Re: Scammed by HUIMENG CO., LIMITED

I got a refund but I found the etsy seller who confirmed they stole the images and reviews off their site and they were unaffiliated with Huimeng. Looking at the reviews at betterelegent (note misspelling of elegant with an e) for the wool single breasted coat, they dropped the quality of their fake product to just being a hoodie. So paypal reversed their decision when I threw a fit about the counterfeit item. One item was actually decent quality (will see if it holds up) and the other item was child size but those two items were not officially licensed products and were also fake. Try reverse image searching too to find the actual maker. I feel like 90% of the items are the wool coat based on being unable to find other reviews. Also be prepared for your info to be used to register websites for the whois. This happened to me about 6 years ago and within a year they switched the whois info to my name before a company took them to the “internet court.” (WIPO deal with domain disputes and they’re in Switzerland). Judging by the list of names that were including in the complaint, pretty sure we all had purchased fake items. So yeah. Hopefully you’re info is not stolen, sold, or involved in other issues. ...

I got one but I threw a fit in chat and prior to my case being closed, I posted images confirming from the actual etsy seller in messages that huimeng stole their images and even reviews. It was closed and I threw a fit about posting proof of the counterfeit items. ... View more

Is xiaolizi on etsy the real seller? PayPal reversed their decision in my favor when I showed them messages from xiaolizi confirming the stolen images and reviews. The coat I got was better grade than the hoodies they started sending out but def not wool. I am not sure why paypal hasn’t banned them. I think they’re gone from facebook. ... View more

I found the real product that they scammed me on and so paypal sided with me after I showed the etsy owner message confirming they are not affiliated. They even stole old reviews from the etsy seller’s website and reposted them. If it was a wool jacket, see if the seller xiaolizi sells it. Or a reverse image search. ... View more

How can I submit more evidence of a fake item?

I have more evidence now that an item is fake. The company confirmed that the serial number is fake through an email. I would like to either forward the email or print it and fax it to Paypal along with photos of the serial number on the item. However, when I asked the question through contact us, Paypal just sent a canned letter about how to file a dispute.   I already have the dispute filed and we're waiting for the buyer to respond. I have a feeling he will not respond though since chances are he knows the items are a fake. Still, I'd like to have the evidence ready. ... View more

The seller (Medisave.net) uses paypal as an option on their website. My account is "verified" according to the Paypal website. I assume my email address is confirmed since I clicked on confirm and I receive an error saying the email address is already confirmed. The address under my profile is the same and it is "home confirmed." My account is also linked to my bank account and I set up a Bill Me Later account this year.   I don't see anything that says I am confirmed or not confirmed on the Bill Me Later site. It is the same address and email as my paypal account. ... View more
