Is Vortoutlet a Scam at vortoutlet.com? See Review of Store

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 PLACED AN ORDER AND DID NOT GET A RESPONSE FROM THE SELLER OR PAYPAL. CHECKED MY ACCT. AND FOUND MY CREDIT CARD WAS CHARGED. UNEXPLAINED CHARGES WERE ADDED. 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.

Absolutely Scammers! DO NOT buy from this company!

Stay away from these scam artists

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.

So I'm 73 yes old and I ordered a crossbow from them and and nothing; first time I've ever been screwed and it will be the last. all they are is a dingle berry's on a dogs butt

I "caught" them right after I submitted my paypal payment .I received a paypal e-mail that listed the seller's e-mail and that the item shipped at the same time payment was received! But no confirmation number or shipping information. I sent several e-mails to the seller and to Vortoutlet. No reply, not surprisingly. I've submitted the situation to Paypal, but am probably out the money. Below is a link where we can report the scam/fraud. I'll be doing this.

Same as everyone else. No confirmation email, no response to outreach, filed complaint via PayPal. It took 2 go arounds because they are able to submit a forged “delivery receipt”. Although the dummies put the weight as 0.2 pounds …worlds smallest coffee maker, huh? That’s what got PayPal to reverse charges. I also contacted UPS since they submitted a forged receipt via their website top.

They took me for a leatherman multi-tool. I did screen shot the confirmation number, but I don’t think that will help too much. Anyway, I’m working with PayPal to see what we can do, but my guess is they got me this time. I am certainly feeling foolish, but it’s not the first or the last time I’m sure.

Got me as well no confirmation or email or tracking number

Same thing just happened to me. I went to buy a wheelbarrow and realized after that it's not coming. No receipt, no invoice, no tracking number. Just cancelled my CC and hope they honor my dispute. Thanks for confirming this fraud.

few days ago, I purchased a dinnerware set from the mentioned site, it happens that I didn't receive any confirmation email or order. and I found that my transaction on my credit card is registered under PayPal account. I felt it wrong, called my credit card company and notified them. I am still working on it to make sure that I get full refund.

Looking for metal detector and came across vortloutlet and a GOLD BUG 2 is selling for $99.00 and I say great, I'll buy it. But them I say, What,this is just too low when they cost 5 hundred and up. I check it out and of course it's on BBB as an UNTRUSTWORTHY site. Im glad I researched cuz I WOULD OF BEEN BURNED! 😅 If it sounds too good to be true,the truth is: it's good for them but not good for you! Say goodbye and keep your money.😁
