We responded to a Facebook ad for carryon luggage at a close out price. It was advertised by QVC and had Laura doing the sales pitch. It had all the trappings of QVC so we ordered two pieces. Fast forward we received an email telling us our luggage will be shipped when order is processed. Didn't get the order for over two weeks, so we called QVC to check on shipment time. QVC told us they never had a video on Facebook on that date selling luggage. I check our CC company and saw two charges, one for a small amount, then the charge for the luggage. The charges originated in London. I then got an email from them that day with a tracking #, which the link was not live, also a customer help email which was not live. Card was canceled and charges reversed. QVC informed us the scammers can duplicate QVC video and run them as it was live. Be careful on Facebook with the opportunity to buy product at a sell out price. Check with QVC first.
