Fraudulent QVC Website

Bewareofunknownwebsites — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 19:11:27 GMT

Embarrassed to say I purchased tennis shoes from a site advertising they offer best selling merchandise from QVC. It was a $50 lesson for me. The white tennis shoes I was expecting ended up being cheap rubbers (to go over shoes maybe?) that have white shoelaces glued onto the front. I am quite sure the Dollar Store would never carry this piece of junk. They did not send a confirmation email. They only sent the "shoes" after I filed a dispute with Discover Card. The envelope they arrived in (when I say envelope you understand these are not shoes) has no return address and no order documentation. I cannot return them. Again, it is a lesson for me. So, QVC, you should shut down QVCBestSelling. Even Discover questioned how QVC could have sent such trash. I explained it was not QVC. So QVC, shut them down because they are tarnishing your name!

If QVC didn't create the website how can they shut it down? I would never order from QVC unless i used the QVC website, did you think it was QVC you were ordering from?

Also if your not sure if a website is legitamit you can check here https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/qvc-bestselling-com-review/

When I want to know if a website is legit or not, I go to TrustPilot dot com and see if there is any info there about the website. People write stuff there about their experiences with websites they have purchased from plus some write about the products, too. If the website isn't listed there, I stay away.

@Bewareofunknownwebsites

I would STILL dispute the charge with Discover.

They have EXCELLENT customer service and usually always stand by the customer.

They should reverse the charges immediately! You can send pictures to their fraud dept.

I agree with @spumoni99

QVC has nothing to do with this site, is not to blame and would have little ability to do anything about it.

It is up to US to check things out before we check out!

Thanks for the info

You have to be so careful, there's a Dooney and Bourke one out there that's the same thing. I believe if you look back a couple months in the posts, someone ordered from them too thinking it was a legit site.

@Bewareofunknownwebsites Surely you understanad, or you should, that QVC **cannot* shut down another company.

Buyer beware.

Although a U.S. address is provided for the website if you check whois.com it looks like it is run out of Iceland. It seems there is little, if anything, QVC could do. Maybe a trademark violation by using QVC but that is easily gotten around.

@Bewareofunknownwebsites Small tip...look for a green check mark next to the company name on the ad. That certifies it's legit. That means it is the REAL QVC, Dooney etc. Never ever go by the name of the company. I have seen those spoofed video ads on FB. It's sad. If you see those and see something you like, instead of clicking the ad, go the to real website. If the item isn' t there then it isn't legit. You can't go wrong typing the real website in and searching for your item. Sadly some people won't take the 5-10 minutes to ensure the offer is legitimate before jumping in. Buyer Beware! Trouble is I have even seen some of those videos use the Youtube QVC videos to push their junk. There is alot of those scams out there. If ever you see something you like, just go to the real website. Search before you click.

My neighbor fell victim to it, except she thought she was ordering from Sketchers on Facebook. After her card was charged but she never got the shoes, she called them, an and apparently it was somewhere in the Phillipines and they were no help at all. She disputed the charge with the bank, and got her shoes two months later. They looked pretty cheap and she said the sides were pretty loose. She's going to use them when she does yardwork. I don't buy anything off Facebook or Instagram, but I know fake websites are everywhere.

@Bewareofunknownwebsites - Since it is not a website that was established by QVC, it isn't theirs to shut down. There are many "name" brand fradulent sites out there these days.

Same ads pop up on FB and email for "QVC" deals for Vionics and more at 1/2 price...that screams SCAM SCAM..

Some people need to stay away from FB. I love FB but when I see so many people falling for these scams, It's so sad.

I love to sew but imagine a $200 sewing machine for $25, what's wrong with this picture. People fall for it.

It's similiar to someone calling you up and saying your son is in jail and he needs bail money.

The first clue the website was fake was "a site advertising they offer best selling merchandise from QVC."

This just happened to me. There was a fraudulent website that popped up on website that appeared to be QVC with sandals and the time line to purchase was short. I purchased. It appeared to be a close out where you were being rewarded for buying mulitple. I purchased 3. The sandals look like something I would be hard pressed to purchase from Dollar Tree. I would never ever buy them under any circumstances. They are garbage and a clear attempt was made to mislead consumer in order to sell the product as being Birkenstock instead of ******. The product arrived in a plastic wrap like a garbage bag and the 3 pairs bundled together. Very small package because very small crappy product. No one thinking they are purchasing Birkenstocks would every buy these even as a consolation of knock of version. Not even close to a knock off either. The listed sender is Joe Doe out of NY. That's not what was on FB for the ad.

I'd be pretty worried, because now they have your e-mail address & credit card number. You don't know where your credit card number could end up. If I made that mistake I'd call my credit card company & have them issue me a new card with a different number.

Re: Fraudulent QVC Website

Ads like these are everywhere. I'm the conservator for my sister and she did this once and ended up with a string of fraudulent charges on her account. We got all but one stopped by working with the bank.

Call your bank to shut down that card and get a new one.

Fyi, I would never click on an ad. I'd go to the actual website and see what it shows.

There's an old saying: If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Don't click any of the ads "flashing" on the side. Sometimes, the ads will have a line or two where I know they are lying. There was one ad that said that a famous celebrity just died with her picture next to the ad. I think most of those ads "flashing" on the side are click bait.

I was taken for $80 and sent the cheapest shoes I'd ever seen in a brown plastic bag from New Jersey. The return address advised that nothing could be sent there. It is a scam. People that work for QVC don't even know about it. The last one I spoke yo didn't even get what I was talking about.

someone has already mentioned this tip, but whenever I see something that might interest me on FB. I never click the link. I go to my laptop and bring up the actual company or Amazon to make the purchase.
