Description

My wife found Hotflot’s posts on Instagram and went to their website to purchase a crocheted doll on 6/23–order was confirmed, credit card charged. By 7/21 she still hadn’t received, so she emailed to ask about a refund. Hotflot replied that the item (a Prince doll) is ‘hand-knitted stitch by stitch,’ saying she would be notified when order ships. This doll is mass-produced and available from dozens of vendors (we discovered at Amazon, Walmart, and Etsy). Not hand-stitched by some precious crochet artist. Looking up reviews of the company, the vast majority say customers paid and never received the item. The website looks good; it’s a good scam. They need to be shut down as they are a total fraud.
