Description

The legitimate business "Joann" (craft business with 800+ stores, 500 of which are being closed), had (I think) scammers copying their website under the (phony name Joannofficialdotcom), and presenting items with extraordinary low prices (up to 80% off retail). Everything on this site looks legit. Well over 100 pages (screens) of products being sold, and all divided into sections on their site. Yarn, fabric, sewing tools and elements. Everything which the legitimate Joann carries. Even the company information which Joann lists on their site is on this (phony) site. I initially thought that Joann was selling excess inventory from their closed stores, or that they were clearing out their warehouses. I have emailed Joann about this site to let them know "someone" is doing this. I also notified my Debit Card company, and requested a new card. I have lost my $70.80 payment for my order, but feel I have saved my bank account deposits. The unease started when I received an email from "service@easyemailhub" stating that my package was being dispatched from Paris France: Joann is an American company with their stores here in the US, and that I could track my package through Airoexpress (website). My card company told me that the charges were from British Columbia, Canada. This all sounds so convoluted. How can anyone follow up with an order like this? The scam site did send me a tracking number, but it is too early to verify the legitimacy of the transaction. Will they ask me for more payments? Will they send me anything?
