I received this Bubble Cleaner order 16 March, 2021. This order was placed on 17 February, the same day I placed an order from Gadgets Group for a High Pressure Washer. The high pressure washer cost $34.93. The Bubble Cleaner cost $35.93. That is a Red Flag, awfully suspicious. Same day, but with $1.00 difference, another Red Flag.  From a company with different names - Littleplayland Limited, Whistland, Storm Media Limited- another Red Flag. I never heard of these companies and have no use for these two tiny bottles of "Bubble Cleaner". I was completely scammed and these companies should be blocked by Paypal. I will try to have the charge reversed by my bank tomorrow but I don't believe I will be successful in that effort. Whats to prevent these sammers from making multiple unauthorized purchases for items never ordered? ... View more

I made the mistake of ordering a High Pressure Washer from Gadgets Group. The same day an order was placed (without my authorization) from Whistland for StainOut All-in-1 Bubble Cleaner x 2. The costs for each item was very similar and I didn't recognize this seller. I received an e-mail from Littleplayland Limited for this same Bubble Cleaner with a charge for $35.93 to my account for this item. I received an e-mail from them thanking me for my order but ignored it because I didn't recognize the seller and didn't order anything from them. When this "Bubble Cleaner" arrived it was 2 bottles of this cleaner with no paperwork included. The return address was "will will <removed> Rosemead, CA <removed>".  I had no idea how it was authorized or deducted from my account. I disputed this claim with Paypal but they quickly sided with the seller and closed my dispute. I think Storm Media, Littleplayland and Whistland are all connected and a scam. Why doesn't Palpal allow a user to block any future transactions from a suspicious company? I dont' want this happening again. It is a complete scam. There is Chinese writing on the label on the cleaner. This transaction was not approved my me. ... View more
