Anybody ever bought something online and then realized they had been scammed? Well I was trying to buy a purse the cheap way and didn't research the sites I've been reading reviews about designer purse scams and I think Im another victim Thank God it was only 70.00 and not in the hundreds I shoulda known better when the English on their site was bad Honestly I never paid attention to it until it was too late Now I gotta dispute this transaction and thank Gawd I paid with a prepaid card and not my real bank card U ever been scammed?

How can you pay with a prepaid card online? I don't know that bank scheme, is that american?

I'm sorry to hear that. You should always look up online businesses through the BBB first before you buy things. It's very easy to get scammed with cheap-ass prices on some of these sites ....

Just like any other Visa it's just prepaid which is what I use for all my purchases even Ebay-I never use my Bank card

The whole point of using pre-paid credit cards is to allow everyone the opportunity to shop online, even if they don't possess a traditional credit card. No scheme about it, really. They're actually quite handy when traveling as well, and are a wonderful replacement for traveler's checks when you want to stringently stick a budget. For work I use them all the time to shop for styling jobs instead of my traditional credit cards- and I like how it keeps things nice and tidy, with purchases all on one receipt ... and in all sincerity- it's easier to handle and less stressy than having oodles of cash in an envelope at the bottom of my purse (which is the way it's been done for decades). They're pretty handy invention and I rather like them.

No m'am.

Just curious, but were you going for a European designer bag? Because they don't approve their merchandise to be sold by these alleged wholesalers and retailers. Ever. If it's a private individual selling a bag they just happen to have in their possession, or a co-signment shop selling a used bag, that's one thing; but outside of their own showrooms and select department stores retailers don't have access nor license to sell bags from European designers, period. In fact, many design houses still actually burn their surplus inventory at the end of each season to ensure that 1. it never makes it to the streets at a low sale value, thus maintaining the luxury brand's sense of exclusivity and 2. to combat against copyright infringement from the fake makers. So when you see all those lovely LV and Hermes bags online for a discounted price that's too good to be true, know point-blank-period that they're fake.

I never make purchases from a website unless it's a reputable one. If it's a site I've never heard of or ordered from, I do a lot of research to make sure they are legit. The only way I can see myself getting scammed online is thru ebay, but, since I only buy CDs and DVDs on ebay, I don't see much of a chance of that happening.

There has been restrictions on ebay and paypal, since people have been reporting scams, especially with designer bags. Payments to the seller are put on hold for an certain amount of time.

That's terrible. But yes, the prepaid card is the way to go, seems safer.

That's what I do too! Always use a prepaid card and NEVER your real credit cards-

Sorry you got scammed! Sucks!

I feel like I got semi- scammed. I just ordered a Dennis Basso faux fur off of QVC and mangy thing came in the mail today and looks so damn cheap! I should of ordered something vintage off of Etsy instead!

Burn that prepaid card up, those scammers might be real clever and try to steal more from you. We all get tripped up once in a lifetime, sorry for the inconvenience.

Well...it arrived yesterday looking fake as hell bad stitching, fake leather and just fucked up looking I should have known better-thank God it was only $70.

Not TOO terrible from the photos- maybe you could resell it on Ebay? There are some silly ass girls that wouldn't even care if COACH were spelled backwards- I see them all the time with their crazy ass knockoffs looking all crazy....

I guess you'll have to use it only when the people around you aren't sophisticated enough to tell the difference.

When you hang out with the bougie folks, then you should bust out the real one.

$70.00? If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Years ago my crazy cousin got into a battle with an Ebay seller, selling Gucci sunglasses. My relative bought these "Gucci sunglasses" for $40.00...they weren't have bad looking. They weren't the real deal so sista girl went off. I was like girl get a grip did you actually think someone was going to sale the real deal Gucci for 40 bucks? The seller could have sold you some fakes for a premium price, that would've been a ripp.

Do they have a Loehmann's store out by where you live? If so, you can get all the designer fashions and accessories to your heart's content for anywhere from %40-%70 percent off...and the designer glasses might not run you $40, but you can easily get ahold of Dior, Gucci, and Fendi for $60-$70

Perfectly legit looking site, merchandise looks solid, plenty of positive customer reviews, but the item will be shipped from China; don't buy it!
