I fell victim to a cyber scam by responding to an ad on Facebook. The person posting claimed that Jim Shore was going out of business (he isn't), and he was offering Jim Shore Christmas ornaments and other products @75% off. It seemed too good to be true and that was the case. I ordered on November 16 and today, December 2, I thought it was a long time that the package was delayed.
I checked the website provided by the "seller" and it does not exist. I had also received a confirmation of my payment and the email address to reach out for support, also is a non-working address.
My husband went on Facebook to Jim Shore's page and found out about the impersonator today. I have contacted my credit card company. What a nuisance! It's always something!
February 10, 2024 Update
I never did receive a package of Jim Shore Christmas Ornaments from VIKRASSETH LIMITED, the company to which I paid $59.88. They provided a photocopy of a postmark with what looked to be Chinese writing stamped all over it and submitted that as proof to my credit card company that the package had been mailed and said that it was mailed on December 9. The credit card company took their word for it and charged my account. I have reported this case of fraud to the Federal Trade Commission and written to my credit card company once again, saying I did not receive the package.

There is an online website that discusses the company who scammed me. The link is: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/
