Description
I purchased a product on a website that looked ok, paying with paypal. I received not confirmation, couldn't create an account on the website, received no product. I emailed the email on the paypal receipt and contacted the customer service email on the website many times without response. When I contacted paypal they reached the seller (Amanda Cook, [email protected]) who provided a tracking number. The tracking number was not for a package addressed to me, but it did show a delivery to my town. Paypal originally sided with the seller because there was a tracking number showing delivery. When I persisted with paypal they called UPS and confirmed the tracking number corresponded with a different delivery recipient and different delivery address. It appears someone has access to UPS tracking numbers by city and is using it to pretend to deliver products - It took a lot of persistence to prove the "proof of delivery" was not proof of delivery to me. I don't know who to report the fake website to or who to inform that UPS tracking numbers are able to be used in this way. I'm hoping this is useful to you so other people can be helped. Thank you
