Description

I visited the forbiddenpant.com website and placed an order for two pair of pants. The money was collected and I received an order confirmation via email. I never heard anything from them after that. I contacted them via email (a Gmail account) and never heard back. So, I called the phone number listed on the website and was connected to a small hotel in a completely different state! The street address on the website shows New York as the state, but the address and ZIP code are actually for New Mexico. So, they used "NY" for the state instead of "NM". The site looks reasonable and the models wearing the pants in the photos look great, so the scammers did a decent to good job creating this site as a "front". I purchased the pants from them, thinking I was helping a "small business" vs purchasing them on Amazon.
