Ursime is yet another fake Chinese company that takes your money and loses your items. They use a fake tracking system that tells you nothing. No matter how many time you write to them, they will just stop responding after a while. I paid for more expensive express shipping and they lost my package and its been over 34 days now. Speed pack from China is express delivery and it should only take 2.5 weeks at most. If you do get your items they are fake replicas of what is advertised online and it looks terrible. The fabric is different and nothing is authentic. The bohemian clothing that is hand embowered is just a print, thin and flimsy. I had to file a complaint with my bank to get my money back. They completely Lie on the clothing descriptions and give you fake items or lose it in the mail and try to keep your money. Rosegal was the original business that was pulling this scam. I think its them with just a different name. They have several companies that have the exact same clothing items pretending to be from Germany and other countries. Ursime has several people on youtube reviewing their clothing. They only say nice things because they got the items for free. You can clearly see it is a cheap replica and doesn't fit good,.

Ordered a custom bracelet from Wear Felicity ads on instagram months ago. Have contacted their support team a dozen times to get a refund because the thing never shipped. They keep telling me they're behind and it's coming and they don't give refunds. That is internet robbery and they should be shut down.

Company said they were sending a size 9 pair of boots to me. They sent a size 8-8.5. When I asked them to correct their mistake, they refused to send the correct size boots and offered a 20% refund. Their website says 100% customer satisfaction (not 20% customer satisfaction.)

On Facebook the person claimed to be going out of business and have crafters cabinets on sale for $49.99. They would notify the buyer in 4-7 business days of when the cabinet would arrive. The buyer would need to be available for the delivery because the cabinet would only be delivered to the street. I purchased 1 with my AmEx credit card. The next day they advertised the same cabinet for $29.99. I have made attempts to contact them through email, because I haven't received any notification of my purchase or of the delivery and it's been longer than 4-7 business days. The "company" has not responded to any emails. I've checked the comments and many people are also calling this a scam.

They say they are wholesaler that have great prices on apparel and the more you spend the better the discounts but than you get nothing from them (In some cases they ship cheap ring of some kind to some buyers) but then make all kinds of excuses and reasons not to return your money. I have heard from multiple so called customer service people saying a refund is coming but nothing happens and there is no phone to call.

I ordered a camera lens from here and right off the bat I was having issues checking out, and also their email address were not working due to a "server" issue, as the website chat said. I then contacted them again days later via chat after seeing on the PayPal transaction that they uploaded a FedEx tracking number that showed the package was delivered a day ago and received by someone that doesn't live here. They told me that FedEx had given them the wrong number and were fixing the issue, and that they'd provide me with the correct tracking number when received. There was also a strange email address on the PayPal transaction that was clearly outside of the US, despite the website claiming to be based in Illinois, so emailed that address as well. I then confronted them via the chat about the suspicious behavior, and they didn't respond until I informed them I would be taking action with PayPal and my credit company. They then requested that I cancel the PayPal claim and resubmit it since they "didn't receive nothing" and so they could refund me.

Upon further research, this website is very new (November 2022) and I can find no other reviews or interactions with this place at all. The domain holder is also anonymous, and was registered in Japan. Also, on the credit card transaction it says that the seller (which is under yet another name) is based in California. Interactions with the seller through the website chat, and the strange non-US email from the PayPal transaction are all in broken English with very sketchy phrasing and behavior. I still have not received my item, a refund, nor any actual tracking info. It's apparent this order never existed at all, and that this person and/or business is clearly a scam.

Advertised Clark’s boots on Facebook. 2 pair for $**. Took a long time to arrive and was sent from China. Finally did arrive yesterday and they looked as shown, but definitely NOT Clarks. These are extremely poor quality, cheap plastic, definitely not as advertised. Suspicious because #1 they are cheap, cheap shoes! #2 made in China, shipped to Illinois, and return address is Joe Doe 475 Supreme Dr Bensenville IL 60106.

DopeBoo.com has a very legit looking website operating fairly smoothly just like any other site. They offer up products and even work with a shipping program to help you keep track when they ship. I just ran across them during google search and they were one of the top results. They offered a product I couldn't find anywhere else, it was sold out else where, and for just a small mark up. I took advantage of my "lucky day" and now 6 business days later I am still waiting on said product. I attempted to reach out to them via phone, and listed on their support page is the number (833)-399-0633. The next number listed on their site when you go to another page is 832-426-3658...that's a Houston area code, but regardless what number I find NONE of them work. The "chat" bot for support on the site is non-operational as well.

After starting the process of disputing the transaction I do a google search for them to come across reviews from multiple people who have not received word or anything from customer service. Those that do reach them have to spend weeks running around and still end up having to dispute it on their credit cards. When going to their site you can go to the shipping page and notice it hasn't been updated since 2021. They are a VERY WELL looking scam company. I don't care what y'all do as in punishment, but if you can at least take the site down so people stop ordering from them I think would be best. I don't know how these things work but they are just taking money at this point and not shipping anything.

The website shows deals on retro computer games and sells the downloads. The confirmation email after purchase links to the download but instead of the software purchased there is a text file that details how the customer needs to follow new, different, and unverified links to get the software. The method used includes linking to a YouTube video that promises step by step instructions of how to get the retro video game.

Company had been advertising all over social media, so I placed an order and after 2 weeks of no update on my order, I reached out to the customer service to find the status of my order. I was then told that my order would be shipped out in a few days, and 3 weeks later, I reached out again requesting my order be cancelled and my account issued a refund. I was then told that they would ship it out "soon" and disregarded my request for a refund and cancelled order. I have still not received shipping/tracking information or a refund.

Here is the review I just posted for them, it explains my situation.

So my boyfriend tried to order an arrangement for me as a gift for my first day back to classes, paid for the expedited shipping and everything. I had NO idea about the gift (keep this in mind) I was told yesterday my "surprise" was coming. NOTHING. So he called and they said it was delayed until today before 6pm. It is 7:21pm as I am writing this. They did not give him a refund for the shipping costs first off. So today, again, nothing is delivered, BUT now it says "hand delivered" like what? I was home all day and nothing came? It wasn't anywhere outside. So my boyfriend calls multiple times and each time it is another excuse. First it is "our delivery driver is not answering" then its "this is a hard job sorry" and on and on and on like what? Keep in mind I still did not know what the gift was, and it was explained to the lady who THEN called me (my boyfriend was talking to her as well) that it was a surprise. SHE THEN CALLS ME AND ASKS ME IF IF I HAD GOTTEN ANY FLOWERS TODAY. Like, really? You can't believe the person who ordered from you? I got the surprise completely ruined, and ZERO flowers came to my house. My boyfriend is doing a chargeback as we speak. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. They literally don't know how to run a company. Let these bad reviews speak for themselves.

Product was market on Facebook with good reviews and pictures of the product. The product was a custom bracelet that has circle picture. There was an email was sent out for confirmation. After the confirmation, the email also said that were short staff and package will delayed. I sent an email after waiting for over a month with no confirmation of shipping. An email was sent back stating they were still short staff and the package will be sent on January 18 and email will be sent out for confirmation and tracking info. On the 18th, package was not sent and no email was sent to me for confirmation.

Two lights were bought from cleanlino.com. They products arrived visibly not functional, cheaply made, broken. After weeks of back and forth they sent me a return label via UPS - I sent the products back in their original packaging. They were received by Cleanlino November 11, 2022. They have not refunded my money or replied to any of my communication. They have disappeared. Searching for Cleanlino reviews online shows me that nearly everyone that has interacted with this company has been scammed.

unigrade.com purports to be an online electronics retailer however I've found many discrepancies that make them look very suspicious.

On this page they're offering a pre-order for a graphics card. Something that no other retailers are offering right now due to high demand and limited stock. How did this small no-name retailer secure enough stock to open pre orders? They're also offering the product for well under MSRP of $999.

Their About Us page is also suspicious. They give an office address but not a floor/room number. I looked up the address and it's an office building in Chicago. Their warehouse address, according to Google Street View, is a 1-story building that looks like a self-storage warehouse. Not at all the three-story warehouse on their website. Speaking of that photo, Google reverse image search shows that they got it from sonicelectronix.com. They just flipped it and then cropped it to cover up the backwards text.

I signed up for an account on their website but after several hours I have not received a confirmation email to finish setting up my account.

Finding online reviews for this website is difficult. The following google search turned up no results:

"unigrade.com" site:reddit.com

I searched directly on reddit and was able to find two users talking about the site. They seem to do nothing but talk about unigrade and some other site called proxy-store. Very suspicious that they do nothing but shill for unigrade and proxy-store. Also they never refer to the websites as .com. Always "unigrade,com", "unigrade com", "unigrade;com". So that explains why "unigrade.com" didn't turn up any search results.

https://www.reddit.com/user/Rob_Back_Show/

https://www.reddit.com/user/Longjumping-Job8200/

So in conclusion, I've found nothing incriminating but a lot suspicious. Enough that I thought it was within my civic duty to report it to a higher authority.

I've attached screenshots in case their website gets taken down sometime between now and when this case is reviewed.

I searched for a florist in Francestown, NH. What came up was the Blossom Florist indicating they were from Francestown, NH. Apparently they are not located there - Blossom comes up for any town/state you input.

The arrangement delivered was totally different than what was ordered. After many conversations with the company with no resolution, I went to my credit card and was reimbursed for the costs. I'm listing this since I wouldn't want other individuals to be so disappointed.

I'm fairly good at determining a scam site, but this one looked legit. The wesbite looks amazing compared to others! The phone number provided was from NY so I thought it was a company in the USA. I went ahead and ordered a pair of boots for Christmas. Immediatly got a receipt from my paypal coming from a company called "Smart Vaccuum Sealer". I emailed immediatly after seeing this the company and never heard a response. Thought I was scammed. 1 month later I got my boots and thought "phew.. alls good". Boots came from China and had a nasty smell to them. AND they didn't fit so i went back online to start the return process. That's where I was scammed. I never heard back from anyone regarding how to return, even though their website said I should hear back within a day or two. I tried 3x and called the number which went straight to voicemail. I left a voicemail and emailed for the return multiple times and no one ever got back to me. So now I'm stuck with stinky boots that I won't wear. Everything about this company seems legit, and I'm thankful I guess that I even GOT a product but once you get your product you better like it because you're stuck with it! BEWARE!
