It was advertised using the JCP which I think was to lead you to think it was a well known store with the same letters. I know people that had the same experience using the letters KOHLS which are also the same letters in another well known store. They give you a tracking number It shows tracking and delivery but of course it is not delivered this is the same thing that has happened with others who have ordered from the JCP which I used and someone I know used the KOHLS with the same results. I have contacted them and was told I will get a refund. I really don't think that will happen. I know there are a lot of people out there with the same complaint I see it all the time on facebook feed. I just hope no one else falls for this Thank you

From a Google search on 12 June 2023, I found a website (taurusG3C.com) that advertised accessories for the Taurus G3C handgun. The site provided several methods for submitting payment, with the most expeditious being a Zelle cash transfer to a person, Julia Kelly, identified as an assistant and Sales Team member. I submitted my order (# 33280)for a conversion kit and sent payment to Ms. Kelly ([email protected]) from my credit union via Zelle on July 12, 2023. I received an invoice in an email confirming receipt of my payment from Ms. Kelly. Her email stated that my order would be shipped “in a moment” and contained a phone number (925-890-1175) in her signature block. Note, there is no other contact info for the website other than the email address, [email protected]. After several attempts via email and the website’s chat option, I received no response to my inquiries about my order. I finally called Ms. Kelly’s number on 19 July 2023. She returned my call on the same day. She informed me that she was hired to take payment from the website’s customers. She could or would not identify to whom she specifically sent payments, to include my own which she had already sent to someone. However, she stated that she had quit as an employee recently after receiving many complaints from customers who did not receive items ordered via TaurusG3C.com. She had not been paid consistently on time and she implied that the website and its selling of TaurusG3C accessories may not be legitimate. I attempted several more times to contact someone via the site’s chat option. No one enters the chat session. As of today, July 7, 2023, I have not received the item ordered. I have heard nothing from whomever is operating TaurusG3C.com. I have not received a refund of my payment.

I made a purchase of an item I saw being advertised in Pinterest on 6/19/23. The product being advertised was an (electric Stair Climbing Tracked Transporter) The merchant advertising the product was Vauglh. At first it said they accepted PayPal but when I wanted to use PayPal, It did not give me the option to use it. Instead I used a credit card seeing that it was a low dollar amount purchase. Once the purchase was made and credit card charged, I received a confirmation email of the invoice with receipt of the order. A week went by and no shipment details were sent, so I reached out to the merchant on the email they provided on the invoice. I heard from them on 6/23/23 that the product was being shipped and a carrier and tracking number was provided. This is when I realized, the order was coming from China which led me to believe this was a fraudulent person using a phishing scam masquerading as a British store using Pinterest to lure potential scam victims. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and waited until the product was delivered. I went to my town Post Office to pick up the item once it showed delivered. What I received was a small plastic envelope package and after opening it, revealed a small little girls purse with the face of a cat..

Ordered a two basket/two tiered collapsible shopping cart for $38.97 from a Morrstan ad on Facebook. Instead of sending the cart, they sent a 1-inch x 3-inch toy truck. I have disputed the charge with my credit card company and now Morrstan is questioning my dispute.

I came across a Facebook ad indicating a sale for HeyDude shoes. As soon as I placed the order, I realized my mistake and sent a direct email to the contact listed, attempting to cancel the order. The email was answered immediately and asked for my order # and email. I replied and heard nothing back for several days and AFTER the order supposedly shipped. I also had been charged for something within the same purchase for *amazon kids*. I canceled my debit card and called my bank to file a fraud claim. I followed the tracking as it was provided to me. It traveled from China to CA and was supposedly attempted to be delivered somewhere in CA, but was undeliverable. I live on the other side of the US, in PA. The website originally used for the purchase is also no longer what it was.

Ordered Yeezys online. Tried to pay with Klarna and it said something happened and it automatically took the full payment out through PayPal. Never shipped the item. Tried to contact them in every way possible. Finally got a response on a different email saying there was a problem with processing and I could apply for a refund. The refund email is invalid. The messaging system or phone number does not work. They will not contact me back and it’s been 2 weeks. All contacts to the company are invalid.

Ordered 2 Stanley cups on 19Apr2023 and never received them. Attempted to contact the company by email and they responded saying they are looking into the matter. Emailed again and again and no response. Tracking info said it was delivered to another address in PA, not mine.

Facebook ad for Hey Dude. Clicked it and website looked like Hey Dude. Ordered items and confirmation email was sent with [email protected] in the from box. Seemed odd so I looked into it. Says it’s a known scam. My credit card was already charged.

When ordered for 1 product, they charged for mutiples (like 5). When called back, they offer partial discounts trying to scam customers. I ended up have to cancel my credit card and to report the scam to BOA (my credit card bank) to trying getting back the funds.

I placed a pre-order for Funko Pops initially for $63.98 back in May of 2022. After a few months, I got an email my original order wasn't going to be able to be filled anytime soon. So I had them reallocate the funds to a new order, and paid the difference of $21. Since it was a pre-order, there was no definitive shipping timeline. However, their policy stated if it's not shipped, you can get your money back. April 5th of this year, 2023, they announced they're closing their doors. Never responded to emails even though they said they would within 30 days. At this point I'm struggling to get my money back. I opened a claim with the ScamPulse.com and they were unable to get ahold of the company via USPS mail. This CEO needs to be held accountable and refund all of the money they owe their customers!

Hello. I was scammed. I saw a promotion about the foldable treadmill on this website "Fitness Global Pavilion". It said that the treadmill cost $109.99 but there were a deal sale of $39.99. Unfortunately, I paid $49.98 ( $39.99 for the treadmill and $9.99 for shipping) in total and plus $1.50 that they took after from my bank account but don't know for what. So in total they own me $51.48.

I waited to see if I receive the treadmill but in its place I received a scarf that I never purchased.

I found this video add on Pinterest for this VW wagon stroller on clearance. Went to the site, looked legit and purchased the olive green VW wagon stroller. Received confirmation email and everything. Emailed several times about delivery updates and typically had a fast response. Instead of the wagon I received a mini pack with a tracking number that matched the supposed wagon. Upon questioning with the company and a threat of report to BBB, they asked for photo proof of what I had received and said they would contact the warehouse to solve the problem. And I have yet to hear back. I have provided the email and pictures of what I received instead

Placed online order for two kits. Never received them. One kit was unavailable everywhere else because it was discontinued. That may be how their bait to get people to buy kits that are hard to find. Five weeks after ordering I tried to call the number I found for them online (not on their website) and the number was disconnected. They are also doing business under another named website, https://militarymodeldepot.com/ It has the exact same products and prices and both websites are based in South Canaan, PA.

THIS COMPANY WORKS THROUGH AMAZON.COM. I WASNT PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION (THEY "STRAX.COM") AS THEY REDIRECTED ME TO THEIR SITE. I BOUGHT A WIRELESS CHARGER (BROKEN - DIDNT WORK), I ALSO BOUGHT A PAIR OF EARPHONES (WIRED) AND THEIR QUALITY WAS POOR TO VERY POOR. AND ANOTHER THING I ORDERED WAS A TRIPOD (PHONE / CAMERA STAND-UP DEVICE - I DIDNT EVEN OPEN IT).

I ASKED STRAX.COM TO GIVE ME A REFUND AND RETURN SHIPPING. NO ANSWER. GHOSTING ME. ALSO, WHEN THE PACKAGE ARRIVED, THEIR WAS NO BUBBLE WRAP OR ANY KIND OF PAPER TO KEEP THE ITEMS FROM DAMAGE.

THESE PEOPLE DONT CARE ABOUT QUALITY AND THEY DONT CARE ABOUT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE - THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY. I CALLED THEM ON THEIR GERMANY NUMBER WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE NOT TAKING CALLS - NO RING - NO VOICEMAIL TO LEAVE A MESSAGE - NOTHING : 011 - 4902241951270

ANYONE THAT PLANS TO BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY BE WARNED, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU.

Around 5/11/2023 I attempted to purchase two Stanley cup, but it appears that the website was fake, as it is now done. I placed an order for 2 Stanley cups & have not received them. The tracking information provided also is fake. I requested for my money back, but to date, have not received it.

I'm not sure what Country the scammer is from.

I ordered from this company 2 st. Michael neclaces for $45.98 on March 13. Was told 2 to 8 weeks. Would notify when shipped. Never got notified when shipped. To this day never received. Will not respond to numerous emails I sent. Has an unsecured website and there is no other way to contact them. Credit card company won't take charges off because they were told I received merchandise. A bogus lie. I believe this is a scam company.

I was told that I can receive ligh bulb camera. I would only have to pay shipping. This was placed with a credit card for $7.97. Few days later a charge from the same order was put on my credit card for $82.11. Still have not received the product. I will be calling my bank in a few minutes to stop payment. I try calling them and I keep getting disconnected.
