Rip off company
Complaint Rating: 
Company information:
Lenovo
United States
lenovo.com
Lenovo stole my credit card information and charged me for a computer that I did not order, nor have I received. I have never had any dealings with this company and I had never, prior to a few hours ago, even heard of them.
I do not have phone or email addresses for this company since I do not have the merchandise they billed me for. Peculiar to their attempts at defrauding me is that they apparently shipped the computer to my billing address in WA state when I live in Cody Wyoming.
While printing off my statement to mail my credit card payment, I noticed an enormous charge for over $1400 by Lenovo. I immediately phoned my financial institution's fraud department and reported the theft of my credit card. They closed the account, denied the charges, and reported the incident to the three major credit reporting agencies.
Absolutely outrageous.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Fraud can affect both individuals and companies.
Have you tried contacting Lenovo sales to investigate / dispute the order before posting here? While you may not have the contact information because you didn't receive the package, you are able to use the web as you posted your comment here. Have you tried the Lenovo website for information? www.lenovo.com
Try calling Lenovo at 866-968-4465 and discussing the matter with sales - I'm sure they will investigate and help you resolve the situation, escalating as a formal complaint as needed.
In cases of fraud it is likely that another individual falsely obtained your information and used it to place the order. Lenovo would not aquire your information and spontaneously generate and bill you for an order.
As fraud protection, Lenovo requires both the bill to and ship to addresses to be listed with the credit card bank, and every effort is made to verify the validity to the order and customer before it is cleared for shipment.
If you need further help after contacting sales at the number above, you can reach me through our forum. http://forums.lenovo.com
Best regards,

My PayPal and Hotmail email accounts were hacked. Several purchases from Lenovo were made on my account. Try calling Lenovo, what a joke. After being on hold for over an hour I was transfered to three different people. I told them all my story, gave them the name and address of the person this was being shipped to (it was not me) and was assured all future orders would not go out as they had 3 orders pending.
Before I could get to my bank (in less than an hour after speaking to them) to cancel my account Lenovo processed 2 of the 3 pending orders for over $2, 000! When I called back that same day I got "oh very sorry, these things happen"!
Are they in on this with the person that hacked my account? Makes you wonder. |

| I was sitting on my patio this morning having a cup of coffee when a package arrived for me. I opened this package to see 2 Lenovo packages, that i did not order. I attempted to cal this company...JOKE...where i was hung up on. I contacted my credit card company and spoke to a wonderful and helpful woman, Ms. Roundtree. Together we contacted this company again, and while they had the correct billing and shipping address, the email address was fraud as well. THey continued to insist that i give them the correct email address so they could send me the return labels. NOT HAPPENING!! This company is completely fraudulent and the customer service representative stated they have received fraudulent orders. Well, i am so enraged i wish there is something else that can be done about this company as it appears that i am not the only onethis is happening to. My credit cared representative had to ask for a Supervisor who continued to want my correct email address. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY INFORMATION!!! I WOULD ONLY PROVIDE THEM WITH THE INFORMATION THEY HAD LISTED ON THE SHIPPING DOCUMENT THAT CAME WITH THESE IDEA PADS. Lenovo did not even call my credit card to confirm the purchase was valid, which is what should be done. Is there anything else we can do!?!?!? |

I was just hit with this same scam. I received a package via UPS and had to sign for it which first raised suspicions. I was still confused after going through the packaging grew more concerned when I noticed they had my cell phone number printed on the shipping invoice. I then proceeded to review my credit card balances on line and noticed this charge for $904 to lenovo. I called my credit card company, denied the charge, cancelled the card and am awaiting further instructions from them regarding their investigation into this matter.
I was informed by the card company that this purchase was made via phone call and when I googled "lenovo" and "scam" I uncovered a large supply of hits that covered this particular scam. You'd think that if it was happening to them over and over they would be more diligent in getting to the bottom of this. Before today I had never heard of lenovo and will file them under scam companies from this point forward.
It appears to me that the only ones making money from this are the scammers and lenovo as it stands to reason their reported sales are going up as a result of the scammers. At any rate this is a lesson to be learned, watch you back and guard your personal informations with the utmost care.
In addition, doesn't it sdeem a bit strange that a company would have to put a sticker on the shipping container that stated if you did not order this item you may be a victim of fraud or identity theft? As many packages as I have received over the years this is the first one that came with a scam disclaimer. That shold be a red flag if there ever was one.
Does anyone else have any other information regarding lenovo and this perpetuated scam? |

exact scenario happened to me, except my credit card company called me to validate the purchase, so i was able to thwart the scam & cancel my card.
however, 3 days later i recvd 2 idea pads via UPS. called lenovo & they said to use only the return label they will send me...that was april 10th & I've recvd no correspondence from them. im not going to beg these people for a label to return their mer- chandise...cant believe they havent followed up with me. just waiting for next credit card statement to make sure charges were removed. |

| Lenovo/IBM has changed since it went to Chinese hands. I received an email with a promotional offer, and clicked to purchase it, and was hit with the classic "bait-and-switch" scam from Lenovo. The offer was not found, but other more expensive options were listed. When I called, I was told the offer was "sold out" even though I called the minute I received the email. And then the customer service rep hung up on me. Enough siad, I will never do business with Lenovo again. |

| Same happened to me. It's starting to appear that Lenonvo.com is part of the crime ring. I filed 2 police reports and would suggest even else do the same. Be sure to mention LENOVO.COM |
