Receipt of a Suzhichou horse scarf not ordered, Saratoga County, NY, USA

New York, United States

I received this Suzhichou scarf on 6/10 and did a search on the name and item and found an article called the Suzhishou Scarf Scam on the makeuseof.com website. It was also from Aylen Amador, Tukwila WA as others have mentioned. On 5/2 I ordered some outdoor furniture from a company site called iranna.com. Somehow I ignored every warning sign of this too good to be true opportunity and jumped in. Within 10 minutes of ordering I was on the phone with my credit card company trying to cancel telling them I believe that the site was a scam and wanted to cancel the purchase. They told me that they already approved it and the purchase was pending so they could not do anything. I'd have to wait and cancel with the vendor or call back and dispute the charge once it showed up on the account if I didn't receive the item. I waited and received nothing and check the tracking number regularly and the truck position on the map never moved. I then called my CC company who contacted the "business" and was able to obtain a refund on my card. When I received this scarf and read the article mentioned above, I checked the Tracking Number of the scarf and it matched the tracking number of the outdoor furniture ordered in May. While my CC company did get my money back I will be contacting the CC company to cancel and replace my card just in case this company will try to charge the card again since they did complete a shipment using the tracking number they provided for the furniture. I recommend looking up the MOU article and following the steps they suggest, and requesting a replacement card to ensure your CC number is not going to be charged by any scammers if it is being shared. Good luck everyone. I could kick myself for falling for this scam.
