Online Purchase

Purchased a USB Cable from their website. The product came defective and not functioning. Company insists on videos and what became a 20+ email exchange. Company supposedly has shipped a new product (haven’t received) but wouldn’t replace without charging me $7 for shipping and handling (this cost likely exceeds the wholesale cost of the product I purchased) I wrote a trustpilot review and they attempted to bribe me to take it down by offering me my $7 back and a free cable. This company has extremely poor ethics and US customers should be very cautious dealing with them. It’s likely a profitable business model to ship broken goods and double dip on fees.

Online Purchase - Desyarnic

I placed a large order on TikTok. They had some beautiful items for good prices. I’ve purchased many products on TikTok before never had any issues. Well I waited for a month never got a tracking number so I emailed the company and they sent me a tracking number that said my Package left china on one date and was delivered to U.S my address 3 days later. I emailed them back and said there’s no way my package left the facility in china and was delivered to me 3 days later . That’s when I knew I wasn’t getting my products. They told me they would reship the items. Waited another month and they repeated the process. I never received my items. I then requested a refund. They sent an email saying it would take 15-25 days to get it. Well that was 5 months ago I email them once a month now asking for my money back and they continue to say due to how busy the banks are it may take longer and to be patient. I’ve asked for a customer service number several times and they will not provide one to me. SMH. TikTok should vet the company’s they allow to sell on their app I really thought they did. I wish there was more I could do these scammers need to be stopped.

Crypto Trading Scam ? Now Under CYSEC Investigation ? No U.S. Action Yet ?? I?m sharing this to warn others and draw attention to what appears to be a coordinated international crypto trading scam targeting U.S. investors ? now under investigation by regulators in Cyprus. In May 2025, I was recruited into a so-called trading group called ?Wealth Compass Club 71? led by a woman named Haleigh Rogers, promoting a platform called OEXN (domains used: oexnn.cc, oexnus.cc). The scheme operated as follows: - I was directed to deposit over $26,000 via wire transfers to shell companies like: - Gold Circuit Trading - PrivToolkit Limited - PrimaloFit Inc - I was promised automated trading support and withdrawal of profits. - After generating ?profits,? I was blocked from withdrawing unless I paid a $20,000 ?large withdrawal channel? fee. - I later discovered that: - No withdrawal rules were disclosed in advance. - The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has confirmed the platform is malicious and fraudulent. - CySEC has launched an investigation and confirmed the use of impersonated domains and fake regulation.

Bought two dresses which did not match description on website. Advertisement stated it was a patchwork dress made 95% cotton and received a printed dress on stretchy polyester. I emailed for a return and they said this: Dear Thank you for the feedback and Sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with it. Since all returns need to be sent to China. The freight incurred by the return shall be borne by the buyer.Due to the long time and high cost of the return handling. Would you mind accepting a 10% discount coupon and keep the items? Please let us know.Have a good day Another attempt: Dear customer, Thanks for getting in touch with us. All returns need to be returned to China. The freight incurred by the return shall be borne by the buyer. Due to high shipping fee and long transportation, will you consider a 20% coupon and keep the items or send it to your friends?

I purchased a dress online from what I thought was a legitimate business. It was advertised through Facebook and the website looked like it was a real business located in New York. Only to find out that is is a Chinese scam and has been operating in a fraudulent manner, stealing people's payment with no delivery or sending a product that is not what was advertised online. I wish I did my research first, but because it was a Facebook ad, I assumed it was legit.

I saw a charge on my account I did not make. I contacted the company via chat because they won’t give you a phone number. They were very unhelpful and treated me like I was lying. They said hope you made this charge, you pay it. I asked what the products were? Can they explain? I contacted Amazon which is where it was purchase from. Amazon sent Afterpay an email stating this purchase was not made by me. Nothing was bought from my account on that day at all. So this is fraud. They keep saying oh we will call you, and never do. So I am out over $100 for the payments I have made. And I’m not paying the balance so now I have to worry about collections and my credit. All because they will not communicate with me at all. Ridiculous and a scam.
