Scam Description
I saw a Facebook ad for an advent calendar (company name used: “watermyself”). I placed an order for $49.99, received confirmation email that stated the order was placed and that the charge would appear as “Homagecust” on my statement. It also included a link to track the package or contact the merchant.
The charge was made immediately by HomageCust Hong Kong. The link just goes to a site that shows that package as delivered.
Product never showed up. They claim the product was delivered on November 24. Used their email tracker to tell them it never arrived – no response. They state their customer service is through “CustomerCare-VIP.com”. But of course there is no phone number and the complaint went unanswered.
Disputing with my bank now to hopefully get the money back
