Type of a scam Online Purchase
To get your refund, is all you have to do: Call your bank to get your full refund, submit proof of purchase along with screen shots of testimonials like these.
You are absolutely not going to get a refund, or even a response, from Curvy Waves. They have NOT responded to their e-mails since before the pandemic. Before that time, their business practices were shady and suspect. If your bank requires further proof of the company's deceipt, then screenshot other reputable websites (like the Better Business Bureau) to show proof of Curvy Wave's con game. Again, most banks require proof of fraud. Screenshot and submit the reviews to your bank when you file your complaint (your individual bank may require different things from you, or nothing at all. It just depends on your bank's fraud policy).
Some twisted person is making thousands of dollars out of unassuming customers. Curvy Waves isn't a company - it's a scam site run by Shopify. I've already complained to them, and reported the scam to my bank (got a full refund, too).
Proof of the scam:
This fake company runs under the guise of a legitimate business. Look at the About Me section of the Curvy Waves website. It features a photograph of a beautiful woman beside a wholesome monologue with "girl power" tropes. If you do a "reverse image search" on the photo of the so-called founder, Melissa Aurora, you'll find that the site's web designer used an old stock photo of a Russian woman. The phone number has never worked, and several other fraudulent online point-of-sales use the same number on their webstores. Pretty Little Bikini, and an online shoe store, are ALL linked to the same disconnected phone number, they ALL use stock photos and fake "About Me" stories.
I went a step further, and did a reverse image search for ten or so of the bathing suits on CW's website. The images of the bathing suits originate from a myriad of places, most of which being defunct Russian online stores. I will not link them here, since the sites may contain viruses. I will post screenshots for you. Other sites that contained the same products include Ebay and Overstock. This proves that their product stock never actually belonged to this brand originally, which strengthens the notion that Melissa Aurora (the site's company owner/found) never existed.
These are some clever thieves.
I have filed a complaint with my bank, Shopify, and also with the BBB. I considered going to the FBI about this. Before I realized I was scammed, I sent the company several e-mails (no response, of course). I also tried calling the number, which was disconnected. They even blocked me on their Instagram page, so I made a new one and called them out further :)
There are complaints by the thousands on Instagram, Youtube, and online about this crooked site. I should have done my research before hand - but heck, the site looked so legitimate. Buyer beware, I guess.
Sorry that this happened to you, ladies. I hope my advice helped some.
Warm regards, Joanna
I’ve been waiting on 1 swimsuit since July! Im just curious if you have had luck going to your bank and getting THEM to issue a refund for your purchase?
I have not tried to yet. I guess part of me is still hoping I get my damn bathing suit!
Thank you for all of the info you shared!
I loved that damn bathing suit! I literally wore the thing 3 times!??
Anyway-glad to hear you liked yours as well. AND got it in time for Vacay!
I do lots of buying and selling on the internet, and this is the first time I have ever been stolen from. And that’s exactly what it is - THEFT. I paid through PayPal, so I’m checking that out next. By the way, the phone numbers are international numbers. If I remember correctly, there are other numbers in front of the ones they have published - a country number?
Email me at [email protected] if you have a moment - to let me know if anything came of your order and payment. Still, I am hoping to have a swimming suit - let me know how your story ends. Thanks!

DO NOT under any circumstances order from this company! They just take your money.
