Online Purchase - Lara Green Jewelry

Received email ad from LaraGreenJewelry.com, as one often does when shopping online. Presented as an older woman retiring from custom-made jewelry business, with reduced costs for final sales. Looked at items and placed 2 in my online shopping cart, but didn't complete purchase at that time. Got another email a bit later saying last hours of sale and closing. Purchased 2 rings and charged to credit card. Did online search for company to see where located since not on front page of their site, and received numerous "red flag" warnings of scam site. Interestingly, one bit of info says the company is in Durham, NC which is approx 2 hours from my home in Mocksville, NC. Attempted to cancel purchase since less that 12 hours since made it, to no avail. I have since found this same phone number 252-931-7890 to be associated with other companies with very similar names and slight variations, such as LanaGreenJewelry.com in Durham, NC, and LydieAnneJewelry.com. I also just found on the BBB website that Lara Green Jewelry has been assigned Scam ID 975607.

Saw and ad on Facebook for an electric diamond painting pen. Placed order on July 14, 2025 and it was confirmed it shipped from overseas and took a while, but my order was finally received about two weeks later. Everything was in the order that was on the ad however, the pin broke within a week of using it I immediately reached out to the customer support email address provided on the website. I explained the situation and asked for a replacement. The website says that someone will respond within 48 hours, but no one has responded and it’s been nearly a week. I also tried to contact the seller via Instagram messenger and Facebook messenger, but I have received no response or acknowledgment there either. There was also a chat function on the website where you talk to a bot and that was not even able to find my order number my name or my email address, despite the fact that I’m I was looking directly at the email while I was trying to get help. In the meantime, I am still receiving promotional emails from the company.
