Yup, I was taken and fell hook, line, and sinker. What a chump!
I saw a pair of boots I wanted to buy at a great price on a store website, but they didn't have my size. They were also available at a couple other store sites, but again not in my size! Then I found them in my size! I typed in my shipping information, credit card information, and placed the order immediately in the heat of the moment with a sigh of relief. Done, and I got my dream boots!
Then, a nagging feeling. Looked back at the website--no phone number to contact them. No e-mail with confirmation came. Chinese company with glossy website. I typed in the company name in google and a host of complaints about a sham company who takes your money and never ships the product.
My credit card was immediately charged. I cancelled the card and am disputing the purchase. But I am mainly shamefaced about being played a fool in a moment of sartorial greed.
