Description

My Dad ordered a bed comforter and curtains from a website called Freshouse adding $160. It was SUPPOSED to be a Christmas gift, he ordered it on December 3rd, and still hasnt recieved it. It has tracking number but no phone number and the email said [email protected], but it was no help. Supposedly it went thru paypal, then to the company. Another email address we saw was [email protected], and that was who the paypal went to first supposedly. Well that email address said this website was possibly a scam.
