consumer warning: Zolucky is a scam. (attractive clothing -- ads everywhere online)


Well, I guess I fell for it.

It was the green t-shirt that says "Hell yes, I can drive a stick" and the green leather shoes that sucked me in.

Now I learn that it's a scam. Stuff is cheap trash and is shipped from China, if shipped at all.

I'm likely out $95.

I did use PayPal, so maybe I'll eventually retrieve the $.

I'll never buy anything advertised on facebook. If I see something I like, I'll go google and see if it can be purchased elsewhere.

I got a pair of boots that looked great, for the price, but when I got them they seemed cheap, and were very uncomfortable. Just crap.

It's a cheap piece of crap that doesn't work at all like the commercial video. Yes, a Facebook ad. Never again.

Beware items for sale on their ‘Marketplace’ pages. Items get listed for an extremely good price, but contacting the seller raises red flags immediately. The clincher is requesing payment in gift cards. I’ve alerted FB, but they seem not to GAF.

But I once brought what I thought was a stuffed cat that walked and it turned out it was a little miniature cat that made meowing sounds. I was out $15 and vowed to never buy anything from those ads again. When I see something now I go to EBay and usually find it cheaper. The shipping costs on Zolucky is a dead giveaway when you check out a purchase is a scam.

I ordered a nice looking leather jacket only to be sent a cheap piece of crap from China that was basically a bathrobe. I had to threaten and threaten them and finally got my money back through Paypal. Then I saw the same ad but under a different company name. Never again.

an ad on Facebook.

I am mystified as to why anyone on the Left willfully deals with a fascist corporation.

I got an email purportedly offering a $100 gift certificate from Lowes for being such a good customer. On the email were about 30 various "gifts" that I could choose.

I googled the email address and it came up as a legitimate site.

So I took a chance and selected a set of sheets for only the shipping cost of $10 or so.

The sheets came, and frankly they are terrific! Soft, smooth and well made.

But!!!! A few weeks later, my CC was charged $110 for the sheets. My fault I'm sure, for not examining the fine print.

I would never in a million years pay $120 for sheets. Beware.
