Scam site in my conclusion works with facebook seller and 2nd day after "purchase" i got this email from shipping company:
"DEAR CUSTOMER

After reading this email i figured it must be a scam. Contacted seller on his Google number ( which is a perfect tool for scammers enabled by google) and he insisted that i pay or they will not deliver package. Its like normal for this type of shipment.
I told him to take his package back and send me full refund.
Tracking number is X out due to my privacy informations.

Type of a scam Online Purchase
A month has gone by since placing the order with no response and obviously no delivery. I filed a claim for the nominal charges with my credit card, no problem. This a typical scam from a site in China that uses a shady email address and pretend that Americans are corresponding with you evident from the awkward English and the prices on their site are too good to be true ie $400+ big brand sleeping bags for $99. Avoid Avoid!
The website posted the company's address as:
1208 Lindenwood Dr
Panama City FL, United States (US)
32405
According to google maps, this address belongs to a shady house in the middle of no where.

On 08/27 the following email was received.
Dear client, your package will be shipped on Monday 9am. We are very sorry for the late response.
Kind regards,
Premiumthcconcentrates.
On 08/29 email received.
Dear Sir/madam,
We just wanted to inform you that your package has being shipped, order #2379. please below is your tracking details for your package
Tracking link: https://tropicalshipping.ga/track-form/
Tracking Number: TR091750082924-CARGO
kind Regards,
Premiumthcconcentrates.
There courier also has there own website at https://tropicalshipping.ga/ and a phone# +1 (323) 484-3197
A little later I recieved another email this time from a Thomas Ray unlike the first one which was under premiumthcconcentrates. This one said the same thing but had a different order #
Dear Sir
We just wanted to inform you that your package has being shipped, order #2939. please below is your tracking details for your package
Tracking link: https://tropicalshipping.ga/track-form/
Tracking Number: TR091750082924-CARGO
kind Regards.
On that same day 08/29 email was received from Tropical informing that pkg with tracking (TR091750082924-CARGO) registered by Newsome Jr Ronnie to be delivered to you has successfully reached the city of Los Angeles, CA and is now at one of our sort facilities (CLAWX005). Following our insurance policy on shipments via our service, we require all packages being shipped via our service with declared values of $100 and above to carry an insurance fee to take care of eventualities during transit. An additional $418.
The extortion comes in when they state that this fee also makes sure it gets there "safely" without being checked by customs. In addition they required 3 custom restriction stamps so that it can be discharged from our facility because it was registered as a discreet package. By acquiring these custom restriction stamps, your package will not have to go through the custom inspector service checks since it was shipped as discreet otherwise your package will be scanned and the content will become known.
There is no customs for domestic shipping only international shipping. For all I know this could have come from China but that would take longer than 2 or 3 days.I was told it would be shipped from there dispensary in San Diego which doesnt exist and there not licensed.
Each restriction Stamp costs: $95.25USD
Three stamps will cost $95.25*3…… $285.75
Insurance…………………………………………. $300.18
Subtotal Payable: $685.93
Total Refund: $685.93
Amount in words: Six Hundred and Eighty-Five Dollars, Ninety-Three Cents.
Please Kindly note that this fee is FULLY REFUNDABLE by CHECK upon delivery of your package by our agents (Mr. Terry ken and Mrs. Stacy Croft) at your address. All payments made for shipping (freight) cover only for cost of transit of your package. please find full details on the attachments. The invoice gives a name registered under Newsome Jr Ronnie
First of all this was supposed to be domestic shipping from San Diego so why is it going to Los Angeles?
When I brought this up to them on there chat they feigned no knowledge of this arrangement with there courier who according to there website they have a long term contract with.They also repeated the extortion theme stated that if the shipping fee is not paid they will hand over to customs who will open the pkg.I told them that I had been told earlier that they use DHL or USPS. They said they did not use DHL and instead chose to use Tropical because DHL "insisted" on opening the pkg which is incorrect because I called DHL and was told that opening discrete pkgs for no reason was not there policy. I asked why they don't list there address and was told because of "cops". So than told me that they would agree to do a 60/40 split but I would have to pay them back the 40% once I received the pkg and was refunded. I told them to cancel the order and return but they said the courier is still demanding the insurance payment.They threatened We will contact them now to handover to the authority. Have a nice day. Be ready to face the consequences. I asked them why the courier did not show a st address on there website and was told that it was under reconstruction that's why their full address is not yet included. They said it was there a month ago when they used them. The google map on tropical website shows 7848 Silverton Ave San Diego. I asked them if they can verify the address and was told only the person who registered the pkg Mr Newsome Jr Ronnie can verify it.I asked to speak to a supervisor and was given a name Starlon White and an email address [email protected]. A person responded and asked me to tell what happened. I replied back that since you are the supervisor for Thomas Ray you should know exactly what happened.He responded back again with the same thing please tell me the story. I responded back again and demanded to know what his position is. He replied that he was the "owner" of premiumthcconcentrates.I did send him a copy of "what happened" requesting a refund and now they are stating they will give me a refund of the $392 but they still made good money. Also was told he can only be reached on the WhatsApp button. So on that day 08/30 I moneygrammed $411.The next day on the chat they informed me that there finance dept had refused to pay the 40% and I would need to complete the balance.
The courier got there timestamps messed up b/c one email showing 08/29/2022 8:57 AM stated pkg has cleared customs and is now In Transit.But another email dated 8/29/2022 1:31 PM states has now cleared customs and is now Pending. But the email asking for more money was time stamped 1:45pm. So supposedly after the pkg was shipped from Los Angeles it was still in customs.Bringing this up to premium they said they wanted to handover your package to customs but we pleaded.
The next day email from courier stated pkg cleared customs and was still pending. So I got back on there chat board and was told that there finance
dept refused to pay and I must pay the remaining balance. I brought to there attention on there shipping policy from there website that extra fees are only for international shipping and this was domestic. The response was Our website need to be updated if you saw this there.Again I was extorted stating "If the cop's get to know what's in your package then you are finish". Notice finish not spelled correctly.Reads like a foreigner.There are other instances where it reads like a foreigner. So I moneygrammed the remaining balance of $276 on 8/31. On 09/01 received email from courier with an attachment of the so called refund agreement.
The undersigned acknowledges that the total Sum of Six Hundred and Eighty-Five Dollars, Ninety-Three Cents. ($685.93) was paid in full by Autumn Rains, assisting Vince Blumberg on 31/08/2022 for the following: Refundable fee for Insurance and Restriction Stamps.
Received By: Mookie Amaryah
Signature: stating that upon delivery show this to them and will be given a check for $385.93. This document had two names on it. Received By:Mookie Amaryah Signature:Terry Wheelbarger.
Than I received two emails from Tropical stating:
Dear client,
Thanks once more for using our service. We are sorry for the delay but there is a situation with your package. We wish to let you know that we are presently in HOUSTON, TX at the City Permit Board where we have been held by the City Permit Officers because your package does not have a valid City Permit Document that permits to be transported to your home address immediately after discharge from our facility. You are hereby reminded that this fee is an unforeseen fee which therefore calls for a refund in conformity with our company policy. It's our company policy that all unforeseen charges or fees paid by any of our clients is fully refunded upon delivery. So, the $2,154.10 you are required to pay for the city permit document of this package will be refunded to you in full by our courier agents (Mr. Terry ken and Mrs. Stacy Croft) once they arrive at your address with your package.
The question is why was it not shipped directly? First Los Angeles now Houston. What does Houston have to do with it? And I'm being told that the city of Houston requires pkg's have a city permit document from there so called city permit board? They have a city permit center but no dept having to do with the mail.
The 2nd email was basically a rehash of the previous tactic sucessfully tried before on me:
Dear client,
We are very sorry for all the inconveniences. We just wanted to remind you that your package is at the city Permit center in Houston and your are required to complete your payment. We just received $1000 from Autumn Rains and it's remaining $1154.10. You are required to complete the balance. This fee will be refunded in full by our agents Mr Terry Ken and Mrs Stacy Croft once they arrive at your address with your package.
Kind regards,
Tropical Shipping.
At this point premium sent me a couple messages one asking if we can "sort this out" and the last one saying we would like to "talk" to you and also a message stating that the "owner" want to give you a refund for the $392. So first I dealt with Thomas Ray who said that the minimum they can wire me per there bank is $500 and to wire them an additional $108 which I did. Than he changes his tune again and says that the min to wire me a refund is $700. At this point I requested to contact his supervisor. So I started a line of communication with the "owner" Starlon White to request a refund.He asked me to explain what happened which I did even though he is supposedly Michael Rays supervisor so he would already know that. Please go through the emails with Starlon White to flesh out the details of this account. I was advised by both Premium and Tropical that this shipping insurance was for $5000 and that I could collect it and an "advocate" i.e lawyer would contact me. On my request for the $392 refund for the order itself Starlon stated that there bank had a minimum transaction limit of $650 and that I had to send another $150 to his manager in Africa and than they would wire my bank account $650. I than moneygrammed the $150 telling him this was the last time. I than received email stating that the shipping company wanted to compensate me the $5000 insurance and they needed $200 for the "advocate" to facilitate that. Starlon than personally sent them $200. He said my total refund from Premium was $450 and now need to send another $200 because of there $650 wire minimum. The buck stopped there and I gave some major pushback. Please see email under"owner"5. The grand ending to all this is when the "lawyer" "advocate" emails me stating they received the $200 from Starlon but now need another $200. See emails under advocate.I told them there all a bunch of scammers. By the way Starlon. did indicate that he would be going to the UK for a long time. See the email. I wonder why? The end.
My subsequent research has dug up the following information. I looked up the domains on Whois.com. On Premium some red flags are they have only had this domain since 2019 common among fraud sites.They claim they have a dispensary in San Diego. Per google search the address is either an apt complex or a hair salon not in CA as they say they are but in Phoenix Az. 1928 E. Highland Ave. Ste F104. There identity is being hidden through Privacyguardian.org. The registrar is NameSilo,LLC. I first sent a domain abuse form to them and they responded with a form letter stating issues that have nothing to do with this fraud issue In there first sentence it says “cannot validate or control the content posted on the site”. Than they mention things like trademark infringement, or copywrite infringement which this has nothing to do with. I replied back with Hello,
But you are the domain registrar which mean that you do have the power to unregister remove , deplatform, this domain. So they are giving me the runaround. Next thing I did was go to privacyguardian.org submitted a demand for the owners identity and location which would be passed on to the owner and a separate domain abuse report. Have not heard back anything.And my repeated requests to NameSilo to remove there domain meets with the same canned response letter that they've already sent me multiple times. At a miniumum I just want this site shut down. The following message was sent to the owner of Premiums domain via privateguardian.org.
I am hereby requesting your identity and location information so as to report and prosecute your criminal activity to all available investigation agencies. You are not an apt complex nor a hair salon. Privacy Guardian has been informed of your criminal activity. You are hereby duly warned and the company that you have stolen there domain from for the purpose of using as your "designated" shipping courier has also been notified. Have a good nite.
I did the same research for Tropical Shipping at domain https://tropicalshipping.ga/ and found there shipping courier calls itself Tropical Shipping based in San Diego CA This website has a google map on it with an address of 7848 Silverton Ave a, San Diego, CA 92126 which shows as in the Silverton Business Center but the domain name doesnt pull up for https://tropicalshipping.ga/. But it does pull up when I replace the .ga at the end with .com showing location Riviera Beach Fl. Tropical Shipping Lines. A google visual shows a business district which shows as in the Silverton Business Center. This company seems legit because they've had this domain since 1996, The website look legit. They are tourist operators, and they don't hide there identity information. They give two emails one of which give an administrative contact Hall, Rick [email protected]. I sent emails to both duly warning them that there domain is being hijacked,stolen, impersonated by a fraud scam. I also mentioned this to NameSilo in my report and also Network Solutions LLC who is the domain registrant for Tropical. I told them that Premium is using Tropicals domain to rip people off. Remember that https://tropicalshipping.ga/ is not on Whois.com so it is a non registered domain but https://tropicalshipping.com does pull up a registered domain. I called Tropical and Rick Hall gave me a call back and he is going to get there company's lawyer on this for infringement. He told me the .ga at the end stands for Gabon the country in Africa even though I had been sending the money to Cameroon. He totally agrees with me about fraudsters sullying there companys reputation doing scams under there name.
Here is are the contents of the email that I sent to Tropical.
I have a very serious matter to bring to your attention regarding a shipping website impersonating your company to scam people. https://tropicalshipping.ga. Using the Whois.com website domain search does not pull that up but when you remove the .ga it pulls up another company in a different state and it had your email address on it as well. . This is the scammers shipping courier Premium has set up to defraud there victims. The other domain that scammed me is https://premiumthcconcentrates.com which also pulls up on whois.com. It shows that you have been registered since 1996 which makes it appear more legit than premium which registered its domain recently in 2019 which is a red flag.
I just got scammed $1100 by this website. They claim they have a dispensary in San Diego. The address is either an apt complex or a hair salon not in CA as they say they are but in Phoenix Az. 1928 E. Highland Ave. Ste F104. There shipping courier calls itself Tropical Shipping based in San Diego CA but the domain name doesnt pull up at https://tropicalshipping.ga/. When I remove the .ga I do get Tropical Shipping in Riviera Beach Fl. This website has a google map on it with an address of 7848 Silverton Ave a, San Diego, CA 92126 which shows as in the Silverton Business Center. A google visual shows a business district.
1) This website is scamming people. How do we get this torn down?
2) The shipping courier is impersonating another company in another state. How do we get this torn down as well?
I have received a threatening email from [email protected]. The Whois.com site is showing the email I sent this to dns@ tropical.com as well as another email for a person named Rick Hall as the Administrative Contact i.e [email protected]. I have also sent an email to this person as well. This is a serious matter please respond asap. I have never received a response. Does this Rick Hall work for this company or is this name fictional?
Thank you.

I happen to check my tracking and it had been stuck now in my City's distribution center, did not say it was out for delivery yet. I continued to keep checking and I noticed it said it had been delivered. Went outside, no where to be found.
Customer service is a joke, I spoke to a Lily a few times, she apologized and said they would send me another one. I asked for tracking information and she has not returned any of my emails since Sept. 7th. That was the last day I ever heard from them. It's now September 23rd. I have emailed customer service several times demanding my money back and no one is responding. I emailed the owner and no response. They literally took my money and ran with it.
Do not buy from these people cause this isn't a real business.
