Complaint Review: Stuff 2 Buy - Best Bargains USA - Stuff2Buy

I placed an order through Stuff 2 Buy last week given their great price. I have yet to receive a confirmation or tracking number, although my paypal account was
debited.

However, a little research online-- and some really
unprofessional behavior from this guy, whose name is
James-- has verified that this is a scam business.

He was formerly doing business as "Best Bargains USA"
also in Virginia. Once he got busted by irate
customers, he changed to another phone number...but
Google never forgets...

The guy's name is James . I know this first because I
found his name online in some scam forums.

I verified this by calling the service number listed
on the emails we received, and some guy simply said
"Hello?" When I asked him if it was James, he
nervously asked who I was. When I said I wanted to
order something, he then said he was James. I then
mentioned my order, said I have received no
confirmation, etc. He then got defensive and said ir
would go out on Tuesday. Then when I asked him to
confirm it would, he said, "oh, your order was
cancelled," then became hostile, and said "I don't
need to deal with this BULLSHIT" and hung up on me.

I had never cancelled my order.

I have contacted Paypal and they are going to refund
my money. I hope you all can do the same. If you
want to know about James and his former businesses,

This is what someone has written about him online:

>>"James is anything but legit! He's a two bit crook
working out of a $70k house in Virginia (which means
it's a piece of c**p based on real estate prices in
VA). He tried to pull the same scam on me for an
escrow.com order. He short ships, and/or ships the
wrong items (always with a total value WAY below what
your order is), and then tries to get you to order
MORE, so he'll ship out the correct order.

I told him to ship via ground on a Friday because I
wasn't going to be home on the weekend, and I didn't
want to have the inspection period start when I wasn't
physically there to inspect it. So what does he do, he
ships it NEXT DAY AIR, with Saturday delivery! He was
under the impression that if he could show delivery,
the clock would tick and force me to either, 1) accept
the shipment without the benefit of inspection, or 2)
I'd have to reject and ship it back. It turns out I
didn't have to be away as expected, so I caught his
little scam when it arrived.

He shipped completely different items than what I had
ordered. When I rejected the shipment on escrow.com,
he almost IMMEDIATELY called to ask why. When I told
him it wasn't what I ordered, he said "Those were FREE
gifts for being such a good customer, and your actual
order went out today via NDA". WHAT BS! Who sends out
$2k in free stuff for a $10k order?! He then tries to
get me to buy more stuff so I can get my real order,
because now he has to call back my recently shipped
order from FedEx.

And when I send the crap back that he sent, HE rejects
the shipment back claiming I didn't return everything.
Luckily for me, I had a hunch that I was being set-up
because the weight of the box listed for the tracking
number was way too light for my order. I still have
the emails he sent to me accusing me of trying to rip
him off! So, when it came, I took pics of EVERYTHING,
from unopened box, to all contents inside the box. I
was almost forced to go through arbitration at an
additional cost of $500 to get this cleared up and get
my money released until Brandon Abbey, the president
of escrow.com, stepped in.

He sent both of us an email saying that he knew one of
us was trying to commit fraud, and that he had a
contact in the FBI Cyber Forensic Unit that he'd be
more than happy to turn the case over to in order to
clear this up. Lo and Behold, within the hour James
accepts the return shipment, and my funds are
released.

People, this guy is nothing but a scammer and a thief.
I know personally that someone on this forum has lost
some serious money to this guy. DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD
THAT HE SAYS!"
Best of luck, folks.
