Scam Description

Purchased items for Christmas gifts through an ad on Instagram. Made purchase and money was immediately taken when transaction was made. Email was sent from scammer after this to say shipping information will be provided once sent. It’s been over a week and no email to say it’s been shipped or tracking number. I’ve sent emails requesting to cancel order and to get a refund since I haven’t received anything and I don’t believe this is a legit site anymore. So far no one has responded to the emails, haven’t received items purchased nor received refund for purchase items.
