Scam Description
SERCHING FOR LAWN EQUIPMENT FONUD WHAT I NEEDED FOR $19.00 SO I ORDERED IT, THEN I TRIED TO CONTACT THEM BY PHONE RECORDING CAME ON THAT SAID ” I’M SORRY BUT THE NUMBER YOUR TRYING TO DIAL IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE OR HAS BEEN DISCONECTED”
TRIED EMAIL WITH STILL NO REPLY. THIS SO-CALLED COMPANY AS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE ONLINE HELP, SO THEN THE RED FLAG WENT UP AND I CONTACTED PAYPAL AND TRIED TO STOP THE PROCESSING IT WAS TOO LATE TO STOP IT SO THEY INVESTIGATED THE REPORT OF FRAUD AND REFUNDED MY $19.00
THEY USE WEBSITE TO LOOK LIKE YOU’RE GETTING THE BEST DEAL ON SHOPPING SERCHES FOR ITEM YOU WANT THEY OFFER FREE SHIPPING AND NO TAXES FEE, THAT SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME MY FIRST CLUE BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE A SUPPER DEAL SO I JUMPED ON IT WITHOUT THINKING IT THROUGH. OK THATS MY STORY PLEASE INVESTIGATE THEM THANKS.
