Type of a scam Online Purchase

I found through internet search and ordered some sports equipment at a good discount. I received a confirmation email with two days. On the website it looked like an official "Authorize.net" transaction. I never received the product nor any response to further emails sent. I saw no charges on any of my credit card accounts. However several weeks later my credit card company contacted me with an alert of close to $2000 in travel charges. Luckily my credit company flagged it and the charges did not go through. I had to cancel my card. It was definitely this "company." When I started to look at this business I realized that I wasn’t alone. I don’t understand how they are still in business. No product and scammed my credit card!

I purchased an item from their website on June 10th. I received an automated response that they had received my order and it was being processed.

I never heard back from them after sending an e-mail asking for more information on when I would receive the item. Sent e-mails on June 24th and July 3rd. I then found their phone number on their website and called. Having no one answering the phone I left a message on either June 24th or July 3rd or around those dates. Still no answer from them as of this date July 23rd. The item in question was a Hamilton Beach toaster oven.

Type of a scam Online Purchase

searched for an item a dvd player and found the cheapest by far (almost half price) was this one from them. I have never ordered from them before so I purposely printed out what info they gave me. they even sent a confirmation email to me but, upon wondering what happened to my dvd player, I found no log in at their website to check my order no phone number and no email. I tried responding to the email i received and nothing..a month later, I found illegal transactions on a credit card all from china, all from the day I ordered this, and so on. However they tried to confuse you by charging a little different amount each time on my card.

This online retailer advertises fraudulent loss leader products/pricing. My example: They list a LG 65" Television (see image), for $2,250. This exact same same product (including SKU), is listed on Best Buy at over $4,400. The retailer has a fake address in Oklahoma. The social media links on their website (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) are linked back to their Contact Page. The phone number goes to a woman’s voicemail with no reference at all to Sport Central or sportecentral.com. I did not go ahead with the purchase after reading several complaints online about this retailer taking orders, but not sending products, and ghosting their customers.
