Definitely a scam! I was looking at plasma cutters online at Home Depot and one came up for a very good price at this place. I ordered it thinking there wouldn’t be many left at this price, I received a email from PayPal saying it was shipped and supplied a tracking number. I was confident until I checked the tracking number; it showed delivered USPS the day I ordered it and somehow to my town and front porch. After checking with the postmaster she said it was a scam and somehow they used a tracking number that was legit just to a different location. I’m still waiting for PayPal to make a decision while reviewing

I originally posted here on Nov. 18 about having been scammed and reporting the issue to PayPal the same day I made the purchase. They originally found against me. Thank you to the person on here who provided the phone number for PayPal. I just called PayPal a few minutes ago to report that it's two weeks later and I still haven't received my item, and that I was also happy to provide the link to this review site. The representative was wonderful. She refunded me on the spot and said I had done the right thing by filing my initial detailed dispute as quickly as I had. She also confirmed that the fraudulent website has been flagged and so has the particular e-mail of the person who scammed me. If anyone used PayPal to purchase an item, it's absolutely worth calling them at 888-221-1161.

I STARTED A CASE WITH PAYPAL ASKING FOR A REFUND. A DAY LATER PAYPAL SENT AN EMAIL SHOWING THE SELLER HAD SHIPPED BUT NO TRACKING. cOULD NOT FIND A WAY TO CONTACT THE SELLER. ON 11-22-21 PAYPAL RETURNED THE OVERCHARGES AND EMAILED THAT THE CASE IS CLOSED. I HAVE CONTACTED PAYPAL TELLING THEM THAT I WANT A FULL REFUND AS I STATED IN MY CASE ON 11-15-210. nOW PAYPAL WANTS ME TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY CREDIT CARD CO. tHE CREDIT CARD CO. SAYS THEY WILL INVESTIGATE AND CAN TAKE UP TO 60 DAYS. pAYPAL NEEDS TO SCREEN SELLERS BETTER AS THEIR SIGHT SAYS THEY DO.

Definite scam.

They don't respond to your order. Paypal does - telling you they have paid.

The site never sends shipping info.

I complained to Paypal. The site gives Paypal a shipping tracking number with USPS showing my zip and city but not my address.

Paypal claim this shows the product was delivered. Nonsense.

I push them and an actual person responds. And refunds me.

The scam is smart. They send an actual package to your zip but not your home. They use this to 'prove' the shipment to paypal. They get paid.

The saga continues. Contacted PayPal about a dispute with this company. I tried several times to contact yujiongpai71@126.com with no luck. PayPal sent me an email saying that the vendor said that the item (toolbox ) was delivered and gave them a tracking number that was bogus. The item was NOT delivered to my address per the USPS and the item weight less than a pound. Sent the email from the USPS to PayPal this afternoon so the ball is in their court now. You would think that also many disputes that PayPal would smarten up and do something about these SCAM ARTISTS. Will see what happens now

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE! I finally just won my claim with PayPal to reverse my charges (for over $300) for items that I did not receive from this company! (yeay!) I feel very lucky that I stayed persistent with my claim, and the people at PayPal were very helpful. I called PayPal Customer Service (888-221-1161) EVERY day to check on things until it was resolved! Hopefully this info will help some people :)

I too was taken in by this site. I complained to paypal within one hour after seeing an incorrect transaction amount reported by paypal. after a week of investigation by paypal; a tracking number was supplied by the "vendor" that shows it was delivered to "my town". Paypal then closed my complaint. I of course did not receive any item. I have seen other complaints about this site with the same M.O., that a tracking number shows a delivery which did not occur. It turns out the P.O. keeps more detailed tracking info than shown on the retail USPS site. The postmaster kindly gave me a printout showing the actual address the package was sent to. Also instead of it being a 6lb item that I purchased, it was a 1.5 oz letter. I assume that's the key to the scam. If people complain, find a random address in "your town" mail them an empty envelope with tracking, and then the purchaser can't complain they never received the item. I am going to reopen the case with paypal (somehow) with my new information but first i'm going to the addressee of the letter to see if they still have it in their possession.

Online Threat Alerts Security Tips

Pay the safest way

Credit cards are the safest way to pay for online purchases because you can dispute the charges if you never get the goods or services or if the offer was misrepresented. Federal law limits your liability to $50 if someone makes unauthorized charges to your account, and most credit card issuers will remove them completely if you report the problem promptly.

Guard your personal information

In any transaction you conduct, make sure to check with your state or local consumer protection agency and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see if the seller, charity, company, or organization is credible. Be especially wary if the entity is unfamiliar to you. Always call the number found on a website’s contact information to make sure the number legitimately belongs to the entity you are dealing with.

Be careful of the information you share

Never give out your codes, passwords or personal information, unless you are sure of who you're dealing with

Know who you’re dealing with

Crooks pretending to be from companies you do business with may call or send an email, claiming they need to verify your personal information. Don’t provide your credit card or bank account number unless you are actually paying for something and know who you are sending payment to. Your social security number should not be necessary unless you are applying for credit. Be especially suspicious if someone claiming to be from a company with whom you have an account asks for information that the business already has.

Check your accounts

Regularly check your account transactions and report any suspicious or unauthorised transactions.

Don’t believe promises of easy money

If someone claims that you can earn money with little or no work, get a loan or credit card even if you have bad credit, or make money on an investment with little or no risk, it’s probably a scam. Oftentimes, offers that seem too good to be true, actually are too good to be true.

Do not open email from people you don’t know

If you are unsure whether an email you received is legitimate, try contacting the sender directly via other means. Do not click on any links in an email unless you are sure it is safe.

Think before you click

If an email or text message looks suspicious, don’t open any attachments or click on the links.

Verify urgent requests or unsolicited emails, messages or phone calls before you respond

If you receive a message or a phone call asking for immediate action and don't know the sender, it could be a phishing message.

Be careful with links and new website addresses

Malicious website addresses may appear almost identical to legitimate sites. Scammers often use a slight variation in spelling or logo to lure you. Malicious links can also come from friends whose email has unknowingly been compromised, so be careful.

Secure your personal information

Before providing any personal information, such as your date of birth, Social Security number, account numbers, and passwords, be sure the website is secure.

Stay informed on the latest cyber threats

Keep yourself up to date on current scams by visiting this website daily.

Use Strong Passwords

Strong passwords are critical to online security.

Keep your software up to date and maintain preventative software programs

Keep all of your software applications up to date on your computers and mobile devices. Install software that provides antivirus, firewall, and email filter services.

Update the operating systems on your electronic devices

Make sure your operating systems (OSs) and applications are up to date on all of your electronic devices. Older and unpatched versions of OSs and software are the target of many hacks. Read the CISA security tip on Understanding Patches and Software Updates for more information.

What if You Got Scammed?

Stop Contact With The Scammer

Hang up the phone. Do not reply to emails, messages, or letters that the scammer sends. Do not make any more payments to the scammer. Beware of additional scammers who may contact you claiming they can help you get your lost money back.

Secure Your Finances

  • Report potentially compromised bank account, credit or debit card information to your financial institution(s) immediately. They may be able to cancel or reverse fraudulent transactions.
  • Notify the three major credit bureaus. They can add a fraud alert to warn potential credit grantors that you may be a victim of identity theft. You may also want to consider placing a free security freeze on your credit report. Doing so prevents lenders and others from accessing your credit report entirely, which will prevent them from extending credit:

Check Your Computer

If your computer was accessed or otherwise affected by a scam, check to make sure that your anti-virus is up-to-date and running and that your system is free of malware and keylogging software. You may also need to seek the help of a computer repair company. Consider utilizing the Better Business Bureau’s website to find a reputable company.

Change Your Account Passwords

Update your bank, credit card, social media, and email account passwords to try to limit further unauthorized access. Make sure to choose strong passwords when changing account passwords.

Report The Scam

Reporting helps protect others. While agencies can’t always track down perpetrators of crimes against scammers, they can utilize the information gathered to record patterns of abuse which may lead to action being taken against a company or industry.

Report your issue to the following agencies based on the nature of the scam:

  • Local Law Enforcement: Consumers are encouraged to report scams to their local police department or sheriff’s office, especially if you lost money or property or had your identity compromised.
  • Federal Trade Commission: Contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) or use the Online Complaint Assistant to report various types of fraud, including counterfeit checks, lottery or sweepstakes scams, and more.
  • Identitytheft.gov: If someone is using your personal information, like your Social Security, credit card, or bank account number, to open new accounts, make purchases, or get a tax refund, report it at www.identitytheft.gov. This federal government site will also help you create your Identity Theft Report and a personal recovery plan based on your situation. Questions can be directed to 877-ID THEFT.

How To Recognize a Phishing Scam

Scammers use email or text messages to try to steal your passwords, account numbers, or Social Security numbers. If they get that information, they could get access to your email, bank, or other accounts. Or they could sell your information to other scammers. Scammers launch thousands of phishing attacks like these every day — and they’re often successful.

Scammers often update their tactics to keep up with the latest news or trends, but here are some common tactics used in phishing emails or text messages:

Phishing emails and text messages often tell a story to trick you into clicking on a link or opening an attachment. You might get an unexpected email or text message that looks like it’s from a company you know or trust, like a bank or a credit card or utility company. Or maybe it’s from an online payment website or app. The message could be from a scammer, who might

  • say they’ve noticed some suspicious activity or log-in attempts — they haven’t
  • claim there’s a problem with your account or your payment information — there isn’t
  • say you need to confirm some personal or financial information — you don’t
  • include an invoice you don’t recognize — it’s fake
  • want you to click on a link to make a payment — but the link has malware
  • say you’re eligible to register for a government refund — it’s a scam
  • offer a coupon for free stuff — it’s not real
