Description

I either received an email or clicked on a Pinterest ad. Sorry, can't remember. The brand advertized was Mac Kenzie Child,. a well known, upscale home decoration brand having a VERY deeply discounted BARN SALE. The photos of the products exactly matched the real online images, however the prices were deeply discounted. It appeared that the brand does hold a BARN SALE with great prices. This so far seemed legit and a great bargain. A piece of furniture was shown and I was curious about the shipping charge. In order to get that you had to go through the entire sales process including CC number. After going back to the sale items (there were 100's) I went back to the check out and hoped to see the shipping added, but it said free shipping and because I had spent a certain amount I also received an additional AMAZING discount. I found another item and added it to the total. This was a 2 piece sofa reg. price almost $10,000. I'm sure there was plenty of mark up in that but now with all the discounts for spending more, the sofa was about $72.00!!!! Wow they must have really had overstock. I finished the transaction and to my amazement the total still had free shipping and and was around $72.00. I had referred back the Real Mac C site to verify the pictures and it all matched exactly. Boy, was this going to be my lucky day!! I waited to receive a transaction email and after about 5 hrs. nothing. That seemed strange. I checked Reddit for any scams similar and found nothing. I rechecked the Mac C site and they do have a huge Barn Sale in July. Lots of photos of that and running for years. But, with no acknowledgement by the end of the day i called my CC co. to attempt to cancel the order. The CC cr said nothing was ishowing yet and to ck bk on Monday. Now, Monday it shows on my account under NOCERAST ATLANTA USA. It is listed as a cosmetic company on the CC charge. I looked it up and found it as a scam biz often selling deeply discounted Carters brand baby clothes. Nothing about the Mac C brand but maybe they are expanding their successful enterprise. The old saying, Too good to be true, is not to be ignored! Be safe.
