I saw this ad that populated up online stating that JC Penny was having a clearance sale which was about to end & that it was the last chance to order those items before the sale was over. I mean everything looked legit so I begin to order items that I assumed I was going to receive but time past by & I have yet to receive those items . Each time I mention those items they claim that they are out of stock or lost. Now the story is that I can pay to have the items reshipped to me but I will not receive a refund. Now they claim they are working on my refund to have the amount put back on my debit card. They even issued me a tracking # Tracking package order number250919105212309.
