Safety Report: Ordered clothing and received a ring, Metcalf Ave, Fresh Meadows, NY, USA

Metcalf Avenue, New York, United States

Ordered clothing through a website piggybacked off of a site from Facebook and received a ring instead of my order, claimcy.com I placed an order through this website after I had placed a similar order with a reputible company. They advertised too good to be true deals which should have been a red flag. I placed the order on November 20, 2023 and was given a tracking number. A few weeks had gone by without receiving my package. When I tracked the order it said it was returned to sender (another red flag).

I contacted them at the email provided and they replied (no name to the email just Customer Service Rep and also their grammar was on point) and reassured me my package was still being delievered and it was an error on the carriers part. I received a package in my mailbox several days later (it was sent to me on December 12th from New York, which I found strange since they claimed to be out of Los Angeles aka CHINA!!!) and it was not what I had ordered but a cheap ring claiming to be GRA Moissanite. The ring came with what seemed to be legitimate apprasial and a card wtih a code to scan to register (which I scanned but did not register or add any personal information. It appeared to be legit, these scams are becoming very llifelike). I reached back out to the company telling them I did not get what I ordered and they sent the following message to me:

I have not replied and refuse to send any pictures or follow instructions. I googled the company which I should have done before ordering, I know better! And found out this is definitely a scam and see others have experienced the same. I believe it is a brushing scam. (if you google claimcy.com you will find many articles calling them out as a scam.)

I reported this to the Federat Trade Commission and my credit card company and I believe they are sending me a refund (haven't gotten it yet but was told I would be). Also I put a temporary freeze on my credit reports and requested a new credit card# for safety precautions.

The website is clamicy.com (was given a legit tracking number)
