Did internet search for a $100. photo scanner and was directed to Hototin website. Site looked US based with a US address in NJ also claimed to ship out next day. I ordered as a guest, and took screen shots of product, after immediately paying I was sent an invoice that was not the same information and seller was written in Chinese along with a description that may have been a Chinese item but not a scanner. I tried to go back to the website and cancel but now I had to sign in (originally ordered as a guest) and I wasn’t going to do that, nowhere could I enter the transaction number. I immediately notified Paypal saying I believe it was a scamming site. PayPal contacted seller and seller gave out a foreign tracking number and said it was being shipped. I finally received a single white pair of ankle socks. Start to finish was about 8 weeks. I was able to file a dispute with PayPal and will receive refund. I think because I had original screenshots this was why I succeeded as no proof of original sale showed up only false invoice.
