I contacted everyone I could think of and finally got a refund from the scammers by contacting them at lumiplace.    When PayPal did not honor the refund they offered, I appealed to PayPal since so many people are scammed by whoever this really is. PayPal then extended a refund after I got Lumi (or VPN Mobapps) to agree to refund me in writing.  Not sure what email people have tried but I hope this helps. Very infuriating.  PayPal does not allow me to put the email so trying to work around that by spelling it out above. Off course it goes to [removed]. ... View more

I also was scammed by this website (Lumi/VPN/MOBAPPS). I disputed the payment immediately. I had paid (supposedly) $.99 for a personalized wardrobe report and the next day my account was hit for $49. I disputed this on Paypa and I received an email from PayPal confirming that this debit would be refunded. Then I received a review request from Paypal and of course, I was very satisfied and pleased with this level of support. Once I submitted this review, I received another email from PayPal telling me that I would not get a refund.Telling me they had documents that confirmed this charge was consistent with my buying history!! Providing me with yet another email to contact if I want to appeal this and to get a copy of the "documents" they cite as proof.  So I am now appealing this and directing them to see how many customers are being scammed by this site. I am disappointed in the action from PayPal and rethinking what I need to use online in the future if PayPal cannot be relied on for the great customer service they have provided in the past.  ...
