My husband found out that the Sam Ash Music stores were closing and saw an ad on Facebook to buy equipment at highly discounted prices. It took him to a website with the Sam Ash logo and he ordered 2 guitars. It went through PayPal but when the charge came up, it was from a scammer in China. I called PayPal to let them know not to pay it, but I was told that because it was pending, I would have to wait 7 days and call back. WHAT! I'm letting them know that numerous people are buying from the fake site but they won't do anything about it now??
Buyers beware. Do not go to a Sam Ash site from Facebook - it a scam!

Exact same thing happened to me and I feel the same way. Now I will tread even more carefully through cyberspace.

I'm experiencing the same issue. When I saw the payment was made to (I originally copied and pasted the Chinese characters of the "seller" here. Got an error message that these characters aren't allowed. Very ironic that PayPal didn't have a problem paying this entitiy; but won't allow me to write it) and not Sam Ash, I contacted PayPal. I have send them 3 messages about this being a known scam--but they told me I have to wait till May 25 for the 'seller' to respond. Even more puzzling, PayPal told me to file a case with the FBI; which I did, but PayPal still won't acknowledge that they know this is fraud. Now the "seller" is sending me fake tracking information. I hope PayPal doesn't rely on this. I am really angry with PayPal. Thers should be a simple resolution to just refund my money. Anyone have other ideas on how to put pressure on PayPal?
