Description

Ad selling handmade metal birdhouse garden stakes by disabled veteran. Order ended up being tracked from China. Return address is JANE 3 Lincoln Drive Fairfield, NJ 07004. Cannot contact with any phone number, never provided. Only email address at [email protected] They do not want to refund money as shipment received was damaged and nothing like the item that was advertised. Ad was thru Facebook to order. Checked the website they advertise is NVBDC.org and a phone number but that is for the National Veteran Business Development Council not affiliated with supposedly this disabled vet that was to make handmade metal birdhouse garden stake. I contacted the email address with photos and explaining the damaged product and that it is not as pictured in the advertisement. Very misleading and deceiving ads as you think you are helping a disabled vet with a handmade item he is selling where in fact it's a cheap looking knock off that doesn't even come close to the advertised product.
