Description

Went to Winnfield Memorial Funeral Home website, under recourses to local florist link and selected a link which took my spouse to Sarata Florist website. She picked a flower arrangement, purchased and received a confirmation email that stated that the order was received. About 30 mins later she received another email that stated that the order was cancelled due to the florist in the area being unable to deliver stating that, customer service manager Margaret Reys, was unsure why and would investigate to ensure that it didn't happen again. It also stated that they'd issued a full refund to my credit card and that the money would be reflected on card statement within 2 business days. Then a few minutes later received another email "showing" that the order was refunded. So my spouse, thinking it was just because of the holiday, tried again the next day with the same result. I checked my account at the 5 business day mark and did not have any refunds from them. An online check of them turned up that their 800 number that is linked to several florist scams, that their street address is a Bank of America and also the fact that it is a recently created domain that has an ad that is linked to Baby Blue Florist LL, which is also listed as a scamon several websites.
