Total money lost $166.11
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I saw an add on Facebook for the Official NFL Shop "Official Online Store" they appear to sell Jersey’s for a very good price $34.99 when originally priced $149.00. On Black Friday I thought this was a deal for the day so I rushed to purchase them since it was getting close to midnight.
I purchased 4 Jerseys and the total with $20.00 Shipping Charges was $159.96.
I never received a confirmation email so when I checked my bank account the next day I noticed a charge on my bank account for a total of $166.11 a different amount then what I had authorized. It was also under a different name. "NCHS Alpha Tech" is what showed up on my bank statement.
When I went back to their website and logged into my account I see that my payment was obviously received.
I called my bank to report fraud since the amount I authorized was different than what they had charged me account.
I looked at their FAQ and found the following statement:
"11. Why do you charge my card more than your product price?
We only receive the product price. The extra money may be charged by the blank as the blank fee. Hope you understand."
It’s not my typo it really does say "Blank as the Blank Fee" That indicated to me instantly this is a bogus site.
The day after I placed this order I saw another add on Facebook.

This site looks exactly the one I made my purchase from…

I have also looked them up on the Whois.com site and found this website to be registered to a person out of the country and recent on 11/7/15. Looks like they created it just in time for Black friday Deals.
