506 thoughts on “A new type scam on Facebook”

1. Hello, my sister said she saw an ad on Instagram where they sell Jewelry and other type of accessories. I ordered twice from them, two separate orders/people, and they gave out tracking info and other stuff which seemed legit but today June 22 their website says “The shop is unavailable.” Can anyone confirm if this is indeed a scamming site and they were taken down and if I can get my money back? I paid using a debit card.

   • It always depends how you paid. If paypal then your chance is very good. If credit card you need to file a dispute with your bank. In either case, good luck!

     • If you paid by Paypal you can file a dispute via Paypal.com – have you tried that?

   • Be persistent with your bank. You got scammed, your bank can help if they want to.

5. Stupidly “purchased” patio furniture via Facebook ad. Debit card dinged by something called technigadgets.net. No e-mail confirmation; no goods; no sign of furniture on product list on Technigadgets’s website. Caveat emptor?

   • You need to file a dispute with your card company/bank as soon as possible. Your chances to get the money back is not too bad.

7. I was scammed before christmas, luckily I got my money back through paypal but I hope I can help others not go through the same thing.

   I had two of the same ad pop up from different websites, both set up exactly the same. Advertising a switch and three games for 100$
   The first one I didn’t save but the second was councilth.store, the ‘About us’ is always the same with these scammers, copy and pasted. The two I seen today had ‘fixthed.store’ in the about us instead of the website, scammers getting sloppy maybe?

   I’ll save this website for any future scams I find!

   • Found another one, again advertising a Nintendo Switch. ‘Shoptimized’ with the address https://shineiy.com

     And in the ‘about us’ its admin@eoyrsdw.com

9. Why can we not make Facebook accountable for these ads.?.

   • Try to get in touch with somebody from Facebook – impossible! Everything is automated. With Shopify you get a reply once in a while, but they seem to have no interest to stop the scams. I believe it’s just one person or group that does all those scams. They are all very similar, products are often the same too. Should be very easy to block them right after creation. But they seem not to care. Next step would be of course to refer all fraud domain to law enforcement, but I doubt they do that too.

     So somewhere, most likely in China, somebody is creating about 10 MyShopify.com each day for a healthy income. It’s quite sickening.

    • Even if you report, it’s a waste of time. Their normal response is the that the ad is not against their TOS.

    I’m not buying anything from ads on facebook and especially from Shopify. This is a load of crap and the specific store that advertises to me will only be active for maybe 24-48 hours and then disappear. So they take your money and destroy any way for you to find them.

    • You are right, the link is dead already.

15. I should have known better. Christmas Day sale. My sister warned me it was “too good to be true” but I forged ahead. At least I’m getting a life lesson.

    Original Shopify store: uinjkkfkds.myshopify.com.
    E-mail in “Order Confirmation”: mygoodone.servise@gmail.com (which is what I searched to find this page).
    Linked to “Kirikomade.com” but I think they were using that as a “cover store” somehow. Also linked to “sonnetjames.com” and “8ball.co.uk” when I tried to follow-up on the order. All those had the same e-mail address as above.

    Also, my bank will not begin the dispute process unless I cancel my debit card first. I am traveling in the near future, so cannot wait for replacement. Will keep it blocked until I use it and then get a new one when I get back from traveling and follow-up on the dispute process.

27. July 2019: Fake sellers have set up Sopify.com shops and advertise on Facebook:
    2019 Best – A Light And Compact Camper
    and
    Self-sustainable microhome

    Obviously, Facebook does not screen their advertisers – charging the fee is all they care about. Be careful with any online purchases, especially through Facebook advertisements.

    Reply

    • Since they are scammers, I wonder if Facebook is actually getting the ad fees, I presume they are most likely get scammed too.

      What is deplorable is the Facebook reporting system. You report a scam, and the usual reply is “We checked it and it’s not violating our terms of service”. Of course you never get a reply by a person.

    • You need to ask your bank for help and ask them the cancel that transaction. The scammer will not give you a refund, they lie.

41. Voici les mails envoyés à Dealroomshop, aujourd’hui sans réponse

    Par le biais de vos services j’ai acheté une montre smart Watch connecté qui ressemble fortement à la Samsung gear s3 au prix de 39,90 $ (pub sur candy crush saga). J’ ai reçu une montre YUNTAB Y1 que l’on trouve à partir de 7 euros et surtout qui n’a rien à voir avec le modèle que vous présentez dans la pub et la photo qui apparaît dans le suivi de la commande.
    J’ose espérer que c’est une erreur et que vous ne manquerez pas de la rectifier

    • You will certainly not get a Samsung Gear S3 watch, if you are really lucky may get a cheap China crap watch. Sorry for the bad news.

    • I don’t have the complete website – it would be great if you can add that. But just from the name and my gut feeling I believe your £22 are gone and you will not get anything.
