Below is screen shot from the Vinyl Status website which clearly would lead a person to believe they were buying a sticker with an a working RFID tag. This is tremendously misleading at a bare minimum, likely criminal false advertising since Vinyl Status is completely aware the product contains no RFID capacity other than the word "RFID" and zero attempt at even the smallest disclaimer. Add to that interstate commerce fraud since Vinyl Status is in WA and I am in CA. And using the USPS to deliver this product involves them under mail fraud. Wire fraud, since it was an online transaction. I'd say a refund to me is the absolute least of the issues Vinyl Status should be concerned about with business practices like this. Please process my request for refund, as I am no where close to %101 satisfied with my purchase. **** ***** We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by the details provided on our page. We understand how this may have led to misunderstandings, and we are actively working to update and clarify the information about our product offerings to prevent this in the future.
