      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I ordered one piece of jewelry from ******* prior to Christmas 2023. They shipped what I ordered plus an additional piece of jewelry that I did not order. My credit card showed 3 identical amounts charged. I called *******. They told me they couldn’t see 3 charges but sometimes additional amounts appear as a ‘hold’. They issued return paperwork for the additional item. I ended up keeping the additional item. My credit was billed for 2 pieces of jewelry. I only received 2 pieces of jewelry. I have sent them a letter referencing transaction numbers from my credit company but to no avail. Now ******* has sent me a letter stating they are going to place a third charge on my credit card if I do not return a piece of jewelry. I don’t owe them a cent. I received 2 pieces and was billed for 2 pieces. I would like an acknowledgement that I owe them nothing . I would like them to stop harassing me. I would like an apology. I have copies of credit card statements and correspondence if needed Thank you **** *******

      Vile company with heartless people cheating hard working families out of life saving and hard earnings criminal how they can still operate with the strong arming tactics that is reminiscent of the mafia. I pray people look at this and every others review or complaint rather and see this these criminals should never gets done from you and if you never ordered from them don’t pay they can’t prove you ordered from them and the creditors as well so it will be dropped but many people fold to their strong arm tactics unfortunately
