Description
I paid in installments through Shop, so once it was set up i paid them. They had paid the scammer up front. When the order never arrived, I tried the website, email, etc for the company. All were gone. I've paid $89 to Shop but no merchandise. I do NOT think Shop is involved in scamming because I deal with them all the time with ZERO problems.
