Scam Description
I found what looked like a local silver spring, Maryland florist delivery and called to place the same day order. The man sounded Indian and barely spoke English. I ordered the “thinking of you fruit and gourmet basket for $104.23 and received an e-mail confirmation (#35408) and what looked like a receipt. Then I received an email saying they couldn’t deliver it because the delivery person wasn’t in the area i designated for the drop off and would refund my money. I then called again and an Indian woman said my card was declined which is not true as I called the bank and said it was pending. It’s all a scam as this has been happening to others as stated on the internet.
