Unacceptable publishing feedback delay on Ahappydeal.com (review)

ahappydeal.com allows buyers to leave feedback on products they bought and share their userexperience with the products with other potential buyers. Customers who leave feedback also gain discount points for each feedback left. This should be reassuring for potential buyers, however ahappydeal.com takes a considerable amount of time to actually publish these reviews.
More importantly it seems that ahappydeal.com publishes only positive reviews!
The reason I know that is cause I left two not so positive reviews on two items I bought concerning both items and the after-sales customer service involved and none has been published over a month later...

This is certainly a bad seller practice which for newcomers is not obvious. So here you go. Be careful when buying stuff from ahappydeal.com and everbuying.com as they are essentially the same e-shop and do not trust positive feedback on items they sell.

UPDATE:
Also something else that had not previously chekced. Every time you buy something from Ahappydeal.com you get a tracking code and a link to view where your item is. However this code is useless. The website supposedly checking the tacking code is in chinese, and returns giberish every time and no useful information even when using google translate. The ahappydeal.com tracking code system is USELESS

Credit card fraud

Uk.Finance.Yahoo news has an interesting article about a new type of credit card scam.


[...] The scam works by the victim being telephoned by the fraudster to renew their debit or credit card owing to a fraud on the account. The owner is told to key in their pin number on the phone and a courier is sent out to collect the card. The card is then sent direct to the criminal who also has the pin number.

The majority of victims are older adults and the scammers often give an alternative number for people to call back on to ensure the call is genuine. But instead of hanging up many people are tricked into thinking the call is from their bank and stay on the line.[...]

The UK Payments Council has urged people never to hand over their card to anyone who has come to the door, never to enter their pin number over the telephone and to always speak to their bank securely by making sure there is a dial tone when calling and only ever using the bank’s advertised number.[...]
