No. I simply placed the order via PayPal with PayPal credit set as default. I did not know or see that a different billing address & credit card were apparently used that do not belong to me.

The company said they issued the refunds to a master card (not belonging to me) and shared with me the billing address used on the order(s)…which was fake and a similar phone number to mine, but also fake/not in service. What kind of scam is this? ... View more
