I am going to close my Paypal account. It is full of scams and Paypal does not give a **bleep**. ... View more

Fedex is equally complicit. They sent me a tracking number through Paypal but refused to tell me where the item was delivered, only verbally confirming it was not to my name or address. ... View more

We must all report these Paypal-enabled scams to out state attorneys general. FEDEX is complicit, too, as they send out tracking information that confirms shipment to a completly different address and then refuse to give out any information, like the address they actually "delivered" to. ...

review the tracking number through the USPO.  They probably delivered something .. that's how they get away with it. PayPal knows about this scam is has done NOTHING to help any of us who have been scammed. There are 48 pages on this thread alone!  Ridiculous. But if you received any worthless piece of random junk in your mailbox with no explanation, it was likely whatever they sent you instead of the real item you wanted. I receive a 6" wooden doll in the mail -- random, creepy. We had no idea where it had come from. Only later, through the tracking information from the USPS, we discovered this was what Unilone had sent to me instead of the 36" monkey lamp I had ordered. The USPO slip showed the item weighed less than 4 ounces and was in a small mailing envelope, which proved to anyone paying attention that Unilone had **bleep** me. PayPal didn't care, telling me I had to (at my own expense) send it back to China in order to get my refund. After endless arguments wtih PayPal, the timeframe expired. I couldn't even get my bank to refund the money because more than 45 days had passed since I'd placed the order. Very frustrating. PayPal and FB and Venmo are all complicit in these scams and we really need a consumer advocate to take up our cause here.    ... View more

Have you received any worthless piece of junk in your mailbox -- something that is a mystery?  I had ordered a monkey lamp for my condo in Costa Rica, and one day found a 6" wooden doll in my mailbox. We had no idea where it had come from. Weeks later, I contacted the seller of the monkey lamp to ask where it was. They provided a USPO slip showing a delivery. I live in a condo complex, so a 36" monkey lamp could not possibly fit in my tiny mailbox. When I looked at the PO receipt, it showed "item weighing less than 4 ounces" or something along those lines. Another clear indication that it was not the monkey lamp. And based on the dates, I figured out that the piece of random junk that had arrived in my mailbox in a small envelope was what they were passing off as my (electric!) monkey lamp. So, if you got some rubber balls or toothbrushes randomly in your mailbox, that is the "bait and switch" crap you received from Unilone and you should immediately dispute it with PayPal. And refuse to send it back to them as they will charge you an arm and a leg for shipping. Tell PayPal there are more than 48 pages of complaints against this company on their community pages and that they must refund you immediately before you call the consumer advocate in your state.   ...

I agree. PayPal is complicit. They allow these scammers to keep being paid through PayPal rather than warning people that it is likely a scam. It is a disgrace. They perpetuate the fraud by requiring the person who has been scammed to jump through a million hoops -- show us what piece of crap Unilone sent you. They then show you a receipt that Unilone sent something. You then have to prove that it was worthless and NOT AS DESCRIBED. By then, the time limit has expired for returns and you get **bleep**. My wife was going to throw away the piece of junk we got in the mail and I kept it only because it was a mystery where it had come from and why we'd received it. It was only later, when I contacted Unilone to say I'd never received my order, that they told me it was sent and I pieced it all together. I was supposed to get a lamp. Instead I got a 6" wooden figurine worth less than 50 cents. Lots of people just toss the worthless junk but PayPal expects you to send it back to China using your own money. Unilone knows most won't bother because the shipping to China, even for a tiny item, is ridiculously expensive. And good luck ever getting a refund -- I have hear horror stories of people who sent the crap back and then Unilone denies they ever received it.    ... View more

Yes, PayPal, Facebook, Venmo and the rest all care about making money and not about the people they are serving. FB is fraught with scammers who want to be paid through PayPal or Venmo, and there is virtually no recourse for those who have been scammed. At the very least, PayPay owes it to its members to flag companies as "potential scams" or noting that other PayPal users have filed complaints against these companies. There are hundreds of complaints on here against Unilone and still PayPal keeps sending them money from those who remain unaware. It is shameful.   ... View more

I had PayPal send me the proof, which was a tracking number for a package through the USPS. So, it's mail fraud, too.  Have you received anything weird in the mail lately? I did .. it was a tiny toy that had no business being in my mailbox. It seemed very weird. And random.  I would never have suspected this was what was sent to me instead of a lamp. Maybe I'm an idiot, but it never crossed my mind that a tiny wooden doll was supposed to be my monkey lamp that was something like 2-feet tall! I was able to send a photo of the doll I received as well as a picture of what I was supposed to receive. PayPal then opened an investigation. But now they are saying I have to send the ####ing thing back to China, which will cost a fortune. Facebook should be penalized for allowing these trashy scams. We feel like fools. PayPal doesn't give a crap. But in my mind, this is mail fraud and the USPS is aiding and abetting these scammers by delivering this crap to our doors.   ... View more

Sorry to tell you, but I bought a lamp from these scammers, too. What I receive was a cheap wooden articulating doll. Worth maybe 15 cents. SCAMMERS and PayPal lets people keep placing orders through them. They should be shut down. Or at least when a PayPal user tries to buy something, PalPay should put up a flag saying that many users have reported being scammed by this company. It's horrible.  ... View more
