I ordered a pair of Nike Air Force 1 NBC Edition sneakers from feetcovers.com. The company used a professionally crafted website advertising Nike products. They also had two e-mail addresses: [email protected] and [email protected].
When the Nike's did not arrive in 2 weeks,
I sent an e-mail to [email protected] and [email protected] and was informed that due to a Chinese holiday, the delivery on my Nike's would be delayed because they were on backorder. They offered a 10% discount if I selected a different pair of Nike's that were "in stock".
After waiting another 2 weeks for the Nike's, I tried contacting feetcovers.com and soon learned that their website was no longer functioning and their e-mail addresses were disconnected. I no longer had any means of contacting this bogus company. I notified my credit card company of this fraud and they told me that they could not stop payment since the charge was an authorized charge. Compaints about this cybercrime were filed with: IC3.com, BBB.com and FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection to document this cybercrime.
