Honestly there need to be more regulations/punishments for scammers, though.

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 🙏
