Scam Description
I purchased a solar generator and panel. What I received was a pair of counterfeit Ray Bans sunglasses. When I contacted the merchant I was told via email that I would have to return the item and be responsible for paying customs fees and postage. I believe that this was a bait and switch scam. Showing one item but then sending something of lesser value hoping the customer will get frustrated and give up on sending the wrong item back.
