Counterfeit Product - Michael and Claire Vancouver

The business, when you google things like "women's dresses canada" or "women's dresses local", comes up as an advertised business and both the website and images look very legitimate and very "local". There is even the word "Vancouver" in the header. There is text on the page about "moving" so there are sale prices in place. It all looks very legit. So I placed an order for two items on the site. The products arrived and they were laughably not close to the images online. To the point where the fabric looks like a photocopy of a photocopy (very weird and distorted and faded prints), and the fabric is not cut like a beautiful dress such as in the CLEAR pictures on a model, but looks more like a burlap sac (square, weird neckline and none of the same detail). It took our breath away it was so cheap. Very quickly I realized we'd been taken. I contacted the vendor, sent pictures and it became clear it was a company from China. They immediately offered me a credit of something like 10% refund, or in-store credit and I could "keep the items" (the items, by the way are useless and could perhaps be scraps or dish clothes). I declined and said I would like to return them for a full refund. It went back and forth for about a week in terms of them offering a few % higher each time (their delay in responding each day is because of course they are in China and I am on the west coast of Canada, where their "store" was supposed to have been. They even have a warehouse address on the lower mainland, but that is also not legitimate. FINALLY they said ok you can return them to this address in China (!!) but if we don't get them back within 30 days of the order, you get nothing (OR if they deem the items to be less than perfect condition). By this point it was too late to get anything to China and would have cost more than the items are worth!! You have to pay for all shipping and brokering to return the items. Their final offer to me was 35% refund. I ended up exasperated and had to just take it. I didn't want to but felt trapped. THIS IS THE SCAM. They are likely banking on everyone wanting a refund and settling for a percentage back. So their profit each time is at least 65-75% of the total amount paid. Pretty good and plausible scam if you ask me. We were utterly gutted and then had to scramble to actually find items locally to buy for a wedding. Anyway, I want everyone to know that this website (and company/vendor) is a total and complete SCAM. Do NOT ORDER FROM THEM!

I made my order and they shipped it through an illegitimate shipping company and the delivery driver stole it. I don’t have issues in my building with stolen packages and i check for the package literal SECONDS after i got the delivered notification. They staged the delivery and used a fake label on the lobby door instead of bringing it to my actual door. I filed a a complaint for investigation with the shipping company and they never contacted me back. So i contacted Micas and asked for my money back and they sent me to the another illegitimate company that i apparently paid for shipping protection and they’re also giving me the run around. Micas is saying there’s nothing they can do and it’s a total loss.

On July 14th, I was called to Amazon to get some help on setting up a box, one of their boxes for Alexa. And I got on the site and I went through, well I was thinking of going through their system to get some help on setting up that box I had. And they eventually transferred me to someone else and I thought it was still within their system and whoever did it sent me to a scammer. So I bought an insurance protection on the internet for the system while they helped me set up my buy box. They actually gave me a service, but they got information from me. I looked at the scam tracker system and found their phone number. There's not much information on them and I don't have much either.

They offered an online class for $110.00 but when filling out the form which your were rushed to do before the offer ended, in a small box which was prechecked said that the classes would be billed monthly at $110.00. I never saw the prechecked box and they refuse to refund the money. Their class gave just enough information that I was able to go to Youtube and learn from other photographers there, how to use the settings that they mentioned. The class was non informative. I was glad that I didn't pay $1,200 for the full course, not knowing that I was being billed monthly. The customer service that refers to herself as a "Rockstar", told me that if I had not talked to my credit card company that they would have been willing to "work with me" whatever that means. She was rude and tried my patience. She informed me that the credit card company would pay her, and they did. Please stay away from this company. Youtube is free and actually teaches you how to use your camera. I am so ashamed that I threw $330 out of the window. David Molnar Photo Santa Rosa is a fraud. They don't teach but cleverly rush you through a form that you might just miss the box agreeing to a monthly charge.

They also tried to convince me to use a different airport than the one I originally had the tickets for. But they could not confirm my flight until I gave them more money and paid extra for baggage. They were very hard to understand (heavy foreign accent) and at this point I realized this was a “bait and switch” scheme. I wanted them to cancel my reservations but was told it was non-refundable.

Counterfeit Product - Nordstrom impostor / Damin Living

Product description: "Women Cross Wrap Draped Cowl Neck Knit Pullover, Loose Long Sleeve Sweater" represented on shopping site entitled "Nordstrom". The representation was indicative of quality stylish products that Nordstrom sells. It was a clearance item, priced at $39.95. 30-day satisfaction guarantee with Money Back, along with "Authentic Guarantee" were posted on the site. Product was ordered 9/15/2026 with an expected shipping within 48 hours. I used PayPal to protect my payment identity. Started receiving delay notifications for shipping. When the product finally arrived, it was textured polyester fabric with a tight turtleneck and tight sleeves. The counterfeit product did not even resemble the published style of the draped sweater. I immediately contacted the customer service department to arrange for my money-back guarantee. Negotiations then started coming from the [email protected], with first a 20% discount due to the extreme costs of returning the product, which I would need to pay. I refused, then received a 40% discount. I again refused and now emails are coming from [email protected]. I am still fighting for my full money-back guarantee. The product must be returned to China for the refund to be effective. I do not trust that even with taking that step my money will be returned. I see that "Talbots" is now being used to market similar products on the internet. Do not trust theses top branding names that are being used to misrepresent counterfeit products. Go to Nordstroms.com or Talbots.com directly! You will not find these counterfeit offerings on the real websites.

I ordered 170 koozies back at the beginning of MAY. Paid her the same day ($170) via Zelle. I had to reach out multiple times in order to even get an update. Which I now know were lies. She just kept pushing the shipping date out further and further. At first it was 4-6 weeks from order date. Then when I reached out in the middle of June, she stated they would be shipped “early july.” Middle of july comes around, still nothing. Reached out for an update, said it would go out “next week.” 10 days later i’m sending a message to ask for an update again. Said she was waiting on UPS to pick it up. Asked for a tracking number and it was excuse after excuse. She then gave me a tracking number and after 2 weeks she said “UPS misplaced the package.” She said on August 26th she would remake the order and would have it sent out in at least 2 weeks. After multiple attempts of reaching out to her, she ghosted me. Requested a refund on 9/23/2026 and she said it would be 7-10 business days for it to be refunded. Her promised date of refund was 10/07/2026. Now, on 10/8/2026, we still have not received a refund.

I ordered a dress, when it was weeks past the estimated delivery date, I emailed the support email asking for a refund. The response was that the dress was on the plane and it would be extremely costly to cancel at this point. Then, a week later I got an email stating the dress got stuck in customs and they resent me the dress. I responded saying I already asked to cancel the order since the dress was arriving way later than the occasion that I purchased it for, why would they go ahead and resend it after I asked to cancel!? They said no way to cancel now. I received a dress that did not match the picture on the website. (The website had dress had red roses on it, the dress they sent just had red blurry blobs on it) They won't give me a full refund unless I pay to ship the dress back to an address in China. (they offered me a 30% refund if I kept the dress) When I took the package to the post office, I was told it would cost $22 (basically half the cost of the dress) to ship, and the address looked bogus so it probably wouldn't even get to the appropriate place. I told the support email this, why would I pay half the price of the dress to return it to a bogus email, they just told me they won't give me a refund until they receive it in the warehouse. There is no place to leave a review on their website. I think this is not even a real company and they are scamming people by sending low quality dresses and not honoring a return.
