I purchased a purse that was advertised as damaged packaging and all I had to do was pay $7.95 shipping. I have to admit I didn't read the reviews. A week later on today 9/14/23, the company charged my card another $79.95 for what I have no idea because I did NOT authorize anything else. This company is a scam! They need to return my money but I would bet that's not going to happen given the reviews. I have since canceled my card and am disputing the charges. Thieves!

Desired outcome: I would like my money back but this company needs to be shut down. I will be filing a police report as well for credit card fraud.

Same thing happened to me. There are ads all over facebook that appears to be from the retailer - COACH. The ads claim that due to storage issues or store closures, Coach is selling their handbags for $1.00, and you only have to pay $6.95 for shipping and handling. I was hesitant at first because I thought it was too good to be true. After my third hesitation, I decided to try it. Unfortunately, I did not realize that Coach may not be involved at all until it was too late. I received a notification in my email that my card was charged $7.95 for a Coach handbag. However, the receipt came from consumergadgetsdepot.com and charge came from PUREEPICMUSI [protected].

Then 3 days later my card was charged again in the amount of $79.95. When I called the number to report the unauthorized charge, I was told that the $7.95 was the entry fee for a chance to win a Coach handbag for $1.00 and the $79.95 was for some sort of subscription that is non-refundable. Subscription for what! I never asked for a subscription and never received an email confirmation that I signed up for a subscription. I argued with the lady on the phone. At first, she said that they could issue me a voucher to make purchases on their online store. I told her that a voucher is no help to me because my son was diagnosed with cancer this summer, and I depended on my credit card, which has a low credit limit, to purchase food and medication for him. These charges almost wiped out my available credit. Then she said she could refund 40% of the subscription, which would only be $31.98, but I never received the refund. The ads are deceptive and are targeting individuals who are struggling financially, hoping to find a bargain. I’ve been scammed and I don’t want this to happen to someone else. Please DO NOT fall for this scam!
