Ordered ammunition from Rikim, charged but no confirmation or delivery
I saw a well-designed ad for ammunition that seem like a bargain and made a purchase for $53 over a week ago. I still have not received a confirmation email, but my credit card was charged the full amount of $53. I then looked up the company posted on my credit card statement of “Rikim”. I did a little research and found I wasn’t the only one this had happened to.

Scam company Rikim sold fake Yankee candles and charged my card
The company offered Yankee candles for $4.99/ea. Yankee candles lowest sale prices are about $15. It was super enticing to order these. As your order increases they offer $5 off, then $10 off, then $15 off, then $20 off. I stopped at 16 candles for $55, so my total money lost was $55. I placed the order with my credit card. Charge went immediately on my account. The charge was in a different name than the company I ordered from. No confirmation of the order by email or text. I called the manufacturer and Yankee candle said it is a scam. No one can sell their candles for $4.99. Also they said my credit card could be used for more fraudulent transactions. So I called the credit card company and disputed the charge. The scamming company, Rikim, issued a credit IMMEDIATELY. I googled scam and the company name. Huge article about the company being a scam. It said they entice people to order these expensive candles for up to 90% off. I fell for it. Then they charge your card and never deliver. The article said to look for certain things as red flags. Very low prices from the manufacturer list price, no phone number to call customer service, no confirmation of the order via email or text… it just went on and on. This company had all of the red flags. I’m embarrassed I was so stupid to get taken by these guys. I think they issue the credit so fast because they don’t want to get on the credit cards radar for scams and they don’t want any investigation of the company. I’m concerned that they have my name and address. I may have given my email too. PLEASE look into them. The comments on the Facebook ad had all kinds of people saying how great Yankee candles were. No comments about the fact that “Hey, I got my order today and am very happy”. A few said it was a scam. I got taken and I hope the ScamPulse.com will alert others to these people from China which is a known common place for scams. Of course as I said the company with the ad was a different company than who the charge came from on my credit card. Also the credit card company didn’t have any contact information. Again the merchant was Rikim on the credit card.
