Scam Description
This website is selling counterfeit water filters for brand name refrigerators. I provided an image of the authentic filter I am replacing next to the counterfeit one. The counterfeit filter does not have the serial number printed on the outside of the filter. I should have known this would be the case as payment was required through PayPal and was being sent to someone overseas. The From address printed on the USPS label leads me back to some storage unit in NJ, even though the business address on their website says they’re based out of TX.
