Scam Chinese Site: www.tropicstorm.com

[nikolas22t]

I bought from TropicStorm.com 10 Tshirts and 2 belts paying $220. After seller got the money he gave me a fake Tracking number and disappeared. I tried to contact him via the phone number listed in their website and its fake. Thanks god i pay with paypal and i am sure that i will get my money back, but please avoid buying from untrastfull sellers likeTropicstorm. I also send an email to paypal that he ran a scam site and also to Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) (FBI). I hope this seller will pay for what he did.

Hi. im saddened with ur situation, yes atleast u made the payment through paypal and 100 percent u get ur money back. most of sellers or website in China are not capable of performing or delivering their goods. they just think that business is easy and they follow what is the trends and duplicate others. so others even they dont intend to cheat, in the end they will since they cant produce the products they are advertising. there are also those who offer lower price to screw and scam people.

In October, Through friends i purchased a motorcycle from their company, I received tracking number soon after i do payment . About 6 days I have received my products. Motorcycles I've been using a month ago, without any trouble. Now i have introduced some friends to buy their products. We are all think their products good .
I'm sure you certainly did not pay anything but trying to cheat, you do not succeed, so the false accusations at others. Either you are their competitors, malicious slander them
