"Don’t waste your time," wrote Matthew in a letter to Current.com.au. " I just spent 30 minutes walking around the store looking for their so-called bargains, and when I did buy a couple of things, they charged me full price.
"I hadn’t even left the store when I realised, so I went back to the counter and was basically told to go away, and I would need to speak to the administrators.
"Just because they have gone into administration doesn’t give them the right to steal."
Matthew told Current.com.au he planned on contacting the ASIC and ACCC with his complaint.
Current.com.au has placed a call to the Ferrier Hodgson to discuss this and several other aspects of WOW's receivership.
