Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam - Overstock Impostor

The item I believed I was purchasing was a Delonghi Evo Espresso maker. I found the listing through the Google sales listing strip at the top of a Google search. The Google ad said it was Overstock.com and it looked like a great deal, so I purchased it. Initially I received several emails confirming my order in the body of the email it had an Overstock logo (red letter "O") and said "Overstock" so I believed I had purchased from Overstock.com. However, I became slightly suspicious when I saw the email address was [email protected] and the name in the email address said Overstoreck; also thought it was weird that the email address that PayPal billed me for the transaction was not a business name but rather "Victoria" [email protected]. In the email an order tracking link was provided for the first three days the link worked but just said "not shipped" as of today the link is dead. After doing some additional research on the web I found several reports of Overstoreck being fraudulent website that pretends to be Overstock.com and is linked to the [email protected] email address. I also see the website listed as overtale.shop; and goeasymart. The link to the item itself ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* ** **** *****

The caller claimed that there would be two attempts to serve my spouse with legal documents requiring my spouse's signature either at our home or at my spouse's place of employment between noon and 4:00 p.m. today. The caller stated further that if my spouse had any questions my spouse should call (833) 925-3876 and reference a "file number" that the caller provided. The caller also stated that the call was "being logged" and if, after two attempts, service had not been made, the alleged legal matter would proceed without my spouse's consent and to my spouse's disadvantage.

I became immediately suspicious when I got an email from: [email protected] (clearly not gamifo.com). When I tried going to the veasyservice.com website it didn't exist. When I replied to the email address I got no reply. When I tried to contact the email address listed on the website, [email protected], it bounced back as non-existant. No phone, address or other contact information was listed. I started a search on the "@veasyservice.com" and found that they use several different names like [email protected] or [email protected], and also discovered that these addresses were popping up on all of the scam warning pages. When I contacted my credit card company they had this company listed as "N2P*V artshopfback" and they describe themselves as a women's apparel store. I filed a dispute with them and they refunded my money. ALWAYS USE A CREDIT CARD for online purchases! This is the email they sent me after the purchase. Note they they promised a tracking number but none ever came nor did they reply to my request for one: [email protected] to Edward Dear Edward, Thank you for your recent order #1161758223147656808 with us.
