I have seen this story twice now, it's about fake websites stealing your holiday dollars. The site they chose to feature was a fake Hoka site, and about a woman who bought the shoes and got a cheap scarf. It is a newer version of an old scam, and hate to say my wife fell for it too. She saw some portable bunk beds that were perfect for when we travel and stay in hotels for the twins, for $99. Well a few weeks later we got an envelope with a rubber washer in it.
So I called my CC company and blocked the charges, only to find out later that they were reversed once again. The new scam is that they can show that they shipped something to you, even though it was not what your ordered, or even remotely resembling what it would have looked like in a box. I argued for about an hour, but since they have a shipping record, no charge back allowed. I gave up when the nice woman on the phone said she had done this twice herself, and even though she works for the CC company, she had to eat the charges too. Lesson here is I suppose be really wary when ordering from other countries, ours was of course from China, where everything is made!!!!
