My husband made an order on July9 that we never received. Their contact messages sent by us were returned undeliverable. My husband is taking care of this with the credit card company. Just a warning to anyone thinking of ordering from these people, who are located in China, BTW.

The credit card company is going to refund the charge and do an investigation into that website/"company". If they try to make any charges on our account, we will be notified. If needed we will get a new card and number.....we'll see. They said situations like this are usually a one shot deal/scam.

Too many scammers out there via telephone, internet, etc. So sad that we always have to be on guard. :(
 

OTOH, here's a happier story. I got an email from my credit card bank, asking if I had really purchased an item that cost some smallish amount, about $49.95. It was charged to my credit card. It doesn't say what the item was, of course, but it does give the name of the company, which I had never heard of.

I told them no, and they said to call the number on my credit card and report it as a fraud. I wonder how they spotted it? It wasn't as if it was a big charge jumping out at them.

I did report it as a scam, and immediately got a refund on my credit card. So I guess the banks are now flagging chronic offenders and warning their customers.

The ad is still on Google in my opening page. I thought that price was way to low so I decided to check for scam. The answer is it's a scam. They use pics from other sites, they show shipping as exceeding normal precaution for spoilage.

One of those if it sounds to good to be true It's worth checking.

Easy solution, don't use Microsoft Edge, use Firefox, Chrome or Brave.
Not to mention: toss those "homepages", they're so 1990s-ish. You can set whatever homepage you want, I use Google search, or Duckduckgo as my homepage.
It never fails, anything Microsoft is involved with always seem to draw scammers,spammers or some kind of malware. :rolleyes:

Absolutely agree. I looked for it today and was able to close it, and leave a comment on why I didn't like the ad. I said it was a scam. I think Google will also be looking into this and banning that ad from showing, we'll see.

My computer came with Microsoft Edge, but my start page and homepage is Xfinity, my ISP. I also have and user Firefox. Currently I'm using Google search, as I did not like Bing at all.
