They did not even bother to change anything

- the email to something more trustworthy, they use cong513489038@gmail.com and a295224870@gmail.com and others on different pages - the domain in the privacy policy is linking to carvemyname.com but the title on hover is getphotopuzzle.com which both are not the actual site - the title of the site is "BESTSHOP" and the domain is personablee.com - On the footer, they did not even manage to write "Renfund Poilcy" correctly - The site was first seen as a facebook ad, i can't verify if the ad is still running but i reported that one to facebook aswell - The number they have on the bottom is from the "London School of Economics..." - and many more issues

I am sure you all noticed the cheap prices :)

This would be slightly less appalling if PayPal weren't so ban-happy towards people and organizations who weren't actually doing anything wrong. But as it stands, their false positive rate and false negative rate are both unacceptably high.

> reported that one to facebook aswell

I've given up reporting obviously scammy (and sometimes blatantly illegal) adverts, links, and profiles, to facebook. The canned “doesn't break out community rules” responses or no response at all, confirms to me that a large part of the point of facebook is ripping people off and facebook know it! I've even stopped commenting on the adverts with a list of red flags to warn others, because that just makes facebook show you more of them (if you've engaged with one, you might be interested in seeing others!).

I too had a similar situation with PayPal. When I filed a complaint they rejected it because the fake seller was able to produce shipping information. They send a letter (or empty package) to some address in your city but not your actual address so that the item shows as delivered. If you look closely you will see that your actual address is never shown in the details.

Could be they have no consumers disputing charges. They get enough of those and they will take action.

This is why I defend the controversial Cloudflare policy of being so slow and deliberate in removing things.

Hasn't Cloudflare started removing a lot more lately than they ever used to?
