Months ago, I was doing some shopping in burlingtoncoatfactory.com. They had a sale and had so many items with quality. I finally decided to give a try and ordered a dress. I paid $32.00 for it.

Just like any other purchase, during check out, I had place my credit card information, shipping address and billing information.  I placed the order, paid it and I got my order confirmation.  After that, I seen this message saying the order qualifies for a cash back! This SOUNDS good, but when you take a closer look there is a not so hidden fee.

So I clicked on the link that says Cash back and it took me to another page.  So I signed up for a cash back and I had put my personal information sent to “shipping.com”.

I checked my mail to see if there was anything about the “cash back”.  I got suspicious when nothing came.  I went to google to find a review about the $15.00 cash back by shipping.com.   I realized that they are going to charge me monthly and has a 30 day trial period.  I was not aware of it because it does not say anything like that while you are signing up or maybe that is in very small print.

I immediately went back to shipping.com and cancelled it.

I don’t think that the shipping.com “cash back” deal is necessarily is a scam, but I think they should be more transparent about the monthly charge.

Scam Alert!

Mbayi Ambo is offering members of facebook group a passport for $150.00. For $150 dollars she claims that she can get an exemptions from the medical at St Lukes AND exemption from appearing of the US embassy interview.

This is not possible. It is a scam for sure. Even if you get a fake visa/passport and bypass the medical and Interview, the US Customs Border Protection requires a package that you can only get from the Embassy.

She claims that she is from New York but her profile says Ontario,Canada. She is also using fake photos in her profile in Facebook.
