Chakros.com scam?

I purchased an item on the Chakros.com website but when I got the PayPal receipt it had Chinese characters and a weird seller name not related to the website. I still haven’t received a receipt from the seller and feel this is a scam.

Should’ve looked to see if site was a scam before I ordered something. I too ordered and paid for items. Never got a receipt. Got a bad feeling so I emailed the “contact us”- no reply. The phone number doesn’t work either. Received an email with “tracking” for delivery. When you click on the tracking number it says the item was delivered May 12,2020. I ordered the item May 27th. How can an item be received before an order?? I tried email and phone numbers again. Same result- nothing. Sadly have to accept I too have been scammed.

Also Scammed - Rachel Ray Cookware set  Less than 1/2 the cost of everywhere else.  I should have known better.   Under 75.00   I was able to get the PayPal number from my credit card company that requested I attempt resolution with PayPal first    -- [Removed. Phone #s not permitted]nbsp; for those that also wish to call.

Good Luck everyone.

Same issue but with a bird feeder. The only thing I got was a tracking number from the Paypal confirmation email, says it was delivered on May 14th but the order wasn't even made until May 27th! I also cannot find the original listing and only get re-directed to a jewelry website when I look up Chakros. Did Paypal refund anyone's money on this? I just created a dispute.

If PayPal doesn’t make it right, I will no longer use them.  Been using them for decades.  I paid with checking account...is there any recourse if PayPal doesn’t?

That is why I use paypal. It is to protect you from scammers. I hope they follow thru. I took pics of the whole process with the seller I hope it will give them the evidence they need to stop providing services to them

I didn't print screen the website, which I now regret.  But I did keep the receipt and email sent to them.

The same thing happened to me. I order a Workbench that sells for $120, they had it for around $65. I thought it was legit also and coming from Philadelphia. I’ve tried many, many times to get in touch with them and never get a response. I hope PayPal will back this since so many people have been scammed by them. They have the information to find them.

i bought a hammock stand from them. paid with credit card thru paypal on 5/29. never received a receipt. wrote to 2 dif emails, call phone #, no response. On 6/2, i asked bank of america to refund payment. Chakros provided a tracking # to paypal that said the item had been delivered 6/2. pretty sure this company is a scammer

Just saw that my shipment shipped on June 3rd, but was delivered on the 2nd of June.  Back to the future baby!  Also, they are saying a weightlifting bench weighs only 3 pounds.  If someone could PM a number that I can talk to a real person regarding this, that would be great.

I called UPS with the tracking number that says delivered on 6/2 but they confirmed that the package wasn’t addressed to me or the correct address. Called paypal and they asked for a letter confirming this which UPS won’t do because I’m not the customer. UPS is willing to talk to PayPal but PayPal said they’re not going to call and need a letter instead. PayPal knows it’s a scam and yet they do nothing to help the customer. Shameful!!
