Recently, a few fake and fraudulent online store claiming to sell Outdoor Garden Sheds for $99 have been popping up online. Online shoppers are advised to stay away from the fraudulent stores because those who attempt to purchase the so-called sheds will not receive them. Online shoppers who have already made purchases on the fraudulent online stores are asked to contact their bank or financial institution to have their transactions canceled and money refunded. They should also have their banks help them prevent the cybercriminals who are operating the fake online stores from continuously charging their credit cards.

I have also been scammed by this fraudulent company. I should have known if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't right.
Up until today, they are still telling me that my order has shipped and the last email told me it had been delivered. What a fool I've been!

Purchased this $99 garden shed online through Facebook on August 30,2019.
Received no confirmation or tracking information since.
The charge on my account was to Ballina Carfix Ballina AU.
It gave a category of:
Merchandise Mens/Lady Clothing.
Just didn't make any sense so I believe we were scammed.
