Read this please –

I was so excited to find a less popular NFL player jersey on this website.

http://www.0595b.com/

I paid $40 for the jersey (a incredibly low price, usually $80). Normally I would recognize that the too good to be true scheme really was too good to be true, but I suppose in the heat of the moment I disregarded it and blew the money all away.

I have tried e-mailing the guy twice, the first time he told me it would take 5-7 days to ship. That was about two weeks ago.
Then a week ago I asked him what was up and he said the jersey was out of stock and he sent me a stock list (phony? – idk.)
But I looked at it and decided I didn’t want any jerseys and now I want a refund.
And conveniently, he hasn’t responded to my e-mails since then, even though his store has a refund policy.

It is pretty clear that his site is a scam, because I wrote a ton of bad reviews, and now they have been all deleted.

What do I do?

How did you pay for this item? If it was through a credit card you can contact your credit card and tell them you’ve already tried to get a refund from the seller but that they are ignoring your correspondence. Then the credit card will credit your money back and take the matter up themselves.

In the future, don’t make rush decisions. Scams are designed to take advantage of human ignorance. Don’t play the part of the fool.

My husband just got scammed online when he tried to buy a snowmachine. Your best bet is to notify the police – state/province, rather than just city/town, and provide them with copies of your communication with the scam artist (emails, etc.).

Good luck :)
