When Australian entrepreneur and mum Svetlana Foox set out to build her dream business, she thought she had found the perfect web development partner.

After months of planning, she searched online for a company to build her new membership platform, VainishPerks.com.au. The business promoted itself as a Shopify development partner and appeared professional, experienced and trustworthy.

Confident she had found the right team, Foox paid the full development fee upfront and then they disappeared.
