Online Purchase - Retail Website Scam

I ordered two desk lamps from Peter Oliveira. I hadn't realized that they were being shipped from China, and it took a few weeks to receive them. When I did get them, I saw that they had European plugs and could not be used in the U.S. After several email exchanges, including my giving the sales rep, Anna, photographs to prove they were the incorrect plugs, she offered this: "After reviewing your request, I would like to kindly clarify that we are unable to provide a prepaid return label for this case. I truly apologize for any disappointment this may cause and appreciate your understanding. However, I would be more than happy to offer you the following options so we can resolve this in the most suitable way for you: ?? Option 1 – 15% Discount on Your Purchase You’re welcome to keep the item and receive a 15% refund back to your original payment method. No return is required. ?? Option 2 – Return for a Full Refund If you prefer a full refund, you may return the item to our international fulfillment center. Please kindly note that, as stated in our Return & Exchange Policy, return shipping costs (typically $40–$50 USD) will be the responsibility of the customer. In addition, any customs duties, import taxes, or clearance fees will not be covered by our company and must also be paid by the sender. ?? Return Address: Peter Oliveira 2nd Floor, Building 2 Hailian Industrial Zone No. 3388 Airport Road Haishu District, Ningbo Please also note that refunds can only be processed once the returned item has been delivered and received at our fulfillment center. Once received, we will promptly process your refund. ?? Option 3 – One-Time Replacement We can also offer a one-time replacement at no additional cost. If you are still not satisfied with the replacement, please note that we will no longer be able to offer another return or refund for the order. We truly hope this option provides a more comfortable solution for you. Please rest assured that we are here to support you throughout this process and will do our very best to assist you in the way that works best for you." None of these were good options. All benefit the company, not the customer. They were not here to support me in an honest way. On April 13th, Anna said she would: escalate "your concern to our management team for further review. It's now been four more weeks, and I've heard nothing back from the company or from this 'Anna.'

Counterfeit Product

Purchased clothing that was advertised as boutique store in Savannah, Georgia. Website stated there was 30 day money back guarantee with no questions asked. Otherwise I would have never ordered from them. Received merchandise that was poor quality, cheap material and incorrect sizes. Tried to return a few days later and they said they would only refund 10% and that if I wanted to return merchandise would have to pay shipping to China which would exceed the price of the goods. However, Mailing address on their package was 5215 S. Boyle Ave., Vernon , CA. 90058. They also would not give me their contact number. I have filed dispute with American Express and will try to mail back merchandise to their Vernon, CA address. This is a total scam and misrepresentation of a boutique clothing shop that they state is located in Savannah.

An agent called my elderly mother yesterday from a number in WI. The "agent" gave her addresses of said "customers' and said her name was Pamela Crawford from the social security administration, using a slight Spanish accent. She said Walmart left a number to "authorize a purchase" and said my mother had an account there. My mom then called the number they gave and then he put her through to an "agent" who said the call was being recorded and that the US Marshals offices as well as the FBI was on the line. She said my mom's information was being used for money laundering in Mexico, with addresses in Ohio, New York, Wisconsin, and Texas. They intimidated her by saying they would "let her off the hook" if she provided information...They asked her to verify her bank account numbers and social security numbers. She said they had a very professional demeanor and sounded legitimate.

I had ordered a product from AuraMalibu's website and the total was $14.90. The order confirmation on the website said $14.90 and I would be receiving an email confirmation. I never received an email confirmation and the credit card I used was charged $24.68. I had taken a screenshot of the web confirmation and contacted their customer support to inform them of the discrepancy in payment. They responded that after payment their system runs a final carrier review and if the shipping tier selected doesn't meet carrier requirements it's automatically upgraded to the next best option to keep delivery smooth and protected. I replied that the confirmed total was $14.90 and needed to be contacted if the total was going to be more. I replied several times asking for updates and never received anymore replies. I reported this to the credit card company and they refunded the full amount that I was originally charged ($24.68). I did later received the product I had ordered but never did get a reply from customer service about the additional shipping charges.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

A fraudulent company operating on Instagram (IG) poses as a boutique business run by a Caucasian white woman based in Washington, D.C., claiming to have over 30 years of boutique experience to establish false credibility with potential customers. The company runs targeted ads showcasing visually appealing merchandise, including hippie-style denim pants, dresses, and shoes with intricate designs, luring buyers with stylish imagery that misrepresents the actual products. Once an order is placed, the product takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks to arrive, and when I reached out to inquire about the shipping status, a representative named "Sara" from customer service advises them to "be patient" but fails to provide any tracking information or the name of the logistics company handling the shipment, creating a deliberate lack of transparency to delay complaints and prevent further investigation. Upon finally receiving the product, I discovered that the style and material do not match the online description or the images advertised, confirming the transaction as a clear case of fraudulent misrepresentation and deceptive business practices designed to exploit unsuspecting online shoppers.
