I purchased this expecting a solid offer... it's been 24 hours. No receipt, no emails, no shipping details... Anyone guess how likely I am to actually receive this item? By the way, the model number is genuine but no longer in production. I assumed it was just a clearance sale to clear old inventory... Why are 10Gbps devices still so scarce in 2020? 1Gbps models have been available for quite some time! I had one about 15 years ago.
Warning this platform could be fraudulent! https://www.clothsoutlet.com/adaptor-net...qc107-card This product caught my eye at such a low cost—I barely registered the site.
Are you usually purchasing your 10G networking equipment from the same store where you bought your prom dress? You might have been tricked. Notify PayPal or your credit card provider to file a report.
um yeah, that's definitely a scam site. notice the email is some random mail.ru address, and not a more professional looking on. (yes, i'm fully aware that just because an email looks professional doesn't make it so, but like, if you're going to scam people, at least make it look legit, yeah?) also, upon pushing Place Order, the site does a redirect to the following URL before directing you to PayPal to pay an invoice... phishy. https://www.collsxe.com/index.php?main_p...xxxxxxxxxx visiting collsxe.com reveals what appears to be some kind of scented candle website... riddle me this: why would one site redirect you to another site before sending you to paypal for payment? (again, there are legitimate cases for this, but most sites either take payment on the site directly, or at least don't redirect you.) furthermore, both the clothsoutlet.com and collsxe.com domain names were registered on November of 2019, 4 days apart. also, the privacy policy on collsxe.com appears to have been directly stolen from a Shopify store by the name of https://www.collsxe.com/index.php?main_page=privacy https://www.animeheroshop.com/pages/term...conditions https://animeherostore.com/policies/terms-of-service assume any information you've provided to the site has been compromised if you directly entered your credit card on the site, cancel your card immediately if you gave them a real email, ensure your password is strong and you have 2FA setup if you gave them your home address, you might want to look at moving if you used a phone number you care about (or a number you use for 2FA security of certain accounts)... oh boy i'd be contacting your cellular provider to lock it down, else you risk having your number ported out without your permission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_swap_scam
Make sure your password is secure and enable two-factor authentication. Yes, both conditions are met. If you entered your credit card details directly on the site, stop using that card right away. No, they actually used PayPal. Sharing your home address could be risky—are you really considering it? It does seem a bit unusual. If you provided a phone number you value, opt for a more straightforward payment method. But there’s one extra point I missed... man, looking back in 2020 hurts a lot. Still, they’re using a Russian email and an American web host.
They actually used real PayPal, but because you're sending money to an email address instead of a business account with a store name, there might be limited help from PayPal if the money has already been withdrawn. (I’d still file a dispute with PayPal to find out what options they have, sharing all the details here.) And yes, I noticed the “Company Info” section but didn’t mention it... at least now you’re aware of these scam sites and can avoid them next time.
