Total money lost $20

Type of a scam Online Purchase

Found the website over social media (Facebook/Twitter). They have Trump campaign hats and flags on the site and claim to only have you cover shipping costs for their products. I purchased two items for a total of $20 on July 12th, 2018. Upon purchase I received a “confirmation” email with a fake tracking number. Waited 2 weeks and decided to write an email to the email listed on the website ([email protected]), store never responded to email. At this point I did research to find that I wasn’t the only individual that was scammed by this website. This same website was active in 2016 as an anti-Trump resistance store (same address, premiumpickups.com) which at some point in 2018 converted to a pro-Trump store. All of this information can be gathered from old Twitter posts from 2017 confirming the scam, current complaints can be found on Google search and scam check websites.
