Total money lost $99
Type of a scam Online Purchase
My husband saw on Facebook Marketplace a storage shed for $99.00. I jumped on it right away as it said if the payment doesn’t go through, that means they’re sold out! I just purchased it on July 10, 2020 around 3:30pm and I just kept an eye on everything and noticed the website that printed out on my receipt. The name of the merchant was Phillip Mata and the company was sunxonline.com. I tried looking up Phillip Mata and I noticed there is no company with that name. I went into PayPal and looked at the order and it said it was shipped USPS. I know darn well the USPS doesn’t ship anything over 70 pounds and this thing was 500 pounds! It was an 8×20 plastic shed. Pay Pal said it was shipped July 11th and I got an email on the 11th saying it was shipped with a tracking number. I searched the tracking number and it said it was delivered on the 10th in the mailbox at 12:34, the day I ordered it I supposedly received it before I purchased it! There is no contact info for this company just a contact of [email protected] I then went to my email and noticed another contact of [email protected] with the same merchants name Phillip Mata. I went online to sunxonline and looked at the website. There wasn’t much to look at but I did find tabs for terms and I don’t think this person is of this country or they need to be schooled on how to write in a complete sentence. A lot of grammatical errors and nowadays companies aren’t that dumb! The printout I got for a receipt was very informative and looked professional. I figured it was CoViD related business decision to rid the old product and make room for the new product. Nothing was adding up and I just felt like a fool!
