Scam Description
Pop up on FB, spin and win a prize. states I won a free cold tumbler, just pay $.95 cents for shipping. Item never arrived. On my CC I was charged $9.95 and $49.95. I called the number listed and I was told I had signed up for sweepstakes entry. I have no idea what these other charges are, as I have not received anything. Total mistake. The person I spoke with stated they would refund $49.95 to my CC, but I haven’t seen it yet. The name of the Company, Hardware M is false. This company is also putting one on hold, “if you owe back taxes”…blah blah blah. I don’t know how many scam umbrellas they have going on, but do not buy into it.
