Type of a scam Online Purchase
I was initially contacted to purchase medicinal products through Instagram . I was told to go on the website and purchase my items. My total was 40$ + 30$ in shipping cost. I wanted to apply the promo they had on the website (25%) off my first order. Since there wasn’t a code I was told on the messages that they would refund me on the back end (when my package is delivered) or I could get more product. I opted for more product and was told that I could pay through cashapp, they never gave me an option to pay on the website or once I got the invoice. A few days later I received emails from a company called trans logic group (they were the ones shipping my product). They wanted $375 to ship my product discretely I thought it was extremely alarming but I was assured I get all my money back once the item was delivered. Then I got another email asking for $500+ Ato pay for a postage stamp that would also be refunded. I didn’t have that much so I paid via cash app (all the transactions were made to different peoples cash apps) $220 and was told I was good to go. The final straw came 4 hours before my package was supposed to be delivered that I needed to pay an additional 1,120 to ensure my item got to me. I told the person who I had been dming back and forth with that I wasn’t going to pay that and I wanted a refund at this point. That was this past Thursday and I have yet to receive any word on my refund. The “company” told me to text this guy names Jerry but all he is doing is trying to get me to send money back and forth through other peoples cash app and not actually refunding me
