SwapSellTrade.com - JOE@swapselltrade ripoff ignore lie waste time and money Hillsboro Oregon
First of all, I am so amazed to see that if you type wholesale into any search engine how SwapSellTrade is always one of the first sites to pop up, like it is some legitmate company. Or like a lot of us assumed it was because it was all over the place and usually the first website we saw... Anyways. I tried to buy some CZ earings for wholesale 108 Pair for 13 dollars, and luckily I only bought two pairs, and since shipping was "free" I paid only 26 bucks. But, the first thing I noticed on their website was how their pay pal icon looked funky. But I ignored it. THEN after processing my information and submitting my purchase, instead of saying order confirmed and giving me some type of Confirmation....It just said something like thanks! and that was it. THEN I had a real uneasy feeling....Well a few days later I got my "tracking number" and my "receipt" which had no important legit real info, it was a pretty basic, crappy email somebody just wrote up real fast. . . I thought, Ok well thats good I got SOMETHING!! So I waited a few weeks and Still got nothing, and so I went into my emails (I save EVERYTHING) - and I actually had one or two different addressed for the swapp sell trade:::Which I thought both addresses seemed pretty funKy- So I wrote one, real nice email, basically saying hey whats up where's my stuff, let me know. Then I got a mailer deamon returned email. I double checked, everything was right, so I emailed to the 2nd address....... Same thing happened. I was like.... &*#%!!! THEN I remembered I had used "PAY PAL" on their website, and i just recently set up my own pay pal account which lets me view everything, and they were NOT on there.. so I knew that was part of the scam as well.
THEN I checked my Credit card, and it HAD indeed been charged, and listed the --- on my statement... So I then Went back onto the web, pasted that number into search engine to see what happened... and found this site. d**n them. The scary thing is that they have my credit card number somewhere... and I just hope they cant - steal my identity or something.
ANY ADVICE? Should I change all my info?? I am lucky I only lost 26 bucks and I am sorry for those who lost more but, we need to bust their *** THANKS

I reported Joe and all of his scamming friends to the BBB and to the Federal Trade Commission. People like Joe Richy and the affiliate he plays with are crooks and they don't care... BUT, the FTC will keep track of complaints and when they see a pattern, thet will investigate. They are not an intermediary(sp), but they will do something when they see he is as bad as we all know! The BBB on the other hand, wil try to get a dialoge going that can be useful sometimes...but at least the complaint will be on file when others who are smarter (than me) go to check Joe out before doing business(if you can call it that). I would also like to say you can go two ways here...first if you are strong enough, push it to the max...even if it cost more than your loss...but a lawyer can write a letter for you and usually will charge 100-200 dollars and it may scare him. Or, if you don't have the strength ( which is understandable), or the money...then cut your losses and walk away...you are not at fault and you have been victimized. Joe and the rest of the scum will be caught eventually and pay in mor ethan one way.

You can also file a complaint with the Search Engines - let them know he is a crook, misleading and also he spams his site with keywords - they will drop him like a hot potatoe - believe me they will

Hi Sarah,
I'm so sorry to hear you have had the unfortunate luck to join Joey Ritchey's long list of scammed victims. Sadly, justice is slow but surely is coming his way soon.
It's sad to say, but even if your emails didn't get returned and made it to him, it wouldn't have made any difference. You would have recieved back an arrogant, nasty, could care less about customer service response from him, like so many of his victims here have. He basically tells you "I've scammed you and have your credit card # and there isn't anything you can do about it".
In order to help stop this scumbag you will need to file reports against him with the Attorney Generals Office in your state and in his home state of Oregon. You should also file complaints with the Internet Fraud Bureau, the Postal Inspectors and the BBB.
My suggestion would be to defintely close out your account and open a new one. This low life inbreed will almost certainly try charging you again or will simply sell your info to others that are involved in his scam network.
It's a sad fact but you simply cannot take any chances with your information when dealing with someone who has proven beyond any doubt that he is a crook, thief, liar and con man.
Also, just to alert everyone to Joe's new identy that he is using to rip people off under, beware of his new alias kentstrading which he is doing business under (at least his email address is now kentstrading). As many of his victims already know and have seen, scumbag Joe changes his email address, web site URL and business name regularly to throw future victims off his trail.
