Just lost $80 to a company who copied another company’s website and just changed the url by a single character. Got hit by a targeted ad, I guess. I say the company is Chinese because their fake package tracking site is in Mandarin. This is undeniable proof. I must now forsake Dengism and denounce the Cee Cee Pee

Funny you should mention that because I think I got scammed by a USA site posing to be a vape company? 10 days and no emails back about my order. Would rather my money go to the CPC rather than some scammer kulak in the states.

Chinese tracking sites are some of the Tor-friendliest I've found. Official postal systems tracking sites are definitely NOT.

(The actual scammer could be anywhere essentially/maybe it's useful info for someone)

Some credit cards offer purchase protection, try contacting them to see if they’ll refund you

I got scammed by a US realtor company that had job postings I applied to. I never heard back and got their ads in my email and at my house until I moved.
