Scam Description
ON 9/25/2022 THERE WAS A ONLINE SALE FOR SHOES AND BOOT VIA FACEBOOK. THE NAME OF THE STORE WAS FASHION ESSENTIALS. I PLACED AN ORDER FOR 4 PAIR OF SHOES WHICH TOTALED $38.50. I HAD BEEN TRACKING MY ORDER VIA TRACKING # SO THE DAY THE SHOES WERE TO ARRIVE IT WAS A SMALL BOX THAT HAD A FAKE RING INSIDE. SO I RECHECKED THE TRACKING# AGAIN TO BE SURE AND IT WAS THE SAME TRACKING # AS THE SHOES. I THEN TRIED TO CALL THE COMPANY, NO LUCK THERESO I SENT THEM AND EMAIL. THEY REPLIED THAT THEY WERE SORRY ABOUT THE MIX UP AND THEY COULD REFUND IN 7-10 DAYS OR SEND MY SHOES. I JUST WANTED MY REFUND. GOT AN EMAIL STATING THAT THEY REFUNDED MY MONEY ON 9/24/2022 WHICH WAS A LIE BECAUSE I PHURCHASED THE SHOES ON 9/25/2022 SO HOW WAS THAT HUMANLY POSSIABLE. I CALLED MY BANK TO MAKE SURE I DIDNT MISS ANYTHING AS I KNOW I DIDNT. I’AM STILL WAITING ON MY REFUND.
