Phishing

I read on Newsbreak that Peacock customers were getting a price increase. Googled phone number to see if my account was going to increase and got in touch with this  shoun parker - 833-580-0577, and they indicated having two Peacock accounts. I let him know I had one for $10.99 and that Peacock owes me over $500.  Attempted to go through many different vendors, Amazon, Target, to give refund.  When those attempts didn't work, he advised that I would have to go to Dollar General to purchase gift cards to make a payment on my credit card.  Made purchase and gave him numbers, made purchase on credit card and let them know of my scam. Filed a dispute with Capital One for $850.  Opened case with Apple, since it was a gift card.

She said once I register that the items would get sent to my house & that when I was done assembling the products that a courier would come pick up the items, inspect the items & give me my payment. I did a research & saw that there were similar things reported to the BBB about this being a scam. They will eventually ask you to pay something whether it's for you to receive the items or for the courier to come pick up the items & that it would be reimbursed once the courier approves the inspection.

I was looking for some clothing pieces to add to my teacher wardrobe and stumbled upon Sharon and Ellen Savannah’s webpage. The site appeared credible. They claimed to be two women who started a boutique in Savannah, Georgia. Their site boasted a 30 day money back guarantee and the clothing pieces looked high quality. On top of appearing high quality, they were expensive, but at the time, the boutique claimed to be running a sale. I purchased two jumpsuits for $44/each which was a significant mark down from the original price tag. Little to my knowledge, the clothing would not arrive to me for 1.5 months as they were shipped from a warehouse in China and NOT a boutique in Georgia. When I received the clothes, they were cheaply made. I tried them on and they did not fit properly. When I emailed to ask for a return, I was informed that I WOULD HAVE TO PAY the international return shipping fee and that I’d only get a full refund IF the product made it back to the warehouse and was processed there. My other option was to be given a PARTIAL REFUND of 15% of my purchase. Clearly, they do not honor a 30 day money back guarantee as their site suggests. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS BOUTIQUE
