I bought this chanel bag from Bella vita Moda. little that I know it's counterfeit.
Bella vita Moda, do not refund , do not take return. when I let them know I would dispute the purchase. They threatened me about law and legal.

please help me look at the pictures and tell me it's counterfeit.
I hope no one would deal with scammers and fraud like I did.IMG_0799.PNGIMG_3048.JPGIMG_3053.JPGIMG_3045.JPGIMG_3047.JPGIMG_3049.JPG

Sorry this happened to u. The shippers address indicating Guangzhou in China should raise a red flag. Also the shoulder chain cannot be removed from the bag completely. If u paid thru PayPal or cc you might be able to dispute the charges? Is Bella vita mod in the US? If they r perhaps Some consumer protection act may help? I’m sure some fellow tpfers can give advice on recourse.

Btw I think u should cover up your personal address in the pics.

I purchase only from dept or boutique stores now as I’m worried about authenticity too.
 
I think you need to remove that receipt from this post as it has your personal details on there. The price that you paid isn’t in keeping with a coveted boy bag so that should have alerted you to the fact that it would likely be fake. Good luck getting your money back.
 
I don’t know how to delete pictures I’m new here
Hello dear @kookkai , first of all welcome to tpf and it's nice to meet you. Hoping that you can have some resolution to this problem.

Also if you look under your image or pictures that you've posted, there is a report option to the far left. Simply select this and ask the moderators to remove your pics with address and personal information. I am sure they will be able to assist.

Take care and I am so sorry for all the trouble that you have experience with this item :flowers:

I'm sorry this happened to you. How did you pay? PayPal? Credit card?

Good question.
You have a way to dispute the charge/payment depending on how you paid. I have dealt with a company that was based in China that sent me an item that was misrepresented in a US advertisement. Though it was only $200, I sent it back registered DHL mail, the whole process costing me close to $70. They refused to refund me- they said no returns. I threatened- international mail fraud, credit card fraud and alerting my state’s attorney general. Because I am multi-national, I told them I would carry my grievances to Canada and the EU, talking to all who will listen.
I got my refund.
Because of the pricetag, I suggest you find a low cost attorney that can spend an hour with you to tell you your options or write an intimidating letter to the company. Selling/buying a counterfeit handbag is a federal offense. The company has put you at risk (don’t worry, if notified usually the gov’t just takes and burns counterfeit bags), so (I believe) this company can be sued by you.
Best of luck! You will prevail- it’ll just take some work.

If she paid by cc or PP she should be able to do a simple charge dispute/claim without having to find an attorney. What a hassle that would be! Glad you got your money back in your case.

I'm so sorry this happened to you .
I would call your credit card company right away! Call them right now and tell them you'd like to file a dispute. Don't wait, call today.
That's too much money to take this loss without putting up a fight IMO.
I'm so sorry this happened to you though. I'm sure you are devastated.

I had to file a dispute several times ( not over purses) and the credit card company had my back each time and made sure the issues were resolved. I would do it right away though .
