and http://www.tophotphones.com/ operating through her compagny Electrical Storm Inc Limited. She also operates on Ebay under the name CLFranc.

One month I ordered 10 mobile phones from Clare, for a total price of 3490. I paid the phones promptly, and Clare promised to post the phones the following week.

Since I paid the phones, there has been nothing but broken promises. Clare has several times promised to send me the phones within a day or two, but I have never received the phones. I then requested to get my money back, and after some talk se agreed to pay my money back but havnt seen the money either. So right now

Clare will now be reported to the police for fraud, and I hope that there is some slight chance that I will get my money back. With this report I hope that I will prevent you from loosing money to this woman, who is not keeping her word.

I have physical evidence of all the claims in this report. Will be forwarded on request.

Still no refund

AUTHOR: Jan r. - (Denmark)

POSTED: Friday, June 27, 2008

I have still not received any refund.

I guess I could have expected this. Clare has promised me a refund times and times again, but I havent received a penny.

I strongly reccomend that you do not do business with this woman or any business that she is involved in. She simply cannot be thrusted.

Still no refund

AUTHOR: Jan r. - (Denmark)

POSTED: Thursday, May 08, 2008

Clare promised me that I would receive a full refund wednesday at the very latest. And guess what - i didnt receive any refund wednesday.

Thursday I contacted Clare to hear what was going on. She told me that she was on her way to a meeting, and that she would get back to me that same afternoon, but I didnt hear a word from her.

Now it is friday morning. I still havent received a refund, and I still havnt heard anything from Clare.

Doesnt seem that promising with that refund :(

DUE DILIGENCE AND PAYPAL CHARGEBACKS PREVENTED TRADING

AUTHOR: Clfranc - (United Kingdom)

POSTED: Monday, May 05, 2008

Hi Jan,

Firstly,we have already agreed the refund now rather than sending the phones and been in constant contact with paypal as you know to try and get your account verified so we can send to overseas buyers but this is just not safe for PAYPAL sellers.Unfortunately your transaction through ebay had an unverified address(we thought that passport,utility bill etc would suffice re verifying your address but it was not enough).

Secondly,last week,we had a chargeback from the danish buyer(WHO ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED ME TO YOURSELF) who we had already sent phones to-see proof-look at tracking number www.tnt.co.uk GD967630688WW-who then committed a big scam on us as you already know through PAYPAL which is now being investgated as he owes us over 1800.00 -police report number-87PQ240408.This has culminated in the final decision that we cannot RISK sending phones to you-through no fault of your own and we thankyou for your patience.This report escalated due to lack of communication as I have been awaiting information from PAYPAL.

This is a copy of your email yesterday also where you asked to have this report removed from this site.


"Clare,I contacted them and asked them kindly to have it deleted. If nothing else, I can always update the report with the ending of this story.Jan"

We apologise that we are unable to trade with our European partners through Ebay and Paypal again.The only terms now are fly-buy or escrow.We have to act within accordance of DUE DILIGENCE -HMS CUSTOMS AND EXCISE also and we did not feel this was a safe transaction and we will refund Jan in light of this.

Best Wishes,

Clare Francis
