Description

Exactly as the other report specified, a forced ad in a mobile gaming app repeatedly popped up (several times over a 2-3 week period late June-July, &occasionally seen the last 4 months) advertising 90% off merch from "Big Lots Stores Closing In Your Area" - which was mighty sneaky, since 2 stores recently closed without warning, just a few miles from my home. I ordered cleaning products & household goods, originally intending just to buy 1 or 2 needed items, but was schnookered into purchasing more by the claim of "Free Shipping on orders over $40" & then the BIG red flag I should have noticed: "50% Off Orders over $50," when prices were already heavily discounted (like, duh, Im a dummy, nobody gives stuff away lower than cost, even when closing). But since there was some truth to the bogus ad, I didn't worry overly much, since they did give the order an invoice # and tracking details... But, same as the poor sap who got post it notes, instead of 40 some odd $$ of large quantities of useful household cleaners(dish soap, liquid detergent, Downy beads, paper towels&TP, wet wipes, sponges, Lysol, nitrile gloves, etc) & other goods (padded floor mats, mini fridge, electric burner, a small air fryer, etc), I received ONE, yes, ONE Mesh Pet Fence Guard - a product I hadn't even seen on the site. I definitely did not receive even one item ordered, but with the low price tag paid for the huge list of items (the list above isn't everything, just what I remembered), &many with multiple/large quantities... Yep. I felt pretty dumb when that tiny package arrived. &To make it worse, there were a few similar websites running the same '90% off Sales' - many of which could only be found through those pop-up ads, so when I realized I'd been had & tried to enter my email &tracking number, all I got was the error "does not exist" - &could not recall the EXACT website URL (the only drawback to erasable ink pens... In high temps, your notes are gone), altho support@ms-dressly was the right contact email for the site; one time, I did make it to the right site, &the invoice # had my large order detailed & listed as "en route." And if they ever replied to my inquiry, while it could be buried in a few thousand spam emails & mislabeled folders, I never saw a reply, & certainly never got any money back... Sneaky scam!
