Online Retailer Sends Counterfeit, Forces Costly Return

A bbb report about a fake_shopping scam that cost someone $50.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Source: bbb | Scam Type: Fake_Shopping | Amount Lost: $50.0 | Date: April 09, 2026
They sent me a product that was not what I ordered and told me I can return it overseas to China. They gave me shipping instructions to return it and never said anything about me paying for the return, which they should have paid for. They also told me it could take up to months to get my refund. I hope they get legal justice for the scam, and justice for all the people they scammed.
