Description
Search engine results directed me to https://www.equipesempire.com/about-us/ complete with EMC test reports indicating a valid business. I placed an order for a Ryobi riding lawnmower by clicking a 'Buy it Now' link on the catalog page. This directed me to a Pay-Pal site where I completed the order. Soon afterwards I received a valid looking receipt with my order number and order date. Days later I checked on my order status only to be shown a fake tracking number 1234567890 and an incorrect order date. Attempts to contact the business failed although they claim to have a long hold time and to try again later.
