Description

I saw the add on Instagram with clothes from the brand Billabong in sale. I selected clothes, hats, swimsuits, backpacks, and bags. There was saying a big sale because the brand was declaring banckrupcy. I research on google and there was saying the brand really was having issues. I believed the add, spend $101.27 in goods that was important to me. I also paid $1.99 for shipping insurance. They sent an email confirmation and there was a link to see my order and a tracking number REDC7398386334. It was supposed to take up to 30 days, and on day 30th after shipping I saw a late update on tracking, saying it was delivered. Getting home there was no box, I was expecting a big package for the amount of goods. There was no box, but inside my mailbox I got a small package with my name and address, with a fake ring. i emailed them, the only way of contact.was by email. The answer was that they are a very serious company, that the ring was gift they sent me to confirm my address, that I have to answer a question if I accept to have my order resend to me in 7-15 days. I said yes, please send the good I paid for. But I was suspicious and researched. I see that email was used for online scams and that Billabong sale can be a scam too. Then I found that website and I am doing my first report. Thank you very much for making this service.
