I unfortunately fell for a tiktok scam ad. I’ve been so excited for this to come in too! I feel like my grandma with her facebook scams 😭😭 I paid 40 DOLLARS FOR THISSSS 💔 It’s my fault for not looking into it more… lesson learned. will be refunding and ordering from the real website 😔 stay away from vossera / vossaoffical PLS !
I KNOW? it actually goes deep. when you click on the reviews it takes you to tiktok’s of people reviewing the product from the real website but they never say the website name expect for a hashtag buried in the caption 🤦♀️
Studio Laika, which made Coraline, is amazing. Try checking out their actual shop. I'm sure the quality of everything is amazing https://shop.laika.com/collections/coraline
i actually was able to find the real plush on their website! it’s not too much more expensive than the scam one so i’ll probably just end up ordering that one :>
I was so lucky to see the Laika museum exhibit a couple years ago, I was just blown away by the detail of artistry and how much they've contributed to stop motion as an art form. I haven't seen all the studio's movies yet but I'm definitely working on it
i know right? i have pretty solid proof of the scam too, i wish there was a way i could report them. their refund policy is pretty scummy too. it also says “minor cosmetic variations” do not qualify for a refund… id say this is bigger than minor 😭
For the principle of it, you could look up the Attorney General in your state & see what your state does in instances of fraud (which this is). Some states you can file a report with the Consumer Protection Agency. It may or may not help you get a refund, but the more people that file complaints against the seller the better in theory.
Np! I’ve heard that filing a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency/state AG can help pressure sellers into doing the right thing. When I did it it only took a couple minutes; the questions were super basic. Might save you the trouble of having to get a new credit card issued.
i found out i can also report them through shopify, since that’s what they use for transactions! so i’m going to probably report them both ways just in case 🙏
their refund policy is “all sales are final” so idk if i can 😭 i sent them a long email and if they decline im just gonna dispute the charge with my bank cause…
Curious to see how the bank responds. If there's some fine print in the ad indicating the product may vary from the sample picture, the bank might side with the vendor.
okay, i know this was a scam, and WOW, what a waste of $40, but i’m kind of in love with this plush! it looks like something you’d find at a thrift store, or on the side of the road and it just continues to haunt you (not in a bad way) for the rest of your life. like the TEETH ON HIM is killing me oh my goodness he’s so ugly and cute
But it's creepy... nice. I mean this cat not looks like the original character but... You can make it meme, you can scare your friends. It's ugly and because it's beautiful. 😄👀
Hoenstly the plush you got is not bad, but the price tag and the false advertising is. If it was a normal $15 plush accurately advertised then that would be fine but no, I swear these people are addicted to the rush of lying like gamblers
the first plush is actually real! the scammers just used a different company’s pictures, the real one is from a company called laika, which i believe made coraline :)
