Description
There is a site on the internet, has an older looking lady , it says she is closing her store and so her Jewlery is heavily discounted, perfect for Christmas. So I thought it looked very official, was I ever wrong. It took forever to get the Jewlery " Cracker Jack stuff" Fake as crap, not silver at all, the kind of stuff you would get at the dollar store or worse. The minute I opened the package thinking I would have some nice pretty pieces of jewlery, I instantly went Oh shit, I have been scammed, I have tried and tried endlessly to email and get there return address as well as to phone the number on the Helen's Gems site, no one answers, it is very much a scam. Not to mention it says she is from Utah, and yet the envelope has a Canadian address, when I saw that I thought o.k. this is fake.
