An elaborate scam nonetheless. Their deceptive and false advertisements made it through most of the major social media sites and apps, and I'm sure they picked up thousands of orders (if not more). Of course it seemed like the "deal of the year", a $400 1:14 scale RC excavator/bulldozer/dump truck being sold at 1/10th the price, for $5 shipping (they also advertised 2 for $70 w/free shipping to sweeten the deal). The phony vendor cooked up a phony website (which they took down about 2 weeks after the ads started to surface)...just enough time to take customer's PayPal funds without anyone becoming too suspicious, at least not for a couple of weeks or longer. After all, when you're getting such a great deal so soon after the holidays, you probably don't care as much about quick shipping.
You can get your money back - you'll have to open a claim with PayPal, then "escalate" that claim. This forces the seller to respond to your claim. When they don't respond (and they likely won't), you'll be refunded via PayPal's buyer protection. The phony seller appears to be in China. They're shipping out $3 toys to some (to my knowledge, US customers haven't received anything from them). Nothing close to what was advertised - again, check Amazon, you'll see the exact same video with the exact same metal-constructed product selling for $400 USD.
WNCMORE carried out false and deceptive advertising to bait customers into shelling out $40 for what they thought was a well-made, heavy-duty, die-cast metal RC product (originally worth a lot more than the $114 price they advertised!), only to find out that (a) WNCMORE became "PlayParty" 2-3 weeks after orders were taken (b) Some customers received a plastic piece of junk worth about $3 at the local dollar general. (c) The video(s) used by WNCMORE were stolen/lifted from a $400 RC product sold on Amazon, among a few other vendors.
The "ezraparks" gmail account provided in the order confirmation is also fake. You'll never get a response from it. Likely a non-existent account, or it was deleted soon after it was created.

Definitely a scam site. Ordered what I thought was a 1:14 2.4 GHz RC Top Race excavator model, based on a then existent WCNMORE webpage image, cost was shown as $39.96 (on 'time running out' sale, marked down from $113.99), also it was shown to have a 23 channel RC controller, with all diecast parts (body, booms, bucket, etc.). Paid the $39.96 plus $5.59 shipping, still have the order confirmation from PLAYPARTY (NOT WCNMORE, it's gone now). What I got was a cheap plastic 1:24 2.4 GHz 8 channel RC TOY, shipping declared value $15.00, not even close to what was advertised. I mean, a TOY, not even close to what I saw advertised. Would not have bought this if not for FRAUD!! I now know this was too good to be true. Oh yeah, there was a gmail contact on the order confirmation : <removed> Good luck with that. 😛
