Facebook Scam, Houston, TX, USA

Houston, Texas, United States

My “snake bite” experience began with a Facebook ad.

Ads on Facebook are numerous, appear well documented and can be traps.
I fell for the usacomfy. cloths trap, spent $52.47 ordering what looked like an appealing looking shirt.

I’ve learned that this misinformation site (USAcomfycloths. com) is lie after lie. Their site claims money back protection, fast shipping and safe check-out. Not true!

I believe usacomfycloths attempts to profit by plastering USA motifs on their site plus a United States flag is featured in advertising. The clothing is apparently not USA produced (probably from China judging from the shoddy fabric and construction) with their Chinese links. The transit- tracking. hub messages claimed order came from Cavan, Ireland and their supposed “fast” shipping took around 46 days. When queried re: delay concern, was informed that tariff changes were responsible for slow shipping. (ordered 4/3/25 -delivered 5/19/25)

As for the money back protection, my Visa charge, was transferred to their PayPal, account. Researching I learned that PayPal is not likely to reimburse charges under any circumstance. After contacting merchant, usacomfy. cloths about dissatisfaction, their “goodwill” response was to offer a $4.00 reimbursement!!

The order’s plastic bag packaging was labeled Grmando Oteroy out of Lawrenceville, GA. Did more online research to discover scam after scam from disgruntled people who had bad experiences with them. Turns out that Gmando Oteroyis also located in other states.

Scam Detector’s algorithm gives this business the following rank: 13. 4/100. Scam Dectector says - Our low trust score leans toward “yes." on scam. “On usacomfy. cloths our in-depth review is based on 53 powerful factors we aggregated to expose high-risk activity.”

Then malwaretips. com lists usa comfycloths as a scam operation.
“On the surface, UsaComfycloths. com appears to be a legitimate online retailer selling various discounted items to shoppers at prices significantly lower than major retailers. However, in reality, UsaComfycloths. com is a scam website that engages in deceptive tactics to trick customers into placing orders and handing over their money or sensitive personal information. Scammers behind UsaComfycloths. com use spam emails and social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to promote the site and lure in victims. This fraudulent site uses incredibly low prices and stolen product images to entice unsuspecting shoppers. Once victims place orders and submit payment information, the scammers simply take the money and run. Customers are left with one of the following outcomes: Knock-off or inferior substitutes – Victims may receive cheap replicas made with poor-quality materials thatdo not match the original product descriptions.
This is really scary! On top of selling sham goods or no goods at all, UsaComfycloths. com also unscrupulously collects customers’ personal and financial data during checkout, including full names, home addresses, phone numbers, credit card details, and more. This information is likely used or sold for nefarious purposes like identity theft, credit card fraud, or sharing on dark web marketplaces. Our research indicates UsaComfycloths. com is likely part of a larger interconnected scam network based in China. This network operates countless fake online retail sites with the sole intent of defrauding customers.
After filing complaint an unsolicited e-mail ad for zealburst arrived, which displays the exact order I originally placed to usacomfycloths. It is apparently another name for an arm of usacomfycloths. Again zealburst. com has a very low trust score which indicates that "there is a strong likelyhood the website is a scam. Be very careful when using this website!"
