London Meichi Co., Ltd. Metal Tank remote control advertised on Facebook

Stupidly I have fallen foul of a scam . I purchased a great looking METAL remote control tank, it looked huge with a guy riding on it. What eventually turned up was a tiny plastic RC tank, nothing like advertised.

Anyone else suffered at the hands of these con artists ?

PayPal are aware of these scammers now and you will get a refund but you have to wait 20days. Good luck 😉

I paid 60 bucks and all I got was a plastic tank that wasn’t worth four dollars. I think PayPal should not allow them to steal money from us and should stop it.

Yup I’ve been fooled by them normally so good at spotting the bad egg but this time I purchased a nightmare before Christmas lamp and 4/5 weeks later received a broken cat lamp the size of my palm now reported to PayPal for a refund I showed photos as well and I’m the one who has to send it back with proof of postage and tracking to bloody China!!!!! For a refund otherwise I won’t get a refund at all common pay pal they are a scammer more than one of us how is this fair? I thought we used PayPal to protect us

The same! I spent 40 USD on [Limited Sale!] Flying Tent, Hammock & Poncho (FREE SHIPPING) - Camo, but in the end got 10USD worth hammock-mosquito net. I pointed out to paypal that all circumstances indicate to criminals with fraud activities, but now paypal only offers to send it back to chinese fraudsters, so if I want my money back I should spend another extra money on postal costs. Also advertised Facebook post with all comments and webpage neebuy-le com has been deleted soon after the purchase of [Limited Sale!] Flying Tent, Hammock & Poncho (FREE SHIPPING) - Camo.

Shame to paypal protecting London Meichi Co., Ltd., <removed>

Beware of making deals with:

London Meichi Co., Ltd

Thanks! Got the address before paypal managed to delete it 😄 Yes, it is the same provided address. Today I sent the item back to seller and requested to paypal to refund all shipping costs. Lets see how it will end.

Paypal refunded all shipping costs for returned item. So far so good.

The case was decided in my favor because of lack of "unable to obtain additional information [from seller]"  and paypal refunded all costs.
