Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered 4 bags and the price was higher than advertised. The bags were nothing like the description which said they were individually handmade by a lady named Martha who lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Quilted and hand appliqued, with a tag inside with her name, and there was more description none of which was true. When I tracked the package I could see it was coming from China and the address to return the bags (at my expense) was Hong Kong.

Online Purchase - Online Retail Scam

This company ran a buy one get one promo. Half of the merchandise was shipped. It is extremely difficult to get ahold of them at all. When I did they stated there has been a lot of theft of their merchandise. I pointed out the weight of the package they sent did not correspond with the amount of product I bought. I even tried to do a return. They sent a prepaid packing label but the items were marked as “0.00” because they were part of the promo. That doesn’t work when I never received half of the items in the bundle. Those items on my receipt previously had a price next to them. Via email they even acknowledged no other package was sent for this specific order but did not offer to make it right.

I had a very disappointing experience with Zorkx.com. I ordered three BBQ cleaners and never received my order. When I contacted customer service, they told me the package had been delivered, but they could not provide any proof of delivery, such as a delivery photo or other documentation showing it was actually delivered to my address. Instead of helping resolve the issue, they simply told me to contact the shipping carrier and offered no assistance. As the retailer, I expected them to help investigate the missing package or work toward a resolution. Instead, I was left to deal with the problem on my own after paying for products I never received. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend doing business with this company. If something goes wrong with your order, don't expect them to provide meaningful customer support or help ensure you receive the products you paid for.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

My mom saw an ad on Facebook and maybe even Gmail in promotions about these wide shoes guaranteed to fit. She ordered two for $89 - no sales tax was charged - they took 3 weeks to arrive. They were terrible quality and not like the photos posted. Their hassle free return policy is that if they do not fit or if you don't like the quality, the customer has to pay for shipping to return them to the UNITED KINGDOM. That is NOT hassle free and cost way too much. When you return, they offer you 80% off more of their poor quality shoes! This site needs to be taken down!

After searching the website I was communicating with seller through messages and reassured by seller that engine will come soon and warranty was included for 6 months. After a week of asking for shipping status was informed engine on its way and was to be delivered 7-10 business days. After several contact attempts the contact number was disconnected and seller didn’t respond at all.

This is an opportunity for your strategic involvement in our merger acquisition initiative. Through collaborative efforts we are purchasing voter and ownership rights, at ABOVE MARKET prices, directly from the Owner. Hilton Grand Vacation Group is in need of your rights to complete a private-structured acquisition in effort to replace the voting rights of the current management. A significant portion of VILLA DEL PALMAR has been acquired through a privately equity purchase; however, our strategic positioning requires control of the majority ownership.

I have been receiving a phone call from the phone number I provided. As much as I have this number blocked on my cell phone, the more it pops up. Being very persistent. Today, I actually answered the phone and spoke to a man named Jason. States that there is an open case on me regarding MBNA credit card from a gas station. The year was 2005-2010. I stated to this man that I do watch my credit report. Doesn't exist. Jason stated to me that it won't show up on the credit report yet because it has not gone to the courts yet. States to me that I owe $4,631.34 but can be settled out of court for $2014.67. I asked again the name of the attorney's office they were calling from. Keller & Redmond Asset Recovery LLC. I asked for Jason's phone number. he rattled it off really quick to me. I asked for the attorney's phone number. He stated it was on the website. I said ok. I asked will I expect to see something in the mail from the attorney's office or the courts. He said the courts. I said ok then. I will call my local courts and see if this is truly legit. He said it won't be there yet because they haven't filed it yet. It will take 2-4 weeks. I said I will call my local courts in 2 weeks. I tried to look this company up on BBB. They don't exist. I googled the phone number from the website 803-962-9611 and another attorney website came up. I then googled if this company is legitimate. Taken from google: fake or highly suspicious entity, as there is no verifiable corporate registration, official licensing, or public business footprint under that exact name. Scammers frequently invent official-sounding law or asset recovery firm names to trick people into paying phantom debts or fees.
