I took for granted that ads are somehow legit on Facebook feed. You know the ones. #FANAUTHENTICSisaSCAM But I still got sucked-in when I saw these Seahawks leggings and ordered them November 5, 2016 thinking I’d get them to wear the remainder of the #NFL season. The website indicates #FANAUTHENTICSisascam fulfills orders in a couple of days so when I looked up the status of my order a week later to see the status as “unfulfilled,” I called to see the hold-up. What answered was a female voice forcing me to leave a message. #FANAUTHENTICSisaSCAM So, I called and left a message every day and never received a call-back. I contacted my bank yesterday to see if they could do a charge-back, but they filed a fraud investigation and gave me “temporary” credit. I was an investigator years ago for this type of situation, so I suspect, they’ll spend collectively less than a half hour calling the business phone numbers associated with the debit charge and maybe they’ll look at the website too. #FANAUTHENTICSisaSCAM What I found with my own investigation were a few legit sites listing hundreds of customer complaints citing never receiving orders: #BBB with an “F” grade, #RipoffReport, #ReportScam
Again, I took for granted that a scam would be on Facebook and with the pages of which I’m a fan, with #Seahawks fan pages being in my most followed, but limited list, I was ignorant of recognizing that these Seahawks leggings would show-up in my feed. Shame on me. With Christmas weeks away, my goal is to publicize my complaint so that people can avoid also getting duped by this bogus business. #FANAUTHENTICSisaSCAM
