Accused me of calling them a scammer, seemed legitimate, paid for order, ordered product then received chargeback from credit card used a week later. Luckily I'm not out any money as product is being returned. I did a google search on both names and came up empty handed but went along with it since they "paid". Moving foward, doing more research to confirm international orders or will re-evaluate shipping procedures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8837958247494604625.post-23426240254649989512017-12-06T13:13:22.856-06:002017-12-06T13:13:22.856-06:00Thank you so much for having all this info!

I then contacted HetKunstgemaal and guess what they never heard of the person (Niamh Traynor).

Looks like they're still at it.. this time using the name Mary Emanuel and a shipping address in Switzerland. Their English has much improved and they haven't mentioned a 3rd party courier... yet... otherwise the scam would be obvious. However, there were still some red flags, a hotmail address - comma usage, formatting, odd opening and closing statements, etc. So far I'd given them the benefit of the doubt but seeing entire sections of text which are almost identical to those posted here, it's now clear that I've wasted my time.
