Scamming - Fraud
The website or online store African Womens Dream located at www.africanwomensdream.org is fraudulent. Online users are advised to stay away from the fraudulent website, and those who have shopped from it, run the risk of their personal, credit card and other payment processing information getting stolen by cyber-criminals and used fraudulently. They also run the risk of receiving counterfeit goods, or poor quality goods that look nothing like what was advertised. Therefore, we do not recommend purchasing or visiting africanwomensdream.org.
The cybercriminals behind the fake website will use another website and change the name once the current website has been taken down. Therefore, only shop on popular and reputable websites. And, for online users who have already used their credit cards on the website, are asked to contact their banks for help. They should let their banks know that they have unknowingly used their credit cards on an untrustworthy website.

Received via email: "SHADY, beware of africanwomensdream.org. I ordered a dress that was a good deal, then got the exact email indicated above, with an amount that was $10 more than what I paid. The email seemed suspicious since it didn't match the site and when I went back to the site to check my order history, it showed I had not ordered on record. Then when I googled shoppingcustomer.com, this site came up warning about fraud. Immediately reported as a fraud to my credit card company and canceled my card."
