Seen advertisement on facebook. Someone posted pictures of pools for steal. Click on the pics and it went to website called www.golekbabys.com which is almost identical to another website reported on here with same thing. They had expensive above ground pools listed for $89 and $98 and promised free shipping. At top of website it was listed to be an anniversary sale. After purchasing, I never received a receipt from that day and never. After the initial purchase..it wouldn't let me login in to that website again to see about the pool i purchased the process of shipping. The website only had a contact link of an email that looked very generic and didn't have an email from a company email. Well when i purchased it though paypal. On the paypal account from that site it had a person's name which was odd to me. Most of the time it has the business's name on there. After not receiving no email receipts. No shipping info for few days. It all started coming together in my mind as a scam. So I started the process of trying to get my money back through paypal. Which was a pain in the rear end. I had to jump through hoops and several hours over several different days to get it back. Thank God i got it back. But if this website was legitimate business it wouldn't been so long. The problem was that this website had no contact info but a name on paypal account. How does paypal even let that happen? Well paypal wants you to contact them first with their info. There wasn't any info there. So, I had to argue that for days with paypal over messages and phone calls. Shorter story, paypal filed claim cause I couldn't, he responded said he would refund, paypal said they were reviewing it, he canceled echeck refund, paypal sent me email addressed to him to refund me my money, I messaged paypal about it, talked to several paypal associates, all had different opinions like paypal never sent those emails, I finally had to show proof of it by submitting screenshots, I had to verify everything to them. Few days later i got my refund. I was determined to get it so i wasn't letting up until i did. I hate scammer's.
Tips on scamming websites that i will never buy from again.
1. Look up website on google. If no info or reviews in there then don't buy from it.
2. Look at contact info. Look for location of business, telephone number and email contact if possible. Look up business on google for same address, call the number and try email. IF they all don't work..don't buy. If all isn't present then don't buy.
3. If price is to good to be true then don't buy. I should have known on this one.
4. This website had products that had 5 star reviews on each that couldn't be read. Don't buy from website that you can't read reviews that are high or low for that matter.
