I stupidly did the same thing. I purchased a laptop from them on 11/30/2020. after 4 days of updates and they said my order was complete and had shipped. I never received shipment information or a tracking number. I have tried to contact them numerous times and none of my emails have ever been answered ..no response at all. I tried live chat ..no one ever came on live chat. almost like that link was broken. I don't know what else to do. I really need to get my money back. does anyone have any ideas on how I go about trying to get my cash refunded? I also went through PayPal trusting that because it was PayPal that it was legitimate. I never order anything online and I took a chance ..this is crazy and I don't know how they continue to get away with it.

I was going to buy a laptop from them. Before I did I had question, they would never answer. I also thought if PayPal could be used I also would be safe. I guess not. Glad I kept checking.

They are a fraudulent company.

They take your money and send no product.

New York address on their website is phoney per NY Attorney General. Also they use Send to Friend scam if you use paypal with phoney name Prince Caperal. Time to get FBI involved to close them down and put them in jail. Suspect this is some criminal operating out of a house.

File a complaint with BBB. These scammers must be shutdown. Surely the more complaints the BBB gets will result in stronger action.
