I received an ad for a "free kabuki makeup brush" on a YouTube video. Since the ad was hosted on YouTube, I trusted it. I clicked the ad to the website and checked it out. There was no evidence that the business was fraudulent. They sold other merchandise such as T-shirts and Makeup supplies. I ordered the free makeup brush that was offered. I was charged $5.95 on my credit card for shipping fees. This was on October 10th, 2017. I never received the advertised product. I clicked the support link in my email to find that the webstore doesn’t exist any longer. I send an email to their "support" email, which also no longer exists. I have no product and am worried that they have the credit card information of myself and many others.

They state you can get a free 22,000 bristle kubuki brush if you pay shipping of $5.95. I try to email them to check on my status and it came back undeliverable.

I came across an ad on Instagram about a free kabuki makeup brush, with the cost of shipping ($5.95). I looked up some YouTube videos on the business and the product to see if it was a scam. I watched several videos (most seemed sketchy), but I assumed that because these people did receive their product that it was ok to order. When I submitted my payment (the cost of shipping), I received a confirmation email with an order number. Some days later, I received an email saying that I would be notified again when my item shipped. It has almost been a month and I have yet to receive an email confirmation of the product shipping. So, earlier today, I went to their website to contact support (email: [email protected]). However, I immediately received a response in my inbox notifying me that the email address was not real. I tried again and made sure that I did not have any typos in the email address. I received the same notice in my inbox. To make a long story short, the website is a scam. There is no other contact information on the website. However, in the bottom right corner of the main page, it says that the page is powered by Shopify. The website insinuates that the business is located in Seattle, Washington. However, there is no available address, or phone number to prove it. There are two other items available for sale on the website (a hoodie and a shirt), and there is the constant "sale" going on that if you hurry up and purchase the item in the period of time shown on the dial, that you will get an awesome deal. With the shirt order, it says that you get a free kabuki brush, and with the hoodie order, it says that you get a free 24-piece makeup kit. I believe that it is all a scam, so please do not fall for their "deals".

This was a website advertised to me on a YouTube video. Typical free with shipping "deal". I ordered my item on October 2 and it’s now the 12 and the update on my order has not changed from my email. I emailed the contact info which came back as a non-existent email address. I then went to their website and there’s only one other item for sale. I looked at their refund policy and the address to ship back items to receive a refund is some random dumpy house in Seattle. There’s no phone number and no way to contact them at all. The website is JuneSeattle.com registered under Tuscow Domains Inc.
