Sorry can't link. Yes admin,PJ are Madeleines and our only hope for justice.

Online store still down but the display page features the CW e-fits again with the MET logo at the bottom. Then the actual Home Page is as before.

Strange. Did you check Bellisa and confirm? I had a look and it's the same 'check back soon' message. Not open. Am I seeing things?

How come? I went to the page and refreshed home, went to store and same message. Your link works. But why?

fpizza34's post brings you in if you want some car stickers.

Perhaps I'm being stupid but this seems to be a completely different site, prefaced 'shop'. When you click home on the link given, it takes you to home of the shop, not the main site homepage. So where did this link come from, please?! Curious and thanks.

So why the discrepancy??? The Display Page has reverted to the MET e-fits and the online store still down when you go in via the usual website address..

Web online store probably has a new address

With no connection to the regular site? OK, but where did this link come from? Just wondering. Cheers.

Something not adding up here. This is their flagship official Find Madeleine site. The go-to place for all your info and holiday packages. Why confuse people with an online store completely divorced from this site? Why put off would be buyers with an extra hurdle to clear. Also there is no re-direction to the new shop address. I think it is faux.

Could they have set up a new business in meantime with different objectives?
So strange.

Back in 'Business' then ?

Sticking their finger up to those who said SY were onto them.

They need to mug more OAPs and school children as their legal costs are mounting up.

The McCanns only have one objective - making money.

Looking on the bright side, their accounts to March 2013 don't look robust enough to sustain the sort of legal representation they require. They must be pretty desperate if they think a few wristbands and luggage labels are going to make a dent in the bills they are running up. It would be a delicious irony if they bankrupted themselves in Lisbon. Poetic justice at least.

They can't be making much from book sales either. You can buy it on Ebay for 99p plus £1.69 postage.

One thing about the New and Improved Online Shop - you have absolutely no way of knowing where your info and your credit card numbers, etc., are being sent. Since there's no link back to the main page, and just an email address supplied if you have questions... you could be sending your credit card details to some hacker in Timbuktu for all you know.

by Christina 10.01.14 0:13

Thanks so much, I hadn't seen that particular Facebook page. Yes, it seems to be right.

Well, bit gutted actually, but lets see. Will read that page a bit more closely. Thanks again.

Does the security lock appear when one tries to donate?

Yes it does when you click on Check Out.

Does that mean it's legit and it protects your billing info?

Well, no one could ever accuse Kate and Gerry of being slapdash when it comes to the collection of money. All the t's crossed and i's dotted. No unlocked doors or erm, anything like, erm, that... er...

Nice one for checking and asking. Wondering if the webmaster counts as 'staff' for the purposes of the accounts, but I'm going off topic. Will check thread.

It seems to be genuine, it is announced on OFM facebook page and the link goes directly to their store, complete will lots of shills discussing how their children wear the t-shirts to sleep in (really? beyond sick imo), and how their old ones are outgrown and worn. There seems to be a bit of a sales drive going on.

This is quite possibly the worst bit of news for our 'campaign' - and even an eternal optimist such as I am struggling to make sense of it. I wondered recently if it might have been the subject of litigation, and if there has been some kind of in camera hearing. The shop goes live as the Fund accounts are published. Could this be a huge 'phew' moment for the McCanns? If there was any suspicion of fraud surrounding the Fund, it would be wrong on every level to allow it to continue trading. This does not bode well, and combined with the recent immortal words of Dr. Sharon Leal, I wonder if SY really are going to go with the 3 burglars, even though it is probably the most ridiculous fairytale so far.

I hope someone can find something optimistic to say to say about this.
