Swagbings Chainsaw Review: is the Store a Scam?

I received a toy instead of the product and contacted PayPal and got a refund rewarded to me but had to return the toy and that would have cost me more than the actual refund. Please stay away from this fake online store

I purchased powered wood GTA26 chainsaw on Sept 3,2020 and never received it. upon checking there email, it says they are a scam :(

I to ordered this and I turned it over to PayPal and they where going to refund me but I had to return the toy they sent me and it cost more to return the toy than the refund would have been

I ordered one of their saws August 27, 2020 and they deducted the cost ($27.99) plus shipping (($6.99) for a total of $34.98 from my PayPal account August 28 under the name New Boat, HK which I assume probably means Hong Kong. As of November 18, 2020 I have not received the item. I'm not sure I have any way to get my money back at this point. Yes, on the Internet, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I too fell for this scam. I ordered the chainsaw, I couldn't believe they were selling it so cheap, I sent an email to the company, but no response. Finally I turned in a claim with PayPal for a refund of my money. After PayPal contacted Swagbing, they responded with a tracking number and said they just shipped it. PayPal closed my claim based upon that tracking number. PayPal has closed my claim I am out of options. It has been a good learning experience, reinforcing what I already knew, but disregarded anyway; "If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true." Second scam I fell for. The other was the life like babies and same thing happened with PayPal so these scam companies have it figured out ....what they need to say so that PayPal closes the claim and we’re still out the money !!!!!

I too fell for this scam. In late August when I ordered the chainsaw, I could'nt believe they were selling it so cheap, but I ordered it anyway plus an extra charge for "Expedited Shipping". After a month, I sent an email to the company, but no response. Finally I turned in a claim with PayPal for a refund of my money. After PayPal contacted Swagbing, they responded with a tracking number and said they just shipped it. PayPal closed my claim based upon that tracking number. Then today, 2 months and 3 days after I ordered it, a small package was in the mail. It was a small hand operated chain cutter, consisting of a length of chainsaw chain with a fabric handhold on each end. An obvious bait-and-switch. What I got isn't even worth the money I paid for the "Expedited Shipping" much less the whole amount. Since PayPal has closed my claim I am out of options. It has been a good learning experience, reinforcing what I already knew, but disregarded anyway; "If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true."

I ordered the same saws at the end of August. After reading all the reviews, I found out that this was a scam. I was sent the same pieces of chain with a loop at the end. Their website is no longer available but I did send an email and finally got a response. They said to send pictures. I seriously doubt that they are going to do anything. Shame of FB and PayPal for allowing this to happen. I filed a claim with PayPal too but nothing has happened. I will never order from FB ad again. Instead of all their FB fact-checking, they ought to look for this type of Fraud. I guess a 58.00 lesson I learned! At least with Amazon, they back their customers.

I have ordered a wood saw order number 2009623243313 many month ago. They charged PayPal but I haven’t received it, please reply marilyn...

Same here. Received my 'battery operated chain saw' last night. What a joke! AND A SCAM!!!

Holy s..., I ordered two Stihl battery operated saws and a month later received two units that consisted of a 12" length of chain saw blade. I even ordered 2 of those as price was good. After reading all comments I guess there is no way to get refund. I guess it's better to laugh....

Same story here: Thought I was buying a knockoff Stihl mini-chainsaw & only got a camping saw. Opened a dispute with Paypal.

Thing is, after a month, I emailed the address from the confirmation e-mail and got a quick response with a tracking number.

Sooo disappointed when the camping saw showed up...

I ordered two Stihl battery operated pruning saws and a month later received two units that consisted of a 12" length of chain saw blade with a fabric wrist loop on each end. No Stihl battery operated pruning saw. Huge scam.

This just happened to me. I am so mad I fell for this. Ordered electric saw and got chain saw.

I thought Paypal only dealt with reputable companies. I am truly disappointed. Swagbings is a total scam.

I ordered that same 'Stihl' saw as well. Took about two months to get it, and then after me filing against them on Paypal and escalating the case. Just got it today and yep just a cheap chainsaw chain. Only I got triple suckered and ordered three to get the 'free shipping'. Not sure who I'm most mad at, them for ripping me off or myself for allowing it to happen. It infuriates me that with Facebook trolling on False information that is True, they can’t fact check these scam pages!! 😡

I ordered one saw and received a chainsaw chain only , cheap and dull! Tried to contact only got run around, this was a real China steal of money. No more made in china! Must see and touch ,

I ordered that same 'Stihl' saw as well. Took about two months to get it, and then after me filing against the on Paypal and escalating the case. Just got it today and yep just a cheap chainsaw chain. Only I got double suckered and ordered two to get the 'free shipping'. Not sure who I'm most mad at, them for ripping me off or myself for allowing it to happen.

Yes, they are a scam. I ordered a Battery-Powered Wood Cutter - GTA 26 Powered Chainsaw. They sent a chainsaw with two straps on each end. Obviously, I was supposed to supply the power. I wrote to the company. I do not recall expect an answer. I just lost $34.98 and will just chalk it up to experience. I should have known better.

I never received this item, a battery-powered wood cutter. It is a scam!

I got scammed with the hand chainsaw also! Extremely dishonest!

Yes I just got scammed too. I ordered two battery operated chainsaws. One for me and one for my neighbor as a gift. She is always helping me out since I cannot get out of the house due to the pandemic. What a rip off. I hope the get these scammers. I am trying to be nice and not say what I really mean. But here goes. ;))4?!-9743($&-??!’hregbmlkr. Got it?

I purchased a small battery operated chain saw for a total $34.98 on Swagbings only to receive a package in the mail with only a chain for a saw, something I have no use for. I google the business of Swagbings only to see it was a scam. Just wanted to report it so the scam can be stopped.

Same exact story for me. I emailed them and got a reply. They wanted a picture of the product I received and the skew number. So I sent that. They said that since there is nothing wrong it’s the product I received, I would have to pay the shipping costs $20 for the return. I said I would not do that since it was their mistake. Then they offered me to keep the product at 10% off. I really wanted the chainsaws I ordered! I will report them and probably never trust shopping online again. Also, I have not seen an advertisement for this website since I ordered from them.

The same thing happened to me. So it probably isn’t worth sending the pics. I guess I just chalk it up as a loss. Shame on me but shame on PayPal and Facebook too. With all the complaints you think they would do something about it.

The same thing happened to me.

Same thing. No merchandise and paypal has not done anything

I was sent the chains as well after ordering 2 of the saws. I do not even use my paypal account so I am getting a refund from my bank. When I went to the Stihl website to order directly they aren't even available currently. Bummer because I really wanted them. It is really disturbing that fakes like this make it so bad for the legitimate sellers out there.

I will be getting my money back and filing a claim with my bank on this Swagbings scam and you will give me my $50.39 back. I ordered the saws not the d**n chains!!!

By the way I was talking to someone about ordering something from you and they told me not too because you are scammers!! So I guess I am not the first you have scammed. Give me my money back order # 4257

I ordered a Stihl chainsaw and a month later, this is what I got, paid with PayPal. Not good. Sometimes I think PayPal is in cahoots with scammers.I can't send the picture, but it is a chain with handel's on both ends, like velcro...😡

Yep! Same thing happen to ne

I got scammed too! I sent a request to the PayPal resolution department.

Shameful. I was getting it for my husband for Christmas & got took.

Same here!! 😡

I ordered the battery operated chainsaw a month ago and haven’t received nothing yet. I’m planning on e-mailing pay pal to let them know that they are assisting people that are fraudulent.

This website is a scam. My husband ordered from it without checking legitimacy. They insisted he pay with PayPal which was another mistake. If you click on “view your order” there is nothing there. Very disturbing.

checking to see if I can file fraud case with

I would like to check on my order # 11107 please.

I ordered the battery powered chainsaw because it had Stihl printed on the bar of the saw in the advertisement. I now find out that this product is NOT made by Stihl and that more than likely I will get ripped off and get some lame saw or nothing at all! What the H--- is Facebook letting these ripoff companies advertise on their site if it is a known fraudulent enterprise? I say boycott all Facebook advertisements due to Facebook's lack of concern if the public has their hard earned money stolen from them, they don't care obviously!

Same here, I ordered 2 of them and have followed up on 9/2 to be told I would receive them in 1 to 2 wks.
Can't believe FB with all their fact checking is allowing scam advertisers on their site.

Agreed same issue

did you get money back?

not yet...cant talk to pay pal...my credit card company told me to try and talk to pay pal since all 3 email addresses are fake

I order battery powered chain-saw and all I got was the hand chain-saw in my shipment my name is DARRELL WHITSON I LIVE AT 109 EAST BROADWAY HAYTI MO. 63851 AND I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO SENT ME MY CHAIN-SAW LIKE I ORDERED AND PAID FOR PLEASE!!!

Exactly the same here !!!!!
