Counterfeit Product - 199xshoes.com

I ordered shoes from 199xshoes.com. The shoes that arrived were very clearly fake Nike Minds. I sent pictures and a video to the support address and was told they would place another order and verify authenticity with the manufacturer. After weeks of bogus tracking updates I was told the package was, "stuck in customs." I asked to cancel the order and for a refund and have heard nothing back.

Tech Support

I was recently targeted by a scammer on X, they seemed to be a fan of a franchise I thought they liked and he claimed there were reports on my X account so I foolishly took his help where they directed me to a discord account, it was originally andrewofficial.supp then they changed it to vivacious_fawn_44824 when their scam failed. When I met the guy, we went on a discord call; I was fully convinced he was actual X staff and didn’t see all the red flags like him asking me to change my old email [email protected] to another one being [email protected] then being gaslit into deleting the email to change it back. Effectively he stole my old account of 5 years from me. He then asked for my bank information, I luckily had the auto press feature so they didn’t see the login information and I foolishly browsed my bank account but my family barged into the room and stopped me from losing any money. The scammer then said to keep the call or delete the account and I said no and they simply replied, deleting the account now. It hasn’t been deleted yet as it still pops up on X. For the last 2 weeks, I’ve been trying to reclaim it back but the tickets I’ve been sending keep getting rejected by the AI only system of X thus I haven’t gotten it back from the scammer yet. I’ve shared information on being the original creator and owning the account for years but the AI doesn’t recognize it at all. I didn’t link a phone number but I showed old screenshots of being the owner but nothing has worked. I made a terrible mistake and lost a lot of great friends I’ve made and have been stressing out over trying to get it back with no luck from X support whatsoever. Can you please help me get it back from them?

I ordered a set of 2 chairs and a table through the TikTok site. I assumed since it was being advertised and showed up through TikTok, it was verified through them. I was obviously wrong. Everything seemed fine - they sent me an acknowledgement of the sale and "updates" on where the order stood until I questioned the 'unable to deliver' statements indicating there was a problem accessing the building. When I responded that I was in a single-family home and there was no restriction, the 'support' tech got very defensive and told me I could wait or request a refund. I requested a refund. I have been unable to contact them since. The email address they provided for support was "[email protected]". That address is no longer active, as I received a failure notice from [email protected]. I have attached their "tracking notice" that they continued to 'update.'

I don't remember how I was approached, but this particular scammer was posing as someone from a construction company. The job itself was for a 'remote virtual assistant.' They asked for some of my personal information, some of which I did unfortunately give away. I was hired shortly after, which did seem strange as they did not question whether I had the proper skills for the job, nor conducted a proper interview. Two days after I was approached by this "job," they immediately sent me a suspicious amount of money that was meant to be used to pay their supposed bills. I quickly went to search if it was normal for a company to have a new hire pay for their bills or equipment, and to my surprise, it is not at all normal. I hope that this will help others avoid situations like this, before something unthinkable happens in which there is reversing it.

I purchased 3 Martha's Sheep tote bags from this website. The bags were described as being quilted with appliques attached for the sheep wool and eyes. "Appliqued sheep — not printed The sheep motif is cut, layered, and carefully appliqued onto the panel. It won’t peel, crack, or wash off like a printed graphic ever would." They were reportedly made by Martha in the Blue Ridge Mountains , NC. When they arrived, 2 of the bags were quilted and lined, the 3rd had neither. All bags were just printed material. There was no applique on any of the bags. I have communicated via email with Alexandra from CRAFTFOLK multiple times. She indicated that they will refund my $150 if I return the misrepresented poor quality bags to them in Hong Kong, Level 7, World Trust Tower, 50 Stanley Street. The cost to return the bags was $35 by USPS today. I will now have to wait to see if they do refund my money.
