Just lost $80 to a company who copied another company’s website and just changed the url by a single character. Got hit by a targeted ad, I guess. I say the company is Chinese because their fake package tracking site is in Mandarin. This is undeniable proof. I must now forsake Dengism and denounce the Cee Cee Pee

    Funny you should mention that because I think I got scammed by a USA site posing to be a vape company? 10 days and no emails back about my order. Would rather my money go to the CPC rather than some scammer kulak in the states.

    I got scammed by a US realtor company that had job postings I applied to. I never heard back and got their ads in my email and at my house until I moved.

    Death to AmeriKKKa

    Some credit cards offer purchase protection, try contacting them to see if they’ll refund you

    Chinese tracking sites are some of the Tor-friendliest I've found. Official postal systems tracking sites are definitely NOT.

    (The actual scammer could be anywhere essentially/maybe it's useful info for someone)
