| Scam contents | I ordered a kit of an antique model car kit and got something like this: https://shopee.ph/Classical-Car-No.HY62-13A-i.50108242.7416927449 only it isn't as nice as that model car. |
| Comment / Review | I definitely linked the shipping ID number of the metal model car kit to the delivered, assembled metal car model so I got something for my money, but not what was advertised, nor what I wanted.

Yup, got me too. This was the scammers response:
"This is in response to your inquiry regarding the problem of what you received. It is normal that there are some differences between real products and advertisments.
Please accept our sincere apology for any inconvenience this matter may have caused you. We suggest that you keep the package due to high price of the shipping fee. And it's dangerous outside because of the spread of COVID-19. So we would like to give you a partial refund of $10 as compensation, is this acceptable?" Differences? They advertise a Working kit car and send a toy. Yea, I'd say a LOT different.
So basically keep what we sent you and LIKE IT otherwise you PAY LOTS OF MONEY to RETURN, HAHAHA. I'm Reporting them to the FTC and Paypal, hopefully Paypal takes away their account away if enough people complain. And will never ever ever click on a Yahoo ad. Stupid Yahoo, they don't check ads they run if their legit and ruin it for the ones that are.

I ordered two detailed steam assembly kits from Kayaera ads on the Yahoo home page for a total of $85. I received two children's toy die-cast cars worth just a few dollars. PayPal insists that I return the items to a China address at my expense even though the delivered items were shipped from Carson, CA. The cost of shipping to China far exceeds the value of the items. I feel that I have been defrauded and PayPal is not helping.

Got scammed on the same metal car kit. Received same cheap model in its place. Got the same excuses and same refund offer. I had ordered another item which I never received an order confirmation. I did ask and did receive a refund on that item as it was never sent although they did try to have me wait for it with some excuse about the holiday causing plants to be shut down. Requested the order be cancelled and a refund was received. Should have known that an item that is being sold for 1/10 the cost on regular sites was a scam.

Yes, I also used PayPal to pay for a bait and switch order. But, I used a credit card through PayPal. I called my issuer and filed a dispute with them. I sent the seller pictures of what I ordered and what I received and they offered me $6.00. I told them NO, I want a full refund (merchandise plus shipping costs=$59.98). My charge account has been credited pending the outcome of the investigation. Folks, these items actually cost around $300 each from a legitimate source.

This is definitely a scam. The Kayaera advert looks perfect and legit so I ordered and paid for a steam engine model. About 5 weeks later I received a cheap model car worth about $1. Getting a refund from the company turned into a real fiasco. The company gave me all kinds of run around and refused to refund my money. PayPal didn't have the clout to force the vendor to refund. Lesson to the wise: before buying anything on the internet do some basic internet searches to determine if the company has been reported as a scam.

I purchased a model car offf of PayPal for $47.98. The packaged arrived with a toy car worth perhaps $8.00. The purchase that I made through PayPal was for a model car that I would put together. I made a complaint through the resolution dispute via PayPal. The vendor offered me 20% refund then two days later offered me a 40% refund. I returned the toy cat back to the Chinese address as instructed for a full refund.
What was curious is that the product was sent from James Charles, LESSMORE LTD, 1550 Glenn Curtis Street Carson, CA 90746. Mr. Charles has acted as an agent for the Chinese distributor on PayPal.
I have returned the misrepresented item to the Hong Kong address provided by the vendorL PayPal has acted as an intermediary so I'm hoping that this will be handled with a full refund. It makes me want to avoid using PayPal in the future since they cannot determine scam vendors on their platform.

As someone who owns brass trains. The moment I saw that ad I knew that there was no way in hell that they could sell such a highly detailed model such as that for $49.97. Even if somebody was paid .10 cents an hour to make it. It's sad that people even fall for it. That's how they get away with it.
Highly detailed brass trains are not mass produced and cost at a minimum several hundred dollars and more for a simple rail car. Steam engines such as that one can go for between $5000 and $10,000 easily. Diesel locomotives $2000 to $3,000.

I won the dispute at both PayPal and credit card company, and got full refund without returning their junk. A couple suggestions here, 1. In PayPal dispute, this scam company didn’t even put the complete return address there, there was no recipient name and phone number and there was no company name. All you need to do is to contact this scam company and ask their complete address, they will refuse to do that. You need to keep this evidence and contact PayPal. It is very understandable that a scam company can’t give you real name, phone number, and address (by the way I don’t think the address they put in PayPal dispute is legit, they simply put a fake China or Hong Kong address to discourage you to return), otherwise law enforcement will easily track them down later. 2. contact your credit company, make sure to collect all the evidence and email chain with this scam company. Never use debit card to pay through PayPal since credit card can provide you an extra layer of protection.

A few other tip offs of the scam, the ad states this is "finest brass handicraft model". Where can you buy a brass locomotives for $59? Maybe in 1951 but not today. Also they state the size is H0 rail (I think they used a zero and not a capital O in H0) and the scale is 1/32. Obviously they do not know anything about model trains and the difference between scale and gauge. Finally the ad mentions power is direct but higher in the ad there is mention of a decoder implying the use of DCC. Taken together this screams SCAM and as many have found out, this is a scam.
There is also ad on Yahoo for a climbing car (whatever that is) from a company called Grometto. Again this is supposedly a remote controlled car (actually pictured is a WWII Jeep) for a ridiculously low price; too low to be believable but it seem a lot of people were taken in by this ad and again lost money and only received a cheap piece of junk.

As of this morning neither ad, either the one by Kayaera or the one from Grometto is appearing on the Yahoo homepage. Maybe Yahoo and/or PayPal have seen the light and removed these ads. But I expect more ads for other equally misleading products will appear shortly. Stay tuned for more scamology.

The ad for the small excavator is gone from Yahoo. Maybe they sold out the supply of small, cheap models. Now there is an ad for a 4-propeller drone with a camera for $59. Another scam me thinks.
One easy way to se if this latest offering is a scam is to go to Best Buy and see what a similar drone will cost. I did a quick search and drones at Best Buy start at $500. The drones at Best Buy are legitimate as Best Buy is a true store . So how can these people sell their product at 1/10th the price of Best Buy and still earn a profit. They can only if what they actually ship is a very small, crude product with absolutely no resemblance to what is offered in the ad.

Everyone should stop and think, can these companies sell the item offered for the low price (usually $80 or so) and still make a profit? The answer is no, they cannot. So they do send you a car, just not the one featured in the online ad. They probably figure some people will file a complaint and ask for a refund but many will just be mad and say to heck with it and chalk it up to a life-lesson. Enough people will go the latter route and so they can still make money on the scam. If they had charged the real price of the advertised goods, say a few hundred $, then everyone would demand a refund after they had received there piece of junk.

This company is definitely using a bait and switch scam technique. I ordered what appeared to be two high-end metal car kits and after waiting 2 months got a cheap metal die-cast mustang toy and a plastic robot kit of some sort, neither of which are what I ordered and combined probably would cost $10 in a toy store. I tried disputing the charge on my capital one card but got nowhere, so I got stiffed for $89.97.

Another offer has appeared on Yahoo. The ad is offering a 6-tool set, starting with a 20v cordless drill with attachments that allow for a saber saw, sander, impact driver, etc. All for the great price of $59.99. And it comes in a nice plastic storage case as well. Think about how they can sell this set for such a low price, think long and hard before you purchase one. This does not seem possible to me that a company can produce a set and sell for this low of a price.

Interesting when the video plays for the ad on the Yahoo homepage one can clearly see the Black and Decker logo on the side of the drill but when you open the ad the name is blacked out.

The video shows a person riding up and down trails and also up concrete stairs. Asking price is $39.99. Anyone want to guess what will actually be shipped for this price, certainly not the machine displayed in the video?

There is a new offer on Yahoo. A ride-on, zero radius turn lawn mower, This is advertised as a gasoline powered unit. All for the amazing low price of $69.88. How can anyone fall for this, expecting what is pictured for less than $70.00 will actually be shipped to them.
Go to Lowe's or Home Depot or Menards or any other legit home improvement store and price similar ride-on mowers BEFORE you make a purchase from this offer.

Once again there is an offer on Yahoo that appears to be to good to be true -- because it is not true. A dual-fuel, 12,000 watt portable generator is offered for less than $100. On the Home Depot website a similar, if not the same generator, is for sale for $1500. Ask yourself how this generator can be sold for less than 10% of what Home Depot charges? They cannot and will not ship this 12,000 watt generator for this price.

They have a solar pool skimmer and send a cheap floor vacuum instead. A lot of people get the same bait and switch item. Scam company

There are now several new ads on Yahoo for various merchandise which appears to not be as advertised. For example there is a wooden, scissoring lifting table where the asking price seems to be far too low. The table appears it may be made of maple or other similar hardwood. I doubt one could buy the wood for the price asked, much less the associated hardware. Buyer beware!

Update, the ad on Yahoo states the wood is ash. I still contend that for less that $30 one cannot produce this quality of table. The screws have all been countersunk and filled with wooden plugs. The lift mechanism alone would cost more than the asking price, throw in the cost of the wood and the price is not realistic.

Look what I found, yup plans for the exact table offered on Yahoo. See the link below. I believe they took the images from this website and created their ad. Again buyer beware!

Now there is a powered, 1/8 scale metal model of a WWII Tiger tank offered in an ad on Yahoo. All for less than $50. Nonsense. A similar (maybe the same model) version can be had for well over $1000. Not sure how they can sell this unless it is a plastic, 1/35 scale model. Tamiya (a legitimate model company) does sell a 1/35 scale version for about the price asked. My guess one will receive the plastic model, not the 1/8 scale version. Again buyer beware.

Will these scammers never quit? Now there is an ad on Yahoo for an electric bike, an e-bike, offered for sale at $49.00. How can anyone believe they will receive an actual full size e-bike for less that $50 when they sell from legitimate bike manufacturers for upwards of $1000. Do a bit of research on the web and see actual prices.

The latest; a tool chest and 400 piece tool set for $99.00. This works out to about 25 cents per tool. Imagine the quality of tool one will receive for a little less than 25 cents each. The blue, metal tool chest on wheels would cost more than $99.00. Unbelievable to say the least.

Another ad is now running on Yahoo. This is for a Blackstone (a legitimate company) gas-fired griddle. This is for a flat steel griddle, not a grill. What is somewhat unusual is this exact same item is for sale at dick's Sporting Goods for ~$350.00. How can AllHotIn, probably a Chinese company, sell this item for $49.95? I question this and wonder what one will actually receive if one orders this item.

Here is another ad on Yahoo. The ad offers a 12,000 watt gasoline powered standby generator for $99.33. I went to Lowe's and they have a few different 12,000 watt gasoline powered generator for sale at around $3000. Ask yourself how they can sell a similar-sized generator for such a low price. I wonder what one will receive if one orders this generator?

Another day, another offer from the sellers on Yahoo. This time it is for a FZ60 Panasonic Lumix camera for ~$40. On Amazon the same camera is for sale at $297.00. I wonder what camera will actually be shipped for this low price?

These ads on Yahoo get crazier by the day. Today there is an offer for a metal lathe for $39.99. Who could think one could buy this electric lathe for this low of a price? Not in 2021 that is. I would like to know what one gets for $39.99, certainly not the tool pictured in the ad.
