Description

I saw a beautiful handcrafted necklace made of metal delicately surrounding glass crafted to look like a beautiful ocean wave. I ordered it off of the advertisement. A woman named Lara was retiring so she was selling all of her handcrafted jewelry for 75% off of the regular price. The original price for the necklace was over $100. I paid $26.99 for it. When I received no conformation, nor any receipt for my purchase, I immediately called my bank to put a stop any further transactions on my card, and then the next day I discontinued my card and got a new one. I had the bank leave on the $26.99 charge in case I was wrong, they told me if I did not receive the necklace then I could file a claim through them. I also emailed the company and flat out asked them if they were a scam company as all I received after my purchase was a flowery email thanking me for my purchase. we emailed back and forth a couple of times where they kept assuring me I would get the necklace I ordered. I had told them the bank would file a claim if I did not get necklace. I was not surprised my necklace did not arrive quickly after realizing (after I had already ordered it) that their company was located in China and not in the UK like there email suggested. This information was not easy to find in their misleading ad. I did just today receive an ugly necklace with a piece of blue plastic shaped somewhat like a wave. I would not have ever ordered something so cheap looking and I certainly would not have paid for such a gaudy piece. I emailed the company after receiving the piece of junk and let them know how I felt about their scam company. I do not want anyone else who might see their bullsh@t ad to be taken in and lose money on such junk.
