Scam Description
The product was a plastic box that emits a high pitch to train or stop dogs from attacking you.  I ordered one for $34.95, and immediately they charged me for two.  I immediately emailed that I only wanted one, but that went nowhere.  I found a phone number and it hung up after one ring; tried again and “cannot be completed”.  Almost as quickly my phone rang with a fraud alert message from my credit card company.  I called then, but since I had ordered it, they wouldn’t dispute it for 15 days to see if the product came.   (Even though I argued that they charged me for 2 when I ordered one; and for some reason their fraud alert division must have known there was a problem with this company.)
A second email came in to “verify your email” when they had already sent me an email.  (Felt defrauded the minute I did that.)  Later, they sent an email saying that DHL was shipping and gave me a tracking number.  I clicked on it and it said “No order found.”  (Another fraud signal.)  I waited 5 weeks and still no product.  Finally my credit card company disputed it.  But I keep getting their emails for lots more kinds of products!!
