I straight up got scammed. One June 2nd I placed an order for a White Mountain ice cream machine with Bilemete. My credit card was charged $99.26 for the purchase. I received a confirmation immediately and have NOT received the item. This is the second time I have ordered something with my credit card and it is rerouted through PayPal, the money is taken out of my bank account and I never received the item. Do not trust Bilemente or PayPal there is no retribution.
Bilemete almost got us, we immediately called our bank as well as PayPal. PayPal tried to contact the seller as I did no results but we got our refund. Don't even browse this site as enticing as the prices are!
All the scam comments are true. I too, am a victim of this Chinese website. Probably where Hunter Biden is getting his $millions. The UPS tracking from its own website said it was delivered on my porch by UPS, But if you go to the UPS website the tracking number doesn't exist. The seller is fictitiously named Dana Hill- it is a fake name. Paypal is apparently involved with this scam, so for you Paypal users don't expect any help from them as they denied my claim. I went on Papal's website to ensure it was not a fake webpage. And my $98,96 purchase from Dana Hill was there. I will be closing that account too. My advice. Don't buy anything from China or a company that sells china products.
On 11 July 2021 I purchased a Siemens FS140 surge protector advertised for sale on the website Bilemete.com. I thought it a bit odd that a site selling trendy women's clothing would be selling such an item, but the price ($89.96) was too good to pass up. And besides, my purchase was protected by paypal. After I paid the $$ I never received an invoice or acknowledgement of the transaction. I also noticed next day that that item was no longer listed for sale on their website. Smelling a rat I tried contacting them only to find their phone not in service and all emails returned as undeliverable. I then filed a dispute with paypal. I never received a response from the seller, but, to my surprise, within 2 days paypal found in favor of Bilemete.com because they provided Paypal with "proof of delivery" via a USPS tracking number showing the item was delivered 15 July 2021. Never having received the item, I checked the USPS tracking site and found it did not list my actual street address, only that something had been delivered by USPS somewhere in my city on 15 July 2021. So back on the phone with paypal to appeal their decision. I spoke to an awesome rep & told him the story. He immediately contacted USPS and found that indeed a parcel HAD been delivered bearing that tracking number, but it was NOT delivered to MY street address! He explained what scammers sometimes do is get a tracking number off a 3rd party website showing a package was recently delivered in the target area (city & state) to give the appearance that the package had been delivered when in fact it had not. Cute little scam! When the paypal rep saw that he reversed their decision and said I would see a full refund, which I did receive. Bottom line: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. A great big THANK YOU to PAYPAL for getting my money back! And last but not least, if you're thinking about buying from "Bilemete.com", you might wish to give my experience serious consideration. CAVEAT EMPTOR!
Yes, it is a scam. The email address is phoney, so is the phone number, company address in Iowa too, and the name of the contact person is stolen from a former NFL player. I know this from personal experience and investigation.After purchasing through the fraudulent BILEMETE website.Later I noticed on my credit card account the payment was made to a Chinese named email.Pay to: guqiao1664urdw@163.com,Seller info: 南京瑞尔医药有限公司Purchase detailsHEATRE jhe89h74z1
