PayPal is useless, absolutely no help at all. I too was fooled due to seeing PayPal on this site. I have contacted AMEX and the individual I spoke with said to wait an additional 1-2 weeks to see if I receive the merchandise. I did not agree with this but want to get my money back so am having to follow the rules. Please do not order from this scammer.
I ordered from Sootgear and have not received my order. I felt they were legit because they were using PayPal. However, I do not use or like Pay-Pal so I used my credit card instead. Now I find out about various reviews of sootgear and tried to notify/call pay pal.I do not have a Pay Pal account but after banging my head against the wall talking to a "ROBOT" I gave up! Why? Simple I told the menu robot I did not have a PayPal account and voice told me to go to PayPal.com/resolution, which I did only to find out I needed to sign into my account to go there. What does "I don't have an account" mean? Certainly nothing to a voice robot.
I MADE A PURCHASE FROM THIS SITE AND GEMSTONE.THIS IS HOW I HAVE RECOGNIZED THE SCAMMING SITES.I HAVE GONE THROUGH AND NOTED QUITE SIMILAR SITES AND BELIEVE THEY ARE ALL SCAMMING BY THE SAME PERSON.HIS NAME IS NGUYEN DUY TOAN. HE IS A TOTAL THIEF.THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTACT THEM ONCE THEY HAVE YOUR MONEY.THE PHONE NUMBERS AND EMAIL ACCOUNTS ARE BOGUS.THE OTHER SITES I HAVE FOUND TO BE THE SAME AS THIS ARE:GemstoreKidsevenZeerabePiuraredJustsledsJocastaLiaviaDO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THESE SITES!YOU WILL BE TOTALLY RIPPED OFF.
Look at the construction of the website, and if it looks like the Sootgear one, then it’s a scam clone and you will be ripped off. Just saying
I placed an order yesterday. I became suspicious after not receiving a statement showing my purchase. Checked my banking this morning and it had paid the amount I was charged. I have tried sending an email and it was fake also. On their webpage, I filled in my suspicions and have not heard from them. I checked this out before I purchased it. The site looks perfectly legitimate. I paid for this with Pay Pal so no other information was given. I will get in touch with PayPal and follow their suggestions. SHUT THESE THEIFS DOWN
This site is a scam. They can go as far as getting your bank information as well as PayPal account information. Cancel your bank card immediately and get new card or account.
