Counterfeit Product - Gratiaful.com

Stole my credit card info, sent garbage items, then refused to give me any sort of refund or return of any kind, even though it’s listed on the site. Complete scam. I thought the price bracket of the items was an indicator of quality and that it might not be dropshipped like so many sites are now. Completely wrong. One of the items was LITERALLY LABELLED WITH A PRICE DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE I PAID FOR THE ITEM. I paid over $50 for it and it had a sticker saying it was worth $4.50. And two of the items were COMPLETELY different. They refused to even give me a way to return, kept evading how to return, stole over $100 from me because no one had written warnings about this site yet when I was looking into it.

Employment

She claims she is deaf and can't talk on the phone. Moving from Albany, NY to Royal Oak, MI. Wanted me as a professional organizer to let all the moving and deliveries companies in to use their products and put everything away. Can't pay until her husbands company gets reimbursed. There were too many red flags so I called the president of our NAPO Michigan Chapter and she said others received the same email to the other professional organizers in our chapter and our NAPO,net headquarters. She did send out a warning email and Alison has not replies back. She was very detailed with her email to sound convincing.

Worthless Problem-solving Service

An executive assistant to an emailed us to confirm that an individual called Amanda Walker worked for us. She does not, nor do we know who she is. The assistant let us know that Amanda Walker had reached out to the author about featuring her book in Bookshop Santa Cruz and arranging events. Again, Amanda Walker is a complete stranger and has no affiliation whatsoever with Bookshop Santa Cruz, but is posing as our manager and using an email address deliberately designed to suggest a connection with us ([email protected]). Our General Manager reached out to walker asking her to stop posing as employee, and in response received an email from someone called Stephanie Morelli insisting that no deception was intended--which, is impossible given the explicit misrepresentation. Three other individuals have reached out saying that Amanda Walker, posing as a representative for Bookshop Santa Cruz had contacted them attempting a similar scam.

It was an email popup through a trusted vendor, with "winning" a ***** ****** chair for the cost of S&H. Then CC was charged $19.48. When I called the number on my bank statement, I was told that I "signed up" for a monthly raffle entry, and would be charged monthly unless I cancelled. I immediately cancelled, and then asked for refund. Was told 30% would be refunded. When I threatened to report them, they said they'd refund 50%. I received a refund email confirmation (with no vendor information, except the sending email address). We'll see if I actually get the refund in the next 2-5 days.

Online Purchase

Fake website ad on social media. The website itself looks legit. Shipping stated 5-7 days, but no product after a month. A tracking company was also used with fake information. There is no way to contact the company or request a refund. Now this company has my personal information and credit card info. After looking them up, they were showing on a scam site.
