Cover Shield
Cover Shield TheCarCover.com Cover Shield on ebay is a scam, fraudulent seller Los Angeles, California
9th of May, 2011 by User865496
TheCarCover.com going by the name of CoverShield on ebay is selling car covers under the premise of having a lifetime warranty, as stated in their ad. Their product deteriorates within a couple of months and they offer no refund, only a replacement for $25 which is to cover shipping and handling. No one wants to have an inferior product replaced with an inferior product. After several calls, emailing photos of the disintegrated car cover, I was told they would not issue a refund. When asked why they have the word "Lifetime Warranty" in their ad when it doesn't exist the supervisor, Ken replied that it is an agreement, that they offer these car covers at a discount. Obviously, they don't understand the definition of lifetime warranty so I read it to him. He said he was following policy. It is too late to file a report with ebay as more than 30 days have passed so I am out $45, along with 4 other people, at least.

Considering that non-payment/delivery of goods sold or bought—whether from online auctions or not—is the most common cybercrime as reported to the IC3 in 2010, and by all accounts occurs about 25, 000 times each month, it is not surprising then that you can easily be scammed.

However, you can protect yourself.

A very good friend of mine was seriously scammed late last year and has since done extensive research into how you defend yourself against scammers and fraudsters. She reports that she found the solution.

These days she INSISTS on using a legitimate online escrow service for transactions of value. It's amazing, she tells me, how fast the scammers scramble for the hills when you refuse to listen to reasons why you shouldn't use this service (bona fide) but instead use another (fraudulent). It's like a litmus test, she says, it really exposes the scammers.

Her new motto is: When in doubt--escrow. She swears by it.

But, how do you tell the legitimate escrow site from the fraudulent?

First of all, the legitimate site is always secure, and therefore will display “https” (for secure http) on your browser’s URL line. If the site does not, abandon it. Also, the legitimate site will post a physical address and a working phone number, allowing you to talk directly to the staff.

The legitimate site will always display their licenses and accreditations, which you can then verify with the applicable state(s), and they can and will, on request, give you names and contacts of satisfied customers, whom you can then call to verify legitimacy.

I have read this report before I contacted them, Guess I, m lucky then a guy named Erick was able to help me get a new car cover free of charge to my door with in the week. Though I would let you guys know. Try calling and ask for him. They all seemed real nice to me when I called over there . Also the price of there covers were not bad at all. Was not able to find the ebay name anywhere could be I searched wrong.

Good Luck :)
