I too got ripped off by these fake Ugg-selling A-holes... but in my case, PayPal saved the day. I spoke to someone personally at PayPal (customer service number in the U. S is *******506)... I'd recommend speaking to someone personally before opening a dispute online, as an online dispute can be tricky. Here's why... PayPal will only get you your money back if your items were never received. So, for example, if you placed an order with Uggsaler.com, and you were actually sent something in the mail (even if they were janky fake uggs), then PayPal can't help you out. It's when you receive nothing from the "merchant" that PayPal will step in and get you your money back. But here's the catch: when opening a dispute online, you have to first specify why you need to open your dispute. The site gives you choices to "check" (for example, "I never received my items"or "My items are not as described by the merchant")... and if you happen to check a reason that PayPal doesn't deal with, you're automatically disabled from continuing your dispute claim. This is what happened to me, and it was a HUGE pain. SO... That's why it's better to call customer service and talk to a human. When I called, I told them everything that happened, and they explained their dispute policy to me again (exactly what I just explained above... that PayPal won't refund you if you received something "fake" or something that was "not as described" when you bought it). The customer service rep told me that one thing I could do was to refuse the package if it arrived. By refusing the package (whether that means not signing for it, or sending it back with your postman), the package is technically not in your possession. Then, after a certain amount of time passes, and with no package in your possession (technically because you refused it), PayPal can get you a refund. So, based on PayPal's advice, I decided I'd go for it. But lo and behold, I had a refund from PayPal within 24 hours. My guess is that so many people were complaining to PayPal about these fake effers in China (it was around Christmas, and I'm sure a lot of people were buying from them, that PayPal stepped in and gave refunds. I don't know if the situation would be the same with credit card companies or banks. But I can say I did get a full refund through PayPal! :)

Oh and they overcharged me said 164 charged 169

Omg do not buy anything from this website... FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE!

A man walked into a bar and met a woman who said she had a $30,000 car, brand new, for only $9990. 95. She had a photo which she claimed was of the car, or at least a similar one, but she didn't actually have the car with her. The man looked at the photo. It was a car he'd always wanted, and his neighbor had one, but he knew he didn't earn enough to buy one for himself. Then the woman told the man that she knew a guy at the factory and they did these bargain backdoor deals all the time, so it was OK and he could trust her. It was just that she needed the money right away because she was leaving the country on the following day, and hadn't yet paid for her airfare, but if she could get the money today she'd call her mate at the factory who would probably deliver the car in a week or two.

Now the man who walked into the bar, let's call him, umm, Al Sucker, he didn't see anything at all suspicious about this. Even when he'd said he'd buy the car, and she'd asked him to wire the money to a Korean post office, it all seemed reasonable enough. When he got home, his wife told him how she'd gone online and bought a pair of boots at the website of a company she'd never heard of, "Mycardyuggybooter", but it had nice photos of fashionably skinny models and the prices were unbelievable. She'd been particularly impressed by a testimonial from "A freind" which read "I got your boot yesteday and I, am so pleased it is the real deal I will come back to your sight and buy more pair of boot's 4 all my freinds". She didn't understand why the delivery was 10-12 days, it wasn't as if they were coming from China or something. But the time would soon pass. And she could wear them to go out in the new car.

Please, don't be a sucker. These people are employed in the business of parting you from your money, and the easier you make it for them, the happier they'll be. This one is a trader out of Putian, center of the counterfeiting trade in the province of Fujian, in South-Eastern China. Registrant details for the site are clearly fake, unless the owner's name really is "8888 8888" which is unlikely.

You will maybe get a pair of cheap Chinese fake boots from here, and maybe you won't get a thing. You certainly will not get the authentic products and please beware of fake reviewers who pop up to tell us that after all, they got their boots and they're totally authentic. Or that they're such high quality that you can't tell the difference. Or indeed anything other than the truth, which is that this is one of thousands of similar illegal sites fronting operations set up for the sole purpose of fooling you out of your money.

What can you do? Get educated. Go and read the counterfeiting education pages at UGG® Australia, especially the one on how to *avoid* getting caught:

=========================================

If you don't feel like reading through all that, at least bear in mind these rules:

1. ANY site, such as "uggsaler.com", which claims to sell genuine UGG® Australia boots but has "ugg" or "cardy" or any other genuine style name in the address is selling FAKES.

2. ANY boot which is claimed to be an UGG® Australia product made in Australia, is FAKE (they aren't made in Australia, regardless of the name).

3. ANY Chinese trader who claims to be selling UGG® Australia boots is selling FAKES.

4. ANY seller offering only "Australian uggs" is not selling UGG® Australia boots. If he had them, he'd say so.

If you get screwed over, don't expect to get your money back, don't expect to be able to return your goods, and broadly speaking don't expect "customer service". These people are all trading illegally but are untouched by the authorities in their home countries. They aren't subject to your laws and there's nobody useful to report them to. They use phony names and addresses, or don't bother to give names or addresses at all. One trader may run hundreds of sites hosted on servers all over the world and choose names and registrars so that the sites appear to be in other countries. It's a billion-dollar business and these people are as slippery as the proverbial eels. Get educated and please, tell your friends too. Spread the word, it's the best weapon we have.
