PO Box 6368 Rosemead CA 91770 Scam

I bought some coins and I received something totally different from what was advertised. Classic bait and switch. They were shipped from this address PO Box 6368 Rosemead CA 91770. The seller offered a partial refund and when I refused, they offered a full refund if I sent the scam coins back to some Chinese address that I cannot even begin to translate or figure out how to mail to. PayPal was of no help, they said I must send them back to wherever they tell me to within 8 days or the case will be closed with no recourse. I have a feeling if I dispute this with my card company then they will say the transaction is between them and PayPal and therefore, valid.

Friends of mine also had the same thing happened to them! One purchased what he thought was a small automatic hand saw for the garden that he saw on Facebook. He thought $30 was a bit too good to be true for what the video showed, but he ordered anyway. But, what he got was a large pocket knife.

The other ordered what was supposed to be a kit for making a casting of hands, but 2 months later he got a poorly packed package with bass of plaster of Paris, no casting bucket, and no instructions... not even how much water to mix the powder with. No return address and no way to contact the seller, which seems to be in China but mailed this from California. I paid with PayPal

If you received the package from the P.O Box from Rosemead, CA please contact the Postal Inspector General office and file a mail fraud report.
