Online Purchase - Online Purchase Scam

I ordered clothing items in my usual size from this company. Upon arrival, all items were significantly smaller than expected, despite being labeled with the correct sizes. I contacted the company via email to request a return and refund. Instead of providing return instructions, the company repeatedly attempted to offer partial refunds of 5–10% if I agreed to keep the items, which were not usable due to incorrect sizing. After multiple attempts, I was eventually provided with a return address. However, my local post office flagged the address as suspicious. I independently researched the address and found complaints online indicating it has been associated with potential scams. The company stated that return shipping would cost approximately $17. However, when I attempted to ship the items, the lowest verified cost quoted by the post office was $68. Additionally, the company requires the items to be received before issuing any refund, which raises further concern given the questionable return address. Due to the misleading sizing, difficulty obtaining legitimate return instructions, discrepancies in return shipping costs, and concerns about the validity of the return address, I believe this business is engaging in deceptive practices.

They also state you can return product but once you buy you realize it needs to be shipped back to China which is expensive to send back. Got the dresses but they are so cheaply made. Not worth 20.00. Stitching is a joke.. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. They are making you believe that the goods are quality. They look beautiful and nicely made. When you contact them they say they are mimicking styles.

I clicked on an Instagram ad for a knee support strap from a company called Flex Wrap Co. I added the product to my cart, but never completed the purchase. Later that day, my credit card was not only charged $9.99 for the knee strap I didn’t order, but also $49.99 and $149.99 for a “membership” I didn’t even know about. I emailed their support team and received a reply indicating the charges would be reversed in 2-3 business days. I waited 5 business days and the charges still had not been reversed, so I sent a follow-up message to the same email address. It came back as undeliverable. Additionally, the Flex Wrap Co. website is no longer accessible. I reported the fraudulent charges to my credit card company so hopefully they will be reversed and I will not incur a loss. My advice, don’t click on Instagram ads

Once I completed that and it asked me to pay for a course, despite the offer letter saying training would be paid, I knew something was off. I immediately began to research and was led to understand that this is a company operating under another company's name, pretending to be an affiliate of some sort. Appen.com is the real company. WhoIs states that this website was created just over 2 years ago and has been associated with a ton of scam activity. Unfortunately, they got all my personal information.
