How in the world….
How in the world, with all the people writing they got scammed, is this “company” still allowed to advertise online? Where are the safeguards? The U.S. gvnt can track a mouse that comes off a ship, a dollar earned but not declared, but the internet scammers who blatantly take us are free to fleece? Even if they change names, tracking their base of operations, IT address, and more sophisticated ways we know exist, can’t be difficult once alerted, and then permanently block any and all that trace back to these crooks. Yes, I ordered, paid, was notified it was delivered (it wasn’t), sent an email to that effect, told to look around (I only have a p.o. address as no home delivery in my small town), postmaster had no such delivery (he logs all pkgs), sent many emails, promised refund, have now written it off. Less than $50 but wonder if I can trust online buying, or must I stick to only Amazon?Another purchase ordered from a “store” closing in Seattle. Terrible products vs pics. Offered refund if returned to China where produced. I ordered from a U.S. address. Who cares where it’s made? Finally settled for 75% refund on an order totaling 3 figures. Just another type of scam—wear you down until you settle & they pocket 25 cents on the dollar. Easy money. How can we protect ourselves? Stores keep closing, forced to buy online, so the choice is….what? Again, where are the watchdogs? Where are the red flags? Who’s monitoring these thieves? I no longer order products sold in multiples to “save” money because they keep coming, keep charging, until I have to cancel my credit card at great inconvenience. I never agreed to keep receiving until notifying to cancel—I ordered once only, checked the fine print, but if they say I did and offer their bogus proof, I’m stuck for another month or more (billing cycles, you know). And the product supposed to help your heart, your wrinkles, your everything? Ingredients are hocus pocus mixed with glucose. And it’s rampant. Trust nothing. Then what? Where to get “new and improved” if only sold online? I need new living room chairs. I would like to sit on them first to determine comfort. The furniture store doesn’t exist. Order and can return. That hassle? And if damaged, then what? Wait weeks for pickup & weeks to replace. In the interim, sit on the floor. It’s Seller’s heaven and Buyer’s hell. It’s no-win for us. We’re not consumers—we’re sitting ducks.
