    Excellent information. Wish I saw this information a few weeks ago when I got two packages of clothing I did not order, but I did get my money back. Their address was an active parking lot. P. S. please talk a bit slower in your videos.

    I always recommend using the paypal app for any online shopping. Paypal holds your money, and it won’t pay the seller unless the buyer is satisfied. And if you get scammed, they will refund you

    Thank you for your efforts. Price was one third less, so reasonable. Item cost was small. It was found through Google shopping. Item was an obscure closeout but one I was looking for specifically, so I did not expect a scam, until it had a weird payment system and that led me here. The contact address upon searching was for an arena on the East Coast-obvious fake! I was expecting maybe a bland warehouse, that I would then check for a tenant list.

  21. The Green Ninja on February 23, 2023 at 5:36 am

    I ordered something from this website ( I don’t know what’s called) I don’t know if it’s a scam or not because my order says it processing right now

  22. Penelope Keys on February 23, 2023 at 5:36 am

    I signed for a membership for Worth-point, and paid my money via credit card. I then could not use the service when I went to use it. I then contacted them via email and they stated they had no record of my email or information. They suggested I cancel the credit card payment and then to contact them direct for membership. I cancelled the payment but now they have reversed it and an extra $100 has been taken out of my account. What do I do? HELP!!! I am from Australia.

    Hi!
    I know this is an old video, but I wanted to share my experience.
    Today facebook brought up a very sketchy (but I didn’t know that at the time) page and I was like oh my god those are nice boots. I clicked on the website and I quickly found like 8 items. I ordered them and I was like nice. Then a few hours later it hit me. It was way too good to be true so I tried to find any help and this video came up. I watched literally 1 and a half minutes and I realized I got scammed:/
    I did write an email to the website to ask my money back and to cancel my order, because usually websites do that, it’s an option. I hope that they give my money back, because it was like a 100 bucks://

    If they will not respond, what should I do? I am so panicked and I really don’t want my personal information stolen:(
