Scam Description
Let me start out here, this is completely my mistake for ever doing business with this company. I am trying to get into reloading as a beginner and found this website as a good location to get started. I was stupid to even do these purchases online. I should have known better.
With that, here we go.
Website: www.*************
Address online says 4929 Calico Drive, Santa Rosa, CA 94923 – Found out not real.
Phone number – 1-707-346-4581 – It goes to an online phone line answered by an east indian or hispanic guy.
I put my order in on September 1st, 2022
Payment: Through Venmo (Yes, I am an idiot) – $162.00 to a Jose Raya @ Leanintrees.
Then I received an email from a website called UPS Premium asking for $100 for Insurance for this shipment. Once again, I paid $100 to Jose Raya @ Leanintrees through Venmo (Yes, I am an idiot)
This was ALL on 9/1/22. I received an email from UPS Premium website that the shipment left on 9/6/22 from the warehouse. They gave me a UPS Premium “Tracking number” that never worked. I went ahead an gave it some time before calling them back today on 9/14/22.
I called the (707) number today and they texted me a www.upspremium.com/track-form/ link which looks to be fabricated from looking at the website that it took me to. I entered the Tracking number and amazingly it came up but could only give me general “enroute” information.
Shipment still MIA. Total scammed: $262.00. Plus having our bank cards closed and getting new ones sent to us now.
DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE!
