I've been b****y scammed

It's my aunt's birthday today. She hasn't been well so I thought I'd order flowers for her birthday.
Found a lovely website with next day delivery as I'm on 8-4 shift so wouldn't have got to our local florist before work.
Well, guess what, I pick the only online florist that appears to be a scam. I can't believe it. Flowers didn't turn up which made me feel an idiot when I rang my aunt. I managed to work around it by saying she had a surprise coming tomorrow
I googled the company and boy did I have my eyes opened. Seems I'm not the only one to be taken by them
I'm absolutely spitting fire.
I have to now wait until my credit card company processes the transaction then I can dispute it. It's not the money, it's just the fact I've been taken for a mug. This was a really professional looking website with an 0800 number.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!
I'm going to go tell Watchdog now
Will have to ring the local florist in the morning and get same day delivery.
I hate being ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paid by credit card so can dispute it as goods not delivered. It's more the deception that I'm angry about

I know, hindsight eh? Should have just rang my florist and nipped round to pay them on Saturday. Was trying to be organised. I could happily throttle someone
