Saw a custom shoe box on tiktok, checked out the instagram, website etc. Saw that this person happened to be local to me, only about an hour away. I messaged him, he answered all questions promptly and said to process all orders through his website. He said it takes him about 1-2 weeks to make one. That was on 6/12/22 when I processed the order on a "go daddy' website that looked legit. Checked in 11 days later, no response. 14 days later, he responded and said will be ready for p/u no later than Monday and would send me a pic on Sunday night (6/26) . Sorry for delay etc. Wednesday 6/29 messaged, no answer. Saturday again, no answer. Sunday I became more concerned and messaged again saying I will be in town to p/u this coming Sat, no answer. Monday another message (7/4), no answer . Then Tuesday messaged a stern comment about why he wasn't responding. He blocked me. I had my boyfriend message, he opened the message but didn't respond after he said my gf is messaging you about an order. He has changed his instagram name, blocked me on tiktok, and all IG accounts. Reported to AMEX and received my money back.
