I placed an order for sports supplements with The Juiced Moose (www.thejuicedmoose.com) on 1/11/2009. I received an email two days later saying that my order would ship via UPS in 2-3 business days. It has now been 11 business days, and after leaving three voicemails and three emails to their service department, I still have not heard a word from theses scam artists.
When you call their phone number it automatically routes you to a voicemail (which they don't respond to) and they request that you email them (which they also don't respond to).
When you order from them they make you pay with paypal (and are very quick to bill you). In hindsight I wonder if this makes if more difficult to get your money back?
The icing on the cake here is that if you type their address into google maps, the 'street view' is an empty parking lot.
Do not be tempted by the low prices this site, because it is a scam. Now I have to fight with my credit card company to get my money back.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I had the same experience with the Juiced Moose. Jan 11, 2009 paid them for goods Paypal. They never sent items, don't answer emails, took money. I registered a complaint with Paypal. They "investigated", upheld my claim, but then said they could do nothing as there were no funds in the Moose account to recover. I notice the Moose is still advertising, stealing money, and nothing is being done about it. Paypal should move towards shutting them down. Instead it is just tuff luck for the consumer. I really was shocked that this could go on. Beware of the Moose and all internet dealing.
Same thing happened to me. I placed an order in December 2008 and have never received it as of 02-08-2009. Working with paypal and my credit card to get my money back.
I also had the same experience on January 15th. DON'T BUY FROM THEM! PayPal just came back after I lodged a complaint and there is nothing they can do to get my money back. I now have to waste my time with my Credit Card Company. $100 down the drain!
