Complaint Review: All Legal Herbal - Dmitiry Novikov

Stay away, don't be tempted. This website is a sham and will take your money. The site itself is built using images and text ripped from other sites offering the same products. They entice victims by advertising wholesale, or near wholesale pricing at smaller quantities than other legitimate sites offer. They also have products listed for sale and in stock that other suppliers no longer offer.

The website is complete, looks professional and legitimate. All elements are standard and pretty much normal for an e-commerce site until you get to the payment portion of your order.

Upon placing an order, you will soon receive what is most likely an automated email with a detailed invoice and details of your order along with an order number. Then, within 24-48 hours you receive another email offering four options to satisfy payment:

1-Western Union - Online

OR

2-Western Union Agent (They even list the closest 2-3 locations to you with their hours and phone# - nice of them huh..)

To: Dmitriy Novikov / Almaty / Kazakhstan
3-Bank Wire Transfer

To:Beneficiary: JSC BTA Bank,
Republic of Kazakhstan, Almaty, Joldasbekova 97 str.

Bank beneficiary account number(transit count): KZ73319H010000584249
SWIFT code: ABKZKZKX
IBAN KZ49319G010003798341

Details of Payment: Dmitriy Novikov
Purpose of Payment: Private transfer
4-Liberty Reserve - Currency Brokerage Service (of sorts...)

They also request that you email them transaction details after you complete whichever method you choose. Although they do not use the VISA/MC logo's or direct verbiage on their site, it is presented that a traditional credit card payment option is available even in the email giving the 4 options above. It begins with "...pay via credit card VISA, MC or Bank Transfer", you soon realize they are referring to using your cc at Western Union or Liberty Reserve.

If you fail to reply, you will receive emails every 2 days from them stating, "Order Updated - WE WAIT YOU PAYMENT" until your order is cancelled 6-7 days later. I, however, even somewhat skeptical decided to extend my trust to this company and give them a chance.

It has been 17 days since I placed my order, and 13 days since I was notified that Dmitriy Novikov collected my payment. I have made 4 email requests between then and now asking nicely then demanding some sort of update or even acknowledgment pertaining to my order with no response at all. Digging deeper led me here to the one other report on this company so at least maybe I can help others not be victims.

Notes: If using Gmail - Every email that was sent to my gmail had a warning at the top that "This message may not have been sent by xzx@ gmail.com" Also, I tracked the last message I sent them and it showed that it was read by ip 202.150.1.24 which points to servers in Cambodia. This ip is also listed as a spammer and is linked to harvesters in several countries including Kazakhstan.

FACTS - I know that someone presenting himself as Dmitriy Novikov collected my payment in Alpaty Kazakhstan and that I have not gotten neither my money returned to me nor any product or service delivered to me, and that despite several attempts, this company nor any representative therein has given me any reason to not believe that this is 100% rip-off, scam, THEFT! I will pursue justice relentlessly, without fail!
