Scam Description
Primydeal.com Best Buy/Coscto
Best Buy Outlet scam. It shows multiple products at a wholesale price and gives updates on how many are left in real time. They have USPS and 17Track create shipping labels so you get the updates that your item or items have been shipped when there are no items. They are based in China but use American addresses.
The biller was under Trendee LLC under the name Yuhui Lin in Portland Oregon Yuhui Lin is located at 555 Southeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard Suite 105, Portland, OR 97214. The company’s principal address is 555 Southeast Martin Luther King Junior Blvd Suite 105, Portland, OR 97214 and its mailing address is 8455 Sw Cedarcrest St, Tigard, OR 97223.
It looks legitimate initially however when you go back to the website it disappears and or changes to another store. The scam went from Best Buy to Costco.
One of the emails came from the infamous noreply@zhcartapps.com which has been posted on various red flag sites as a scam company.
I did get emails saying my merchandise is on the way from bdkbyskb@gmail.com and I emailed them back to cancel and got a response saying they are giving me a refund in 24 to 48 hours. So far I do not believe them.
They will say it takes 15-25 days to get your items but you never will.
