Scammers are rampant on the Google sponsored pages in Australia. Please take note.
A clothing website called Armoire Melbourne advertise cashmere jumpers or wool jumpers and when you receive them they are just polyester. Not only they lie in their website but also when asked by email before they ship the product. Items are not cheap so that is one way they entice customers. But the main point is their use of Australian cities in their company name so there is Armoire Melbourne, But also found similar products and modus operandi at websites Ardor Sydney, Mills Melbourne, Ami-Melbourne, etc. You do a Google search as “wool jumper” and you will find these scammers among honest companies. They use Australia Post to send their items so that is another way they entice people. It arrives from an address in NSW. Their returns and exchanges policy is a joke, they ask to contact them by email and then they send you a standard response about returning the items to them and that it has to be paid by the customer using the method of their choice. But they don’t even put an address!. And when they give you an address it is an obscure address in China. Out of curiosity I have tried to find that place and I reckon it doesn’t exist. They claim to reimburse the return cots but give no details of how they will do that. Total scam.
I feel they are going to stunk a lot of people because they are using Google, Australia Post and with all those websites using Australian cities, so it is easy to get sucked. I have written to ACCC and even Australia Post, also report it to Google, which they probably ignore because they just want their advertising money.
How easy is to scam people in Australia.
