Description
I found their website and inquired on some items. We agreed on a price which included shipping. Once i made the payment, I was told the items were shipped. I then received an email from the shipping company that seemed suspicious. The shipping company told me I needed insurance to ship, otherwise the items would be confiscated and I would face criminal charges. I was instructed to send the seller another $505, rather than the shipping company. I tried to speak with the company I purchased from, but the seller became hostile. I aksed for a refund, but was refused.
