Scam Description
I used Google shopping to locate an item to purchase at the best price. Magicmenia or Magicmeniaelia gave a reasonable price, but not the lowest, but promised quick shipping. On July 5, I used PayPal to pay. I received an email on July 8 stating the company would wait until my payment was approved through paypal, and would process the order and ship. On July 9 I got an email with the tracking number. On July 11, I got an email saying my payment was accepted, and the order was processing. Weird already. Two weeks later, I checked the tracking number to see the status and the status showed delivered July 9 and signed for. The signer was not me or anyone on my street. I checked with the seller’s website and it said the order was processing. I emailed the company through their website but never received a response. I called their number but it is not in service. On July 31 I opened a claim with PayPal. It took 6 weeks to get refunded because the seller would not respond to me, and gave Paypal the same bogus tracking number. I emailed them at an email address that paypal provided to me, but the company still did not respond. I had to prove that the tracking number was bogus.
