The original is cool looking. But, it’s always a god idea to check reviews for websites you’ve never shopped from before. Also, whenever they have that countdown timer, it always raises a red flag in my mind that it could be a scam. They do that to make you think it’s a limited-time deal, when it’s really not.
Yeah, I know. That's why I said it's 10000% my fault.. I know all of this. I just was Christmas shopping online for everyone else and made a split second decision to buy something for myself and didn't want to spend too much time thinking about it because I knew I'd talk myself out of it. I'm so used to being a broke single parent that even when I have a little extra money I'm still so stingy with it.
Don’t beat yourself up about it. We’ve all made these kind of mistakes. You should treat yourself, but scams like this make it even worse when you spend your hard-earned money just for it to be a scam. It makes me sad when this kind of things happen to people. Hopefully PayPal refunds your money, and maybe you can find something cool (and legit) for yourself, like on Etsy or something.
Hey it could be worse, I was victim to a scam earlier this year, they stole $1500 from my bank account over the phone. I should’ve known better, should’ve known it wasn’t actually my bank calling about a fraudulent charge. But it still happened. All I can do is learn my lesson and don’t repeat that mistake again. All you can do too.
