Proud American Supply Ordered and payed for shirt which was never sent Other
I ordered a shirt and my daughter did as well. Shirts were never recieved but payment was taken immediantly. This is a company that states that a large part of their profits go to veterans organizations. As a veteran I will support a company that supports veterans. After six emails to customer service with no response and still no product I have to assume this is a scam. I also don't believe that they support any veterans groups and never did. Just used this to suck people in. Shame on this company for using and treating veterans this way. Beware and don't order!!!!

It is seven weeks now with no response from this company. Money was probably ripped off.

Thank you for your service.
Thank you for altering the public to this scam website. It looks like the scammer has taken it down already. It is a common tactic for the scammers to be up long enough to get hundreds of people to fall for their product and send the money. The consumers never get the products as you have discovered. Then the website is taken down.
There are so many fake websites online these days. They are designed to be attractive enough for you to send money for something - anything. How can you tell if the website is run by a scammer before you send your money? There are some tips that I use. There are probably other ways to check too, but for me the easiest way is to:
1) Look at the domain name in the url bar - a long domain name with unusual names and numbers and other characters in it is a red flag. Many times the name doesn't make any sense at all or relate to the products that are featured and this is another red flag.
2) The design of the website is clearly an amaturish template type website but the descriptions are very short and grammatically incorrect.
3) The prices are too good to be true - this is a red flag especially when looking at a website for a company you have never seen before.
4) The website was just created within days, weeks or months of the date you are viewing it. To check go to whois and look up the domain registration date and length of time the name has been registered, usually a year on the scammer websites. This step only takes a minute and is one of the best ways to determine if the operator of the shopping site is a scammer or not.
There are more tips, take a few minutes to research what you need to do to avoid scam websites. The above 4 tips will get you started and save you time and money.
