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!!!!!!
Got scammed -- ordered a thermostat after a google search sent me here.
