Is bilkent.edu.tr a real company?
The site does not name a company anywhere we could find, which is unusual for a business taking payments.
I already paid. What should I do?
Contact your bank or card issuer and ask for a chargeback, quoting "goods not received" or "not as described". Keep screenshots of the order and any messages. Then add a report here so the next person sees it.
