Description
I ordered a part online we agreed on the price of $500 so it looks legit, I send them $500 then they asked another $300 they said it’s for the insurance, they didn’t mention that insurance in the first place. So I decided not to send the 300 and I told them that I don’t want the part anymore, I just want to get my money back, but keep on insisting to send them the $300, they said if I will not send the 300 I lose everything. We been talking about it for two days and keep on insisting me to send the money. Now they asking for 200 instead of 300, but still they don’t want to give my money back. They treated me that I will lose the 500 dollars.
