Bought a min bike and what showed up was a black hairband for girls.
This FAKE SCAMMING online store vendor steals pictures and descriptions from LEGIT online stores and poses as the legit retailer of the product. A great reminder to be VERY careful and cautious when shopping online - always double-check the retailer; their website; their online store; and do a little bit of research prior to making payment, supplying your personal information and potentially compromising your identity and financials. I could have thwarted my mistake with a quick Google search and verified that this was a legit vendor - instead, I just trusted that I was on the correct website for the product - HUGE MISTAKE.I am in the process of filing Fraud charges and making sure that PayPal opens full investigation. I will also be letting the REAL vendor know to research that their product pictures and description has been stolen and being used to SCAM people. In my situation this Fake site came up as the 1st Google image to the product I was searching for - So this fake vendor is manipulating Google Search and images to drive traffic to their fake site. I guess I bought them some delicious PeKing Duck to enjoy tonight, shame on me for being naive - BUT I won't stop fighting them until PayPal removes their payment option from this fake and fraudulent site.
Note, this a scam. They don't actually send you anything. They send it to your neighborhood - but it's an empty package to a neighbor. Nothing ever shows up in your mailbox. This is actually a fairly old scam. Just to reiterate the basics: the seller prints the label as usual (so that shipping records show the buyer's actual address), but then slaps on a different address within the buyer's City and ZIP code. The package itself may be either empty or contain some trinket to give the USPS something to deliver to that wrong address. Eventually, the tracking number shows a Delivered status, even though the original buyer has received nothing; somewhere else in the same town is a baffled recipient with something he didn't order (and probably no return address either).If the buyer files an Item Not Received, the seller counters with the Delivery Confirmation, and as it is not specific to a street address, the seller wins.The buyer doesn't have a whole lot to work with in the case of a scam like this. The reply above indicating that an image of the package label is available is a promising step forward, if in fact it was scanned at some point in its travels. In addition, the very newest portable scanners log their GPS coordinates for each delivery, helping to pin down where the misdirected shipment might have gone. It's not clear whether eBay/PayPal would know what to do with that evidence these days, as the initial INR is typically decided by bots; the buyer would have to appeal, talk to someone on the phone, and get them to look at (and understand) the package image or other delivery data.Here (below) is a link to an interesting read about another buyer who was victimized by the same scam, but who actually won out in the end:http://community.ebay.com/t5/Shipping-Returns/Delivery-Confirmed-But-Not-Delivered/m-p/23846138#M82602
Scammers 69.95. Now my account doesn't exist! But the money's gone!
Ordered a bike, never got a confirmation of purchase email or order number tracking number. It is a scam. $74.98
They are big time scammers. Do not buy from them
There selling a bass bag for a very low price saying Bobelock Bass Bag. These people are scammers.
I tried to order a 14" band saw last night but was unable due to a pop up. It said order must be between $5 and $80. This morning it let go to the check out. When this happened it threw a red flag in my mind. This has to be a SCAM! Buyer be ware. Please avoid this company. They offer thing at unrealistic prices. Please pass this info along.
Suddenly they offer tools at very low prices with only $4 shipping but when you are trying to check out, there is a pop-up message that the order cannot be over $80! So they are “selling” items at 79.99 but you cannot check out! Do not trust them!
Total scam website. They offer everything from jewelry to power tools. They purport to be in China but the fraudulent charges go thru pen on pen Thailand. No merchandise is ever shipped not even fraudulent merchandise.Total scam to get your money. DO NOT ORDErSnything and do not use any form of online payment. You can be out the money with nothing to show for it. They hijack stock images to make you will receive the real thing but in fact, you will receive nothing. They are big on Google searches. BEWARE!
