Description

I ordered a pair of jean from Laura New York, which I saw an ad on Instagram from. The jeans looked cute so I wanted to give it a shot. I was redirected to a professional looking website, which was made to look like it was a family-owed, mother-daughter business. There was a sale so I decided to buy a pair of these jeans since I did really like them. I noticed immediately when the item shipped that it was coming from China. When I received the pants, I noticed they were made of a cheap nylon material rather than the photo advertised to me, and they fit horribly, probably worth about $15 maximum and I paid almost $50. I emailed the company immediately, requesting a return since there is a 30-day return policy. They emailed back saying that they would give me 10% back of my purchase and I could keep the pants (which would only be about $5 back to me), or I could return them and be charged a $10 fee and have to pay for the shipping back to Asia, where they would inspect the pants and decide how much to refund me. This is clearly a scam business selling extremely cheap clothing while advertising trendy clothing that looks of higher quality.
