Safety Report: Scam from Company called Boughloaf, Newport News, VA, USA
1 year ago
Newport News, Virginia, United States
I purchased what was supposed to a fold up treadmill from an ad on FB. Instead, I got a horse printed scarf. The return address is 14900 Frye Rd. Ft. Worth ,Tx. Upon researching, this scam is called "brushing." It is used to boost an online retailer's business. They get your personal information and use it to make purchases through a fake account. The purchase is then sent to your address. The scammers will then post a positive fake review for the advertised item, so that others will make a purchase. To say I was pissed is an understatement! I immediately called my bank and they said they will refund the money and also open a dispute investigation. I have since canceled my debit card and changed all of my passwords. I advise other victims to do the same. You can read more about this scam on the BBB website.
