Scam Description
ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 I WENT TO THE INTERNET TO SHOP FOR A CAR BATTERY. I FOUND ONE WITH A GOOD PRICE AT THIS COMPANY CALLED NORTHERREMEDIA. ON THEIR SITE THEY SHOWED NICE PRODUCTS AND OFFERED FREE SHIPPING. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PURCHASE MY ITEM, I WENT THROUGH MY PAY PAL ACT FOR THIS TRANSACTION. ONCE I MADE THE TRANSACTION IT SHOWED UP AS A DONATION NOT A PURCHASE. THEN IT SHOWED THAT I WAS NOT CHARGED ANY TAX FOR MY PURCHASE. NEXT, I SEE THAT THE COMPANY NAME IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ONE ONLINE. INSTEAD, IT WENT TO SOMEONE NAMED KAZJ. ON MY PAY PAL RECEIPT IT SHOWS I HAVE A TRANSACTION ID NUMBER….. AND FOR THE PURPOSE IT STATES,” ALL ITEMS IN BASKET#………..”. DONATION TO KAZJ. DONATION AMOUNT $56.62(WHICH WAS THE LISTING PRICE BEFORE THE PURCHASE.
I HAVE CONTACTED THEM VIA EMAIL WITH NO RESPONSE NOR DID I EVER GET A RECEIPT OR CONFIRMATION VIA EMAIL. I DID LET THEM KNOW THAT I WOULD BE PURSUING AN INVESTIGATION AND FILING A CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT. IN ADDITION, I WILL SEE IF I CAN REPORT THEM TO GOOGLE, SO OTHERS WILL NOT BUY FROM THEM. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE AND THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED IF THEY THINK I AM JUST AN ATM MACHINE!!!
