Victim Location95747 Total money lost$63 Type of a scamSweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
The company advertised a "free" giveaway for shoes on their instagram. I joined the giveaway, and a few days later was told that I won the giveaway. They messaged me directly on the Instagram app to notify me. They then told me that I would just have to pay for shipping cost which came out to be $63. I thought it sounded a little ridiculous, but I went through with it. I paid them through Paypal which they specifically requested. After paying them they told me that there was going to be an additional cost of $47 to get the shoes past customs. I immediately told them that I was fed up with them and that I wanted to get my money back. They tried to convince me that the transaction was legitimate, but I told them I wasn't interested any more. Once I made it clear that I wanted a refund they stopped responding to my messages on the Instagram app. It seems like their main scam are the the "free" giveaways on Instagram. However they may be scamming people on their website as well where they sell shoes at outrageous prices and only have paypal as their paymen option. I tried to attach more pictures of the conversation, but I wasn't able to. I do have the full conversation saved however.
