Description
I saw an ad on Instagram for an advent calendar of "sea glass ornaments". I clicked on the link and went to the website to purchase two of them. (https://www.poetchic.com/products/sea-glass-christmas-tree-advent-calendar-2 and https://www.poetchic.com/products/2025-sea-glass-advent-calendar-ocean-treasures). The pages show actual sea glass ornaments, pictures of someone drilling a piece of sea glass to make an ornament, three-dimensional ornaments sitting on a table. When they arrived, they were not made of sea glass. They are pictures of sea glass ornaments embedded in clear plastic. Both of the advent calendars I ordered are plastic-encased images. It's a complete scam. I am attempting to get my money back but I just got a canned reply "we have received your order". These people need to be shut down. They are selling a fraudulent product.
