WatchFactory.com.au - Anyone used it before?

Morning folks,

There was a '50% off using code' post published yesterday in OzB for WatchFactory.com.au.
The deal was on for few hours. Looked legit to me. Did a whois is ausregistry and found a registered ABN (63612770788).
So I proceeded and bought a couple of watches.

Now when I searched for the deal today, I found out it was unpublished advising 'sockpuppeting'.
I'm a bit worried now and wondering whether the site is a sham/fraud.

Just wondering if anyone has any previous experience dealing with this site, or if anyone aware of similar hoax.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

The code was: TH1SISUNRE4L

    Hope you paid by credit card so that you can get your money back if needed

  • Please note that deal unpublished due to "sockpuppeting" does not necessarily mean that it's a fraud / scam. In this case the store rep has another account that voted up the deal.

    Just an FYI, I have received all the watches.
    No issues and the delivery was super quick :)
