Take your Pay-Pal email acknowledgement and whatever other evidence you have of your purchase to your bank/credit card company and tell them you want to report a fraud on your account. Believe me they will take it a lot more seriously than Pay-Pal does! Then go to www.USPIS.gov and report your ripoff as a mail fraud...because that is what it is! Make an appointment to see your local Post Master and explain the whole scam to him. The more people who do this the more serious it becomes to the U. S. Postal Inspector and the closer you will get to nailing this **bleep**! The Bank or Credit Card Company can get your money back by reversing the transaction if you act soon enough! The guy who runs this forum just likes to toot his little Pay-Pal horn and doesn't seem to realize that there are real world consequences to mail and bank fraud! There are also consequences to aiding and abetting in the commission of a crime when you know that a crime is being committed! We'll just let the Federal Prosecutor explain that one to them! SSSShhhhhh!!!! Good luck and I hope you get your money back! ... View more

And yet Pay-Pal still handles the transaction knowing that this is a bogus site! The very fact that Pay-pal was represented there had a great deal to do with why I decided to order! The "some" protection excuse is total BS as Pay-Pal openly represents itself as having made sure that this is a secure site! Their whole marketing strategy is all about "safety" and "security" on the web! By your own admission they knew that this is a bogus site and they still handled transactions for the site! SOUNDS LIKE COLLUSION TO ME!!!!! I pointed out to Pay-Pal the day after I made my order that the site was not fulfilling their promise and Pay-Pal just simply denied the claim even though the proof was absolute! They then paid the site while I still had an open claim! You can blow their horn all you want to but I'm seriously considering collecting as many names as possible of victims of this site and maybe file a class action suit against Pay-Pal for their part in enabling this scam! ...

Hindsite is all 20/20! Where was all of this info a month ago when I placed my order!? I got directed to this site through what I thought was a news article about China's takeover of Hong Kong when I searched "Guitar Market"! It said that many foreign manufacturers in China had avoided The national tax by warehousing old inventory in Hong Kong and were now subject to the tax! I believed this website was all about the tax recovery! It was Macafee and Pay-pal protected (or so I thought) so where could I go wrong!? I'll tell you where I went wrong.....believing Pay-Pal was actually concerned about their users! Not a bit of help and my very timely actions to point out the fraud were rejected outright because Pay-Pal likes to keep the money they scam from you! I documented every page on their website that I could with screenshots before it just poofed into a dress shop! I reported the website to the Postal Inspectors office as a "MAIL FRAUD" and am currently working with my bank to not only prosecute the site holders but Pay-Pal as well since their lack of control and oversite enabled this scam they are in fact in collusion! I don't care about the money! I just want a pound of flesh! ... View more
