Yikes ! good grief, what a pain !
Thank you for the notice on this one !
I sure hope you get your refund for this one !
You know, I think I saw something the other day about a site & ppl who are working to reduce the number of sites like this. I shall scout around a little & see if I can find out more !
Having once been scammed (tho very luckily it was for a rather small sum) but now 3 years later it is still an irriatation, because only half of an order was shipped .......... ahhh well that vendor is long gone (at least in that "costume").....
