There are some heavily discounted coffee machines on Caffeefriend.com. Wanted to know if the site is legit.

I have been looking for their instagram (as they advertise to follow) I found their domain registration while I was googling this name. It was registered just before Christmas, no country, no additional information about this company. Furthermore, the retail prices listed don't match the actual retail prices of the coffee machines. I didn't notice this until I had concern and googled those as well. 

Suffice it to say, I am proceeding on the assumption this is not legit. @gdrglen

I recommend not to proceed. I made the mistake of ordering and almost immediately regretted not doing a deeper dive before I did. Upon order, I tried to find them on IG - nothing. Found they only registered the company days before. I just received a message today that the item shipped but tracking # goes to no real shipper and the tracking location says “no location”. Their email address is not real. They send messages through shopify. We have flagged it with Amex but don’t know how to report this company.

I mistakenly ordered as well. I am currently in the middle of a dispute in the resolution centre. Hopefully PayPal can help with this.

I dont think they are. As of this morning the website has seemed to disappear and pops up an error message. My wife and I looked at it this past weekend and once I couldn't find any contact info I thought something was up. Plus the spelling errors on the webpage.

I made a purchase on the .com version of this website on the 31 of December it’s now the 4th tracking hasn’t been updated since purchase I’m waiting on a reply from the support email but apparently at least the .com website doesn’t exist anymore so I’m not too sure what I should do

The website is already down. They obviously cashed in and closed store. Good luck with Paypal!

What was the name of the Paypal account? Very often this type cams are located in China, where it's legal as long as you don't scam inside China. 

This gangs (yes, they are gangs) have usually a few 100 similar stores and change Paypal accounts daily. That fools the Paypal resolution center, and since Paypal ain't too keen on refunding a payment they can't recover they often will not let the claim go through.

 

At this point I can't get the Paypal logic, every week there must be a few Million $$ that the help scammers in China to collect. Facebook is full of such ads.
