Description

I saw a Facebook ad for Portland Leather’s flash sale. I clicked on it, and it redirected me to a website that looked exactly like Portland Leather. I purchased 4 items. The shipping notification (from China) indicated items were delivered, but they were not. I emailed them, and the supposedly expedited another package. Again, I received a shipping notification of delivered, yet no package. Through email they asked me to take a 70% refund. I declined. They said they’d send 100% refund within 25 days. It never came. I contacted again and they claimed “Your refund application was approved, but due to force majeure, it didn't arrive on time. We apologize for this. We've reapplied for your refund and will process it as soon as possible, returning it to your original payment method.” They never respond directly to my emails- it always comes as a new email. They’ve been using [email protected]. I now know it’s been a scam all along.
