Is BlissfulrestSA on Facebook and Instagram a scam? Have they actually bought and delivered any stock to clients in South Africa? I bought goods from them and have not received anything. Their telephone and address are fake. Shopify should properly vet who uses their platform. This is a disgrace.
Hi @JScam
Based on available information, BlissfulRestSA has been reported by customers as potentially fraudulent. A user on the Shopify Community forum mentioned purchasing goods without receiving them and noted that the provided telephone number and address appear to be fake.
Additionally, the website theblissfulrest.co.za, which may be associated with BlissfulRestSA, has been reviewed by Scamadviser and received a relatively high trust score, indicating it is likely legitimate.
Given these conflicting reports, it’s advisable to exercise caution when dealing with BlissfulRestSA. If you’ve made a purchase and haven’t received your goods, consider taking the following steps:
- Contact Your Bank or Credit Card Provider: Report the transaction as potentially fraudulent to initiate a chargeback process.
- Report the Incident: Notify the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the platform where you discovered the seller (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) about the suspicious activity.
- Share Your Experience: Post reviews on consumer protection websites to warn others and potentially gather more information.
To avoid similar situations in the future, be cautious of online stores with limited contact information, lack of customer reviews, or deals that seem too good to be true. Always verify the legitimacy of a seller before making purchases.
