Is Cathego a Scam or Untrustworthy Online Shoe Store?

This Cathego.com store is very shady. I ordered a pair of shoes and they did not come close to f*****g. they were so cheaply made that the strap was already coming apart when I took them out of the box. They are extremely misshaped and I wouldn't know who could have ever worn them. I have had a nightmare of trying to return them and trying to get my money back - but sorry - nothing is working now for months. So my money is down the tubes. I'm wondering how we can unite our efforts to close them down first of all to stop from others falling into this trap - and then if possible - try to recoup some funds. This is such a shame and a terrible scam.

Horrible shoes. Stiff unbendable sole. Top looks like paper.
Dont buy heere

DO NOT BUY - you will not receive the shoe in the picture. I ordered a pair of sandals in April 2020. The description says upper leather but what I received was made of canvas material and a completely different sole. It was not what I thought I had ordered. Very disappointed.

Same. I ordered back in April. It is not July 9th, and the sandals finally arrived. And they are absolutely NOT the same shoe advertised. The description says leather upper. They are made of the cheapest canvas material. Clearly poor construction, trash quality shoe. And obviously not the shoe in the picture. DO NOT BUY

Do not buy from Cathego. They will take the money from your credit card immediately. After waiting a month for them to ship, I email them to cancel the order. We emailed back and forth with them asking me why I wanted to cancel, and then asking me the same question again 3 emails later. After another week goes by they go ahead and ship PART of the order. I emailed them they were going to have to pay to return the order. I haven't heard from them. Package comes in and they have placed a label over the original label from an address in Alabama. I looked it up and it's the address for a gas station. This is a scam. They will not answer my emails, and half my shipment never came in.There is no way to look up your order online. When I put in my email it tells me it doesn't exist. The address and phone numbers to contact them are fake. When they answered my emails they could not use proper English. I am going to my Credit Card company and file a complaint and try to get my money refunded. They should be arrested and shut down.

Same here...Placed an order in mid April and received bogus tracking info. It said the shoes arrived in Fremont, CA on May 1st and it's now June 9th and nothing! It's only a 7 hour truck ride to Huntington Beach. Doubt I'll ever see the shoes or my money. I'll never buy anything advertised on Instagram or FB again. Glad it was only one pair. Sorry for those of you who invested more money :(

I ordered a pair of sandals from Cathegos who then notified me by email saying they had been shipped on May 28th but I haven’t received them nor can I reach anyone at this company to help me. So I looked them up and found this info saying the company is a scam and advising me to contact my bank and start a dispute to get my money back.

I looked up the number attached to the on-line purchase I made to a company called yongelyuan clothing, which evidently share the same phone number with a shady footwear online company (0755-84829715).
I started to have concerns after I got an email that told me my order had been shipped on the 2nd of June, but there was no tracking information. That seemed odd to me. How can it have been "shipped" anywhere without some record of its movement?! I then did what I should have done BEFORE I placed my order, I Googled them; 2 bad reviews, and nothing else, then I searched the phone number; it's connected to ANOTHER on-line sketchy company (footwear).
I don't have a lot to spend on clothing, in fact this would have been my first such purchase in YEARS! But because we're in the middle of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC it seemed like the way to go. :(
I am struggling, like MANY ARE, just now. It is beyond distressing to be reminded YET AGAIN that humans are sometimes just plain gross and greedy creatures!
I shudder to think of the flaming hoops I'll have to go through, now, just to get any satisfaction! Good times.

Same story I ordered on. April 24th and it is June 4th and still no shoes, trying to cancel and get a refund but no luck, I'm going to contact my bank.

I ordered two pairs of shoes May 17th. Received a email from them saying it was shopping out May 21st. Still waiting for delivery. I tried their tracking system that didn't work so sent two emails have heard nothing. I am so mad. They got my money but I didn't get the shoes. Never again! I want my money back but how?

I ordered sandals in early March and have not received them. Cannot get any shipping info or email requests answered. They definitely took the money. If anyone knows how to contact them(Cathego) let me know.
