Yokawa Network Limited Is a SCAM

[Cmiddl01]

I just wanted to share that I’ve been dealing with a very similarly frustrating situation with PayPal and this seller. My issue started in May and I believe I just now got it resolved today or at least mostly resolved. For anyone doing a Google search, this company now goes by even another name:Zephyr Network Limited. I ended up having to go to the claims process but unfortunately this company has figured out how to beat the system by sending a fake tracking number of some bogus item they sent to someone else in my same ZIP Code. I had to file a complaint with the US postal inspection service which I didn’t even know existed. That intern resulted in this scam seller sending me some other crap product that clearly didn’t meet the ad specifications. But because I had already escalated through PayPal there was no way for me to fight it. But they thought wrong. I then began working with PayPal through social media and was able to get an email address to which I have responded to relentlessly. PayPal clearly has not done their due diligence and they are just as much at fault given the pages and pages and pages of complaints on the seller. I finally had enough earlier today and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Within just a few hours I’ve already received word thatPayPal will be refunding me my charges. The only thing left outstanding now is to get reimbursed for my return shipping cost which PayPal has already submitted in writing that I should be able to get. I just need to get it back. Do not give up and do not let these imposters or PayPal wait in the situation.

Thats fantastic!!! I was thinking about filing a complaint with the BBB against PayPAl. 

Dealing with the Chinese scammers will get us no where! I still cant believe PayPal is not protecting their customers!! They are just as much responsible for this BS as the scammers! I am going to file a complaint today against PayPal! I will keep u guys updated.. Thak u for the insight.. Fingers crossed u get the rest of your money back!!

A poster on this chain made a really good point that we are not paypals customers, we are their product.  They are making a cut of the sales from the vendors not us.  So it doesn't benefit them to resolve our disputes as for every person Yokawa Scams, paypall takes a cut of those sales.

So yesterday I posted in here and someone commented that they filed a complaint against PayPal with the BBB and in turn received a refund for their purchase with Yokawa. I thanked her and went to the BBB website and filed a complaint against PayPal and this morning I received an email from PP stating I am gettting a refund!!

We have to share that info to everyone that has been screwd by both Yokawa and PP!! Goos luck everyone!!

I am from Australia. Where do I have to make a complaint regarding this issue? 

We cannot get assistance from BBB I guess. I am very disappointed with Paypal. If they don't take any action I will escalate this to a relevant authority

[Debshew]

Can you please let me know what you did. I’m Australian and have been scammed too

I also filed a complaint yesterday with BBB. No refund yet. Fingers crossed.
