I ordered a chain saw and was sent a weird saw string thing that was not as pictured.  , Phoenix, AZ, USA

Phoenix, Arizona, United States

I ordered a wood cutter, chain saw, rechargeable on 3/18/21.  The linked showed up on Facebook.  I did not receive my chain saw.  Apparently the company, Amphitrite Technology Limited has been scamming people all year.  It wasn’t until I found your website that I realized I had been sent this weird chain, hand cutter.  There are many pictures posted on your site of the same product.  I had no idea why this thing came to me.  I did not think it was a “replacement” or substitute for the little chain saw that was rechargeable.   

I can see there are several posts about the same problem. What can be done? Why has PayPal continued to allow the seller to sell? What can you do? What can I do, to stop others from the company”s fraud?

I purchased through PayPal; directly after this purchase my bank notified me that someone tried to buy a cell phone. What happens next? With so many reports of fraud, why hasn’t the seller been reported to officials? What can you do? What can I do on my part? I contacted PayPal. The company should be blocked from selling

Solution: stop buying directly from Chinese companies. Only buy from American sellers.

Do

I never order anything seen on Facebook. I had a similar experience with shoes. Faacebook needs to write something in big letters saying not to trust any of their advertisers

I only buy from local sellers on facebook in my particular area. I've been buying on facebook for years that way, and haven't had a problem. You have to really be wary about cars, though, because they try to trick you that they are local, and a private seller.

Associated with a company that does a bait and switch on products and then refuses to refund. Can’t even find the originating company- they are using different t names.

Same.

With the arrival of spring, there's a rise in international travelers approaching residents with offers of home improvement work. Historically, Boston residents have spent substantial amounts—up to tens of thousands of dollars—on services like masonry, driveway paving, chimney, basement, roofing, and fence repairs, often ending up with … See More
further damage or negligible improvements. Initially quoted at around $1,500 for paving or masonry work, these scams can quickly spiral, with claims of foundation damage leading to costs of $20,000 to $30,000 for structural engineering consultations. To avoid falling prey to such scams, residents are advised to be vigilant. Common tactics employed by these scammers include::

· Door-to-Door Solicitation – Paper flyers with uninspired business names (A1 Paving, City & Town Paving, etc.)

· Will offer discounts because of “left over materials” from neighborhood jobs

· High Pressure – will exaggerate need for work to be done immediately

· After initial work may show threatening or intimidating demeanor

· They will ask checks be made out to them individually and not the company name

Residents should know many of these individuals are traveling to the US under a program that DOES NOT allow them to work during their 90-day visit. Most of the scammers identified are traveling from Ireland and the United Kingdom. Residents are also reminded much of the work being done by these scammers require City of Boston Building Permits. In addition, the companies are not registered with the City or State and may have a recently established website.

Any unknown person approaching you to do ANY work on your home should be viewed as a potential scammer. Residents who feel they have been victimized should contact their local police district and provide as much information as possible including vehicles and plates.

Remember, for any work on your property you should obtain a minimum of two estimates from reputable companies who will carry the appropriate insurance, licenses, apply for the appropriate permits and provide references and coverage to you for their work after completion.
