Description

I ordered two pieces of jewelry from this company via an ad on Facebook. Immediately after placing the order, my credit card company notified me that a fraudulent charge was trying to go through from a Mol-ahmed-gol. I called them and they advised me to contact the company to see if it was legit. I only found an email and they were responsive, even closing the emails with the name Eileen, the lady in the add who claims to be closing the business due to the death of her husband. Fast forward to yesterday, I got the jewelry. It was pure junk. I took a pic of the jewelry and did reverse photo look up and the same jewelry was being sold by Shein for $4.00. The company even sent an email saying they were having manufacturing issues and there would be a problem with the jewelry. I searched the internet for the return address and it comes up as an address commonly used in brushing scams. I told my credit card company to contact cestlavie and dispute charges and I closed my card. Today I checked my credit card and numerous charges were trying to go through but couldn’t because I closed the card. I believe it was done in retaliation for reporting them to the credit card company in an attempt to get my money back.
