On January10,2022 I placed an order with mbenzgram (order #[protected]) for a Takeda Intake system which totaled $356.65. I was never told at the time of my order that the product was not in stock!
At the time I place the order I was given an expected delivery date of 7February2022. When this date came and went without me receiving my product, I contacted their customer service team and was told it was on back order and that I could expect delivery 22February2022. This date also came and went and I was subsequently told it would ship to me on 3March2022 When this date also passed I reached out to mbenzgram and requested a refund which they promptly told me they would and it would take 3 to 5 business days to process and credit my credit card.
It is now 30March2022 and I have not received a refund. After repeated emails to them and being told someone will contact from their accounting dept; I have not heard anything from them. I tried calling several times and after navigating their automated phone answering system no one comes on the line; I was on hold one time for a half an hour.
At this point I am extremely frustrated and do not know what to do.
Then only contact if I have on this company is:

Desired outcome: Please refund my credit card for my purchase that was never shipped to me
![Valvoline Instant Oil Change [VIOC] reviews, listed as MBenzGram](/images/business/48-48/121157/valvoline-instant-oil-change.jpg){kind=small}
Ordered the part, but they didn’t have it in stock so I cancelled the order. I paid thru affirm and not only did I pay for the intercooler because I don’t want to ruin my credit, I also payed interest for the intercooler I never got. I called, emailed multiple times and get nothing. This is $600 and change that I has been stolen from me.
On February 10 2022 I purchased a turbo for a 03 f250 6.0 for 632.15 thinking that it was a good deal but after waiting a week I asked that my purchase be canceled.I was told it would be but still received nothing. I filed complaint with cash app and they denied my claim say no wrong was done meanwhile it been six months
Order never received, refund not issued, MBGram doesn't respond to communication. Have all documentation from initial order to unanswered emails, all dates and times. Will be filing in CA small claims court. $6,000 is very much worth a trip to CA.
I purchased 2 5.3 harnesses and then cancelled my order 2 days later cause I realized they weren't going to work for my machine. I emailed them like 15 times, called 10, and sent a refund request numerous times. I have not been contacted once. This company is a scam. I have yet to receive my money back and I doubt I ever will. $291.59 I will never get back
I have been ripped off by MBGRAM as well they took me for $327.21 on a tuner I ordered for my truck
when I call just plays music and you can't get any response on emails.
Literally the exact same experience, this company is a FRAUD and will rip you off.
order a clutch pedal and reservoir from them, took my $ won't return emails or phone calls.
Placed my order on 2/16/23 its now 3/1/23 No response. This is shamefull.
i canceled a order that they never shipped and they lie and told me they refunded me no they did not
total rip off
That very first complaint I read about the $365.55 was at the exact same time with the exact same results, nothing. They ripped us off over $1,000. I have contacted the BBB and the California Attorney General. This is amazing that they are allowed to continue to operate and STEAL peoples money. This is so wrong!
Did you just send them an email or did you call them also?
They ripped me off as well.
$190.90
Ordered june 4th 2022
Waited patiently until aug 18th then sent an email.
Reply was that it was on back order.
I requested a refund on nov 11th.
This is the bs reply because usaa would never screw over a veteran by withholding a refund.

Ya. They got me too. Filing with my states AG and BBB. They are legit stealing from people. How have they gotten away with this fir so long?
Well I order a set of M/T slicks. Didn’t get a delivery day or nothing. They say they don’t charge your card til the order is shipped from warehouse. But my card was charged and I was told the tire was on back order a few days later. I cancel my order and they told me my refund will be 7-10 days. I got my refund back with in 4 days.
This company seems to love to take customers money an not only never give the purchases they give the run around. I am going to file a formal complaint with the BBB an see if there business license is legit cause they are just shady an fraudulent
We had the exact same problem with this company. I am not sure what needs to be done, but it is crazy. They got us for over $1,100. They should not be in business.
Criminals, blatant criminals. Even went thru BBB, no help there.
I am convinced that Affirm.com is associated with this fraudulent scheme! The fact that Affirm.com is still allowing this scam to get paid by Affirm shows they are set to steal millions if they are not prosecuted with a civil lawsuit and their partners are prosecuted.
I agree! I got took for 2000$ from them. They said they refunded my total to my affirm account. Called affirm and no money there, sent them evidence that they said my money was there and they wouldn't do anything to help.
File a complaint with BBB and FBI:
https://www.bbb.org/
https://www.ic3.gov/
Please report to the FBI, we need to see these scammers prosecuted and arrested
I order online , parts available shows online few weeks dafter I received an email says it was back order and will send me my refund , it's needs over 1 month and don't receive any refund , they sending me a repeated email , and looks it was automated email , says they will send my refund but till now no refund !
Currently waiting on a refund because of all the same issues everyone is dealing with. Took my money, no product received and not much follow through. Hopefully I receive my money back in 7-10 days.
MBGRAM took $1,650 from me.
Will give updates ^
Any updates? Its been about a 2 1/2 years since i ordered a "speacial back order" racing seat and i still cant figure out what the hell happened to my money and my item i purchased that was never received.

Do not buy form Mbenzgram!
I bought tires in November 2021 and was told repeatedly they were on back order. Finally in August 2022 I ordered the tires from elsewhere and requested a refund from Mbenzgram.
I was told the order was cancelled and would get a refund in 10-14 business days.
No refund issues and now I can’t get a hold of anyone.

Lodge a complaint with the BBB. That seems to put the fear of the scam ending into them.
Give them screenshots of emails and the financial institution purchase.
I received my refund this morning after 6 months of the runaround.
It has only been four days since I complained to the Better Business Bureau.
What address for the company did you use to file a complaint with BBB? I am trying to do the same thing and they’re requiring an address for the company but I can’t locate it.
I think I used Sacramento CA 95825 as their address. They have a new (fake?) address at 63 Pico Plaza #410, San Clemente, CA 92672.
I hope this helps.
BUYERS BEWARE!
MBGRAM’S site is bogus do not give them your credit card info. I have also been scammed by this piece of S___ poor excuse of a human being person or people. On June 20th 2022 I ordered a Ford Performance Pre Assembled handling kit for my 2011 mustang. After 2 weeks of not seeing my parts I reached out to them via Email to see if it had been shipped yet. And I received a pretty prompt response telling me what they’ve told everyone else it’s on back order and it should ship within 2 weeks. 2 weeks come and go still no parts. Reached out to them again via Email again and they said it was a special order product and it is out of their control. The answers come so fast because they are computer generated answers. After another 2 weeks I reached out to them to cancel my order. They said it was sent to the accounting department for review and once approved it would take 7 to 10 days to get the money back into my account. I said that’s odd it only took you 30seconds to take it out of my account! Same story as everyone else. Well as you’ve probably already figured out no money after the 10 days. Reached out 2 more times and they said the accounting department was still reviewing my refund. BULL S___ they are! They took my $1,732.50 with no intention of ever sending me any parts. Well where I come from that’s a fair amount of money to have stolen from you. I just wanted to share my experience so maybe I could save someone from being ripped off. Because unlike these useless no good for nothing pieces of S___ we actually work hard for our money and it downright sucks to have that amount of money stolen from you! They are lowlifes that don’t even deserve the right to even breath our air!
I did finally received my refund on September 20 2022. Although I had to be very persistent and downright rude and reached out to many different organizations like the BBB, FTC & the California State Attorney General’s Office. Not really sure which one if any helped, or maybe they all helped. Thank you very much to anyone that did help! But either way MBGRAM finally did the right thing and I did finally receive my full refund for $1732.50! So I’ll do what is right also and let people know that my issue was finally resolved!
Going through the same issue. Orders an akrapovich exhaust with affirm. Have already been charged 3 times at $960 a piece. Order was canceled 3 months ago. Same [censored]in email I get that somebody will get back to me shortly and they never pick up the phone. I am going to go to BBB now bc nothing else is working.
This exact thing is happening to me! I ordered wheels in Feb and by May they still had not arrived. I was continuing to make my payments through affirm even though I had not received what I ordered. I cancelled my order May 9th and was told the same 3-5 business days. We are now in August. I have emailed at least a dozen times and called with no answer.
The same thing is happening to me right now. Literally exactly as you described. Did you ever get your money back? And what can I do to shake the tree a little bit because I am very frustrated too at the moment.
Received Refund!
I purchased from Mbenzgram on 12-23-2021
I filed a complaint with the BBB on [protected] and I finally received my refund on 8-8-2022.
Here is what they said to the BBB Today 8-8-2022
"Hello,
This special order was refunded and canceled from our end a long time ago. Please check with affirm. Conf attached we sent them another manual request for you to update.
Thank you and keep us updated"
A long time ago my butt!
I would try the BBB it worked for me... I never thought I would get a refund, but I finally did thanks to the BBB.
what is the website of the BBB did you use?
They should be taken out of business, this is a scam, they wait for the buyer to give up, they need to be prosecuted
this company is a scam never received part i ordered , so requested a refund , never received it either , they are a total rip off ...
I was also taken for 400 dollars. Was told my intake would ship in two weeks every time I emailed them. Every time I call it takes forever to get someone to answer and I just get I’m sorry where working on it. It’s past 120 days so my bank can’t do anything now. If someone is going to sue them let me know
Same thing here 900$ in tundra suspension. Haven’t even got close to talking to any1. They have a pretty good website never thought I’d have to check for scammers I just handed my money to. I started a dispute threw my line of credit with my bank
I am legit word for word going thru this same thing. Only difference is I ordered a seat for 320$ Same BS!
Join my MBenzgram / Mbgram waiting on refund group. If your trying to get a refund.
They just refunded me today. I just keep emailing them everyday. With dumb stuff like “still checking huh?” “Guess this takes a really long time” “……” etc. and today I did one more smart [censored] know and they emailed right back sayin it’s processed on there end and for me to check wit my bank. I went and looked and it was there.
Really didn’t think I was gettin it back tbh
I got scammed for 1600 dollars. I had to go to my bank to try to get a charge back. The time frame for a charge back is usually 60 to 120 days from purchase. So don’t believe anything they tell you. Go to your bank/card company and try to get your money back in the time frame or you can be down and out. I don’t know how they run there business but it’s definitely illegal to do this stuff to people. We should contact google to shut them down on their search engine because that’s how I found them.
We need to all come together and file a lawsuit against this company so we can get our funds back
I'm filing a police repot, also have reported them to fb, ig, bbb, ect. I'm gonna do everything I can to try and stop these [censored] from stealing money from people.
I AGREE! Down $1,200 since March 2022
⚠ Warning ⚠ this is not a legitimate site. You will lose your money. This site is a scam. Do your research. They have stolen THOUSANDS! Do not be their next victim!
I have been commenting/reporting as well. Even signed up for Twitter just so I could flood their feed with warnings against their scam! Seems telling that comments are turned off on YouTube!
File a report to FBI Internet Crimes www.IC3.gov
I've been investigating this company and another with same domain company and have found so far over $97k that people have been scammed out of. Keeping their name fresh will hopefully get the FBI to investigate.
They tried to get me. I ordered a wheel on 5-12-22, reached out about tracking on 6-6-22. The response to my email was the shipment and tracking would update in 48 hours. Nothing. I tried calling, on hold over 30 minutes, nothing. I sent another email and got the same response. Their website showed the item in stock. I called my bank and disputed the charges, was told I am protected. MBENZGRAM needs to get shut down and sued!
Sucks. I got jipped $500+. They are fraud and scammers. I hope people stop trying to buy from them. We need to let the people know that they are scammer.
anyone ever get through them? or started a civil case?
I'm in the same boat. They got me for $1600.00. This is what they said in the last email I received from them... "
