Description
Husband asked me “WHY do we have a payment going to Ireland?”and I knew I was scammed. They took the order payment and a :25 POS Purchase Fee CBA FEES. I let my guard down. I was on Facebook and hit the advertisement for a clearance for clothing from JCPenny. Done with other ads like Walmart and Amazon so why not. Didn’t pay attention to window’s address that opened and when you closed it went back to Facebook. I should have known when the size chart had me a larger size. Blew it off as it has to do with the designer. I hadn’t order nothing on JCPenney for awhile so had to get an account. I know big sign. Did get the confirmation email that says “JCP TEXAS Central Warehouse “with a tracking number. The #haureous23228 was on the email. I did have the feeling then that is weird. Since my husband asked the question this morning, I was able to go back to the website link and try to go to other department pages and could go anywhere. Went to the bottom of the page has the payment secured badges. It has the copyright symbol 2023 JCPENNEY TEXAS Central Warehouse. When you go to contact us it isn’t anything with JCPenney. I doubt I see anything from what I have read from other people. I’ll be going to the bank this morning to let them know. What else am I in for because of this?
