Description

There is a fake website: Hollister USA. I tried to purchase items thinking this was the popular clothing store. Then I placed an order. The website is VERY sophisticated, from the clothing, logos, multiple tabs, "contact us" everything. Unfortunately, I set up an account with my personal info. Then I tried to pay for items with my credit card and the card had trouble loading. As my family and I travel often (we are military), this sometimes happens with American companies, so I wasn't overly concerned. Instead I used PayPal, which went through. But as soon as I received the email confirmation from PayPal, instead of saying I paid Hollister, it said I sent money to Edder Alan Carvallo Rodriguez. I immediately reached out to PayPal customer service but as the charge was "pending " they could do nothing. I emailed this Edder Alan Carvallo Rodriguez person (PayPal has an email attached to sellers) and told him to immediately cancel my order. He then somehow charged me MORE than the original charge listed and PayPal allowed it! But then he cancelled the order and returned the money. However, over the following days I started receiving other mystery charges. Someone created a VenMo account in my name, attached to my credit card account, and attempted multiple charges. This fake VenMo account under my name and credit card sent money to someone named Tamika Possy. My credit card originally sent this scammer via Venmo over $200. But when this fraudulent Venmo sent another $300 plus dollars, my credit card stopped payment. I have since spoken to my credit card, am disputing the claims, and they are sending me a new card. In total, between the scammers Hollister-USA/Edder and Venmo/Tamika, they attempted to get about $600 out of me, and they clearly are using my name, address, password, and credit card number to do illegal things. This is the website DO NOT USE, BEWARE!!!! https://www.hollister-usa.com/
