Is there no way to catch hold of them & stop them from doing this. They fooled me by asking money & not sending products..

Fraudulent electronics store in China.
Keep in mind that brand electronics are usually more expensive in China due to VAT. If you see low price brand items you will get scammed.
The way it works is:
1. You send the money (usually via Western Union)
2. You get informed there is problem (usually customs etc.)
3. Problem can be fixed for more money (another 10-20%)
4. After payment, there is yet another problem...
This will repeat until you realize that you got scammed.

Usually If it's too good to be true, it probably is. I did take a look at the website in question, however, and under method of payment it stated "Western Union".
Western Union by rule of thumb is actually a very bad way to pay for something because unlike paypal, they do not protect the consumer. If you pay through Western Union and the person never ships you the item, Western Union will not refund you the money. =/
Hope that helps! If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask! =]
