Type of a scam Online Purchase
ONLINE PURCHASE OF A SMALL CHILDS TOY WEIGHT APPROX 1 POUND. DURING THE ONLINE PURCHASE I SELECTED ONE ITEM. DURING THE TRANSACTION THE WEB INCREASED THE PURCHASE TO TWO ITEMS. DURING THE PAYMENT SELECTION, I SELECTED THE USE OF VISA. THEY MOVED THE PAYMENT TO PAYPAL. I TRIED TO CALL THEM, ICHEAP, AND EMAILED THEM TO CHANGE AND CANCEL THE ORDER. WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT. PHONE – OUT OF SERVICE AND EMAIL ADDRESS REJECTED. UPS SHIPPING INFORMATION WAS SENT WITH A TRACKING NUMBER. ITEM COULD BE TRACKED AND UPS SUPPLIED A DELIVERY NOTICE. NEVER RECEIVED ANY PACKAGES. UPS INDICATES THAT THERE WERE TWO (2) TRACKING NUMBERS – BOTH SUPPOSEDLY DELIVERED. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ITEM PURCHASED WAS A SMALL CHILDS SET OF SMALL PLASTIC FIGURES – WEIGHT LESS THAN ONE (1) POUND. THE UPS TRACKING INDICATED THAT THE ITEM WEIGHED 16.60 POUNDS! I CHECKED THE ADDRESS INDICATED ON THE WEBSITE, 1133 E. MAPLE ROAD, TROY, MI 48083. THE LOCATION SHOWS A D&D AUTO PARTS STORE. I CALLED THE ATO PARTS STOPRE AND THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ICHEAP STORE IN THAT LOCATION. I CHECKED WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THEY HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS IN THEIR FILE AS WELL AS A STATEMENT – "BELIEVED TO BE OUT OF BUSINESS". ScamPulse.com – SENT A LETTER TO ICHEAP ON 11/06/2019 WAS RETURNED BY THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS "ATTEMPTED-NOT KNOWN".

Ordered item off internet website, paid with PAYPAL, company sent PAYPAL tracking number through UPS so payment went through. Item was never delivered. The information they gave UPS was bogus name and address. UPS believes it is scam Since then I have looked at reviews online for the website and this seems to be the same scam used on others
