Known scam on PayPal

[Robynnz1]

Why is PayPal allowing known scammers to take our money? I have recently purchased something that was immediately completed by the seller and not available for me to cancel the transaction. It showed a merchant that I wasn’t familiar with and on searching the PayPal community posts I see that quite a few people are saying it is a scam. Because this has already been posted and presumably drawn to PayPal’s attention why are they not protecting us from ongoing scamming? I particularly used PayPal for the payment thinking it would protect me but see they expect me to deal direct with the scammers first. I bought through Zeaqikstore but the payment went to <removed>. What does the community have to say? And what does PayPal have to say about continuing to allow identified scammers to continue to use their payment service?

Haha! This just happened to me as well. Also from an Instagram ad.

I bought a hanging monkey lamp pendant off https://zkvnb.myshoplaza.com/ (which has changed URLs a few times during this experience), and a couple weeks later I got this mannequin (also with the "valued at $20" label) in the mail. Same email address on my receipt: <removed>

Filing a dispute in the Resolution Center. We'll see how it goes.

This happened to me today! The website was pkpsp.top. I too ordered a monkey lamp.

I sent it back and got full refund, PayPal decided it for my favor. Shipping back cost me 26 dollars, but atleast I get 44 back and zeaqikstore gets nothing. 😂 Make sure you’ll get the shipping tracking code, you need to put it in the dispute when seller asks for item return.

Where did you send it too? I opened a dispute and I’ve been told to send it back but they gave me a address all in Chinese.

zeaqikstore <removed> Fujian <removed> CN Make sure you get the tracking code!

Best of Luck getting a refund. They want a return of the item first they send the address through the Paypal dispute portal - you a have a few days to respond or paypal closes the case automatically. You get a quote for the postage back to china and it would cost me £34.00 So you dont send it back and case is closed and the seller keeps your money. This is not the protection I would expect from a seller when these guys are known fraudsters. Be Very Carefull when using paypal you are not as protected as you think. I have now raised a complaint against paypal as these guys are still trading and using paypal. Paypal Protects Scammers it seems!.

I just got my scam gift, I paid $84.99 for 3 artist kits. I just got a 10 pack of paint brushes worth about $7 ordered through dba Unilone. It took 3 months arrived today. First time I got scammed and the last time too!

2 companies got me through lockdown. I purchased hand weights, for $100 they sent me a crummy jump rope and said I couldn’t get any refund bc they showed delivered. Second place I’m fighting with now said package was delivered last week, after over 90 days. Nothing was delivered and said I’d have to check with local post office.

I found the freight shipping company affiliated with this scammer. Horizon International Cargo the order I got was shipped from Horizon International Cargo Inc

There are locations worldwide so you can go to the location that is for your country or region. 

They are the freight company for gennionlineservice.

I hope this helps someone. Thanks guys.
