I did also
What should I do
I have a friend in Alabama who just got the same
I just went through the exact same thing (same address as well) with a website called claimcy.com. I disputed my charges on my credit card and they are supposed to issue me a credit to my account... It was approved right away so makes me think they are completely aware of this scam.. I also googled the company name and they defiintely come up as a scam. I reported them to the FTC and put a temporary freeze on my credit reports for safety... Up to a year. I recommend you do the same!

I think these two incidents are connected. The Chinese company actually sent a product [fake ring] instead of all the clothing I order from claimcy.com. The fake company sends the ring so you have a tracking number. Very clever! I fell for it. I will dispute charges on credit card.
Hi, I'm a freelance journalist working on a potential story about this. If open to chatting, can you send me an email? hello (at) amanda florian (dot) com?
Must both be related. Happened to me too!
Received one as well- does anyone see an unauthorized charge? I don’t see one…
I also got a ring I did not order. I'm thinking it might be related to a scam Facebook ad. Around Black Friday I tried ordering Judy Blue jeans through a Facebook ad. When I received confirmation of my order it was from a website that didn't match where I thought I ordered from. I immediately contacted them telling them to cancel my order and refund. I did get the refund. I also immediately cancelled the card used for the transaction. I'm hopeful cancelling the card prevents any further charges associated with this. I've seen another post on this recommending not to scan the QR code on the enclosed card as it may take you to a site to try and capture more information.

I did the same thing, dang fake Judy Blue! And waited a month and got this stupid ring.
