Total money lost $57.18
Type of a scam Online Purchase

While searching Google for a deep freezer, an ad for a GE freezer for $57 was next to the walmart ad. I clicked on it..saw all of the trusted safety locks appropriate for purchase sites (ie. ?? Paypal and others) Decided to move forward and make the purchase. I entered my credit card information but forgot to create an account first (BIG MISTAKE)! Once my info was accepted I had no way of getting back to the webpage if it timed out! I waited for the promised email of my accepted payment & order confirmation, but it never came. I tried to get back to the site, but I was not a member so I had no record or history of being there! There was no customer service for me to contact! I knew immediately that I had made a mistake and tried to cancel the transaction but it was pending so that was not possible. After a few days, i was forced to cancel the card altogether since the transaction stayed in pending status, but finally DID go through. I was able to get the bank to trace the original SQUARE merchant who stole from me. So be CAUTIOUS EVERYONE! ******* ******* ***** ***** ** ***** ***** ** ***** ***** ********

This is the person who is defrauding people online and stealing their hard earned money using the SQUARE mobile reader! BEWARE!!!

No links were clicked in the email so the attempted scam was unsuccessful, but this email initially looked legit as if it was from Square, a service this business uses for payment processing. I am reporting it so that others know not to click any links.
