I am a federal government investigator this happened to me too you have to outsmart them I to figure this out 10 minutes after I sent the money to a Kyle Martin through PayPal.

I was assured through PayPal because I had stopped us before confirmation was given for shipment that I would not be losing my money Cail provided a shipment that an overnight 500 pound kennel was shipped to my mailbox.

I took this confirmation number to my post office where they confirmed that this is an ongoing scam they printed a receipt they cannot tell you the address that that confirmation had a delivery to because of privacy laws but they will confirm to PayPal that it was not delivered to your address.

What this person is doing and all the others with these fake sites have hacked into The Amazon shipping databases hence the 10 to 20 day delivery time somebody in your ZIP Code within 20 days will order some thing from Amazon and that is the confirmation code that they give PayPal. Take your receipt make sure you have your local post office phone number as well as the one 800 post office number submit this to service-paypal.com you can also upload it to your dispute resolution I suggest both I would also call them as well and tell them PayPal is very aware of the scam but they don’t do anything about it because it’s too big they claim to stop. So once you submit the receipt PayPal will call to verify this package was not delivered to you and the weight of the package my kennel should’ve weighed 500 pounds not 6 ounces once this is confirmed PayPal will reverse the charges and give you back your money but you have to be the person to do the legwork when PayPal just gives you a confirmation don’t throw your hands up fight back send them proof that it was not delivered to you your post office is aware of the scams very aware but their hands are tied to because someone did receive a package a 6 ounce package of whatever they ordered it’s just that their delivery confirmation gets stolen and submitted to PayPal by these thieves.

So again go to the post office get a print out it’ll be on a receipt like a sales receipt and submit it to PayPal this is how you get your money back the only way you get your money back. You have to outsmart the criminal.

You have to go to the post office and get a print out with the confirmation number on it you have to submit that to PayPal they will call and confirm with the post office that that package did not get delivered to you that it is a scam the criminal is hacking the Amazon database and getting confirmation numbers and using that as confirmation that your package was delivered to you when in fact it was not the post office confirms with PayPal that you did not get a delivery to your address and the confirmation number belongs to somebody else this is how you get your money back

I got scammed also. Same story as all the rest. Definitely fraud. I will never use shoppica for anything. Should have known better
Filed complaint with PayPal. Probably lost my money too. They should be found and shot!

I do believe I've been scammed by Shoppica , if you can not screen your vendors better to prevent the use of your site by scammers then you need to shut down and provide everyone who has been taken with a full refund !!

I got caught also. I have filed a grievance with PayPal and as soon as I get a response I will file an internet fraud grievance with the FTC. the itc.gov, and FBI internet fraud division.

Well I just ordered 4 of the 12” off this site lol then decided to look up reviews. Should have looked up reviews first I guess. I always wanted a 12” on my boat. Should have known.

"On Facebook, there is a link, Shoppica which is listing sporting goods, specifically "fish finders" by Hummingbird, Lowrance, and Garmin to name a few. They are stating quantities are limited but are offering free shipping. However, some of the "fish finders" are selling on legit sites for over $4000.00 per unit. They are offering your choice of many fish finders for only $99 each. I tend to think this site is a fake one and just waiting to rip you off. Can you check and see what you can find out on it? Why is Facebook allowing these criminals to post such stuff"

Ordered dog kennel 4 weeks ago and received tracking information and the tracking number was fake. Luckily paid with PayPal and disputed it so hopefully will get my money back.

Did you receive your refund? Just wondering if PP backed the purchase or not (another reviewer said PP backed the merchant)...I’d like to order a dog kennel but want peace of mind I’ll get a refund if it’s a scam. Thanks in advance!

I got scammed from a similar site. Paypal did NOT back me up. The online "merchart" sent paypal tracking that said it was delivered somewhere in my city (It definitely was not) so they told me to go jump in the lake. Paypal enables scammers.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Lafayette, Tennessee, United States

I paid with PayPal too. Filed a dispute and showed that the tracking number was fake. They chose to believe the scammer and so now I'm stuck paying for an item that I never received.

Hi. It looks like a scam. I remember ordering a cook pressure pot and I never receive it. I call the bank fast and the bank returns my money back. Scam be careful because this is to cheaper to buy for 99. I buy amazon is a lot of money but is secure.

I ordered a kennel from them. Cost 114 dollars, still no delivery, no correct email, to get my money back. I want a refund, and someone needs to make this happen immediately!

Definitely a fake site. I ordered 3 and the money was paid to 3 individuals!

by an anonymous user from: Mississippi, United States

I ordered a dog kennel from shoppica.com over 3 weeks ago and they guarantee delivery within 5 days but no one will respond back to my emails. Now I have lost $114. If this is a fake platform then Shoppica.com should be responsible and pay my money back and go after the fake stores themselves. The banks should not have to be responsible for this.
