I want to warn everyone about a scam being perpetrated by a company trading as Store. Power-Sports-Nutrition.com. This is how their scam works:
1. On their web site they advertise products having very good well known brand names at sale prices far below what any other retailer is offering these same products for.
2. You think WOW, thats a really good price and you place an order. You pay online and they send you a confirmation of your order via the Yahoo store order system. So far perfect.
3. One week later when you have not received your order you send them an email enquiring as to the reason you have not received your goods. You get no response. You keep sending emails, still no response. Some time later you suddenly get a reply entitled Valued Customer and it requests you to phone one of their representatives regarding your order.in my case the rep was a guy called Jason Castro but there are other people there also working this scam.
4. Anyway you phone the representative and he tells you that the reason they havent dispatched your order is because the brand of the product you ordered is under review due to serious side effects having being reported by many other customers who are using it. They say they are discontinuing this product and recommend another brand which is much better. They will dispatch this to you immediately for the same price. Of course when you try to find any information on the brand they are recommending you cant because it is a cheap poor quality product nobody has ever heard of and certainly not something that you would feel safe consuming. You ask other retailers selling the reputable brand you ordered about reported side effects and they say they have heard of none.
5. You tell Store. Power-Sports-Nutrition to cancel your order and refund your payment. Guess what, the refund never comes and if you keep emailing or phoning they say the best they can do is immediately dispatch their alternative recommended brand as they cant dispatch a product with reported side effects. Of course these reported side effect products always remain for sale on their web site at very low prices to be used as bait to hook the next unsuspecting customer!!
