Fraudulent and Scammed
Fraudulent listing on Google, no way to let them know about it. I hate to admit it, but I got suckered. The transaction was normal until the credit card charge wouldn't go through. The price was reasonable, not particularly low. The seller eventually got me to agree to get the bank on the phone (on a three way call), and with my help, tried to get the hold removed from the card by having the charge authorized. I received a code from two different credit card companies to verify it was me on the phone, and passed it along on the three-way call. I had volunteered a second card when the first one did not accept the charge.
I thought it was my card that had the hold on it, but eventually I figured out that the the hold was placed on their account (too late). It was natural to ask for the hold to be removed (for the correct dollar amount only). It felt legit, because I called from a Google search on the first page of search returns. Ultimately, card can be charged for unauthorized amounts. The billing agency is in India. Eventually I got an email with a certification code from the credit card bank that verified me, that authorized the correct charge to be placed on my account. Later, I found charges for incorrect amounts on one card.
I ended up having to replace two credit cards. The company came up one the first page of a Google search (area code 909) so one would think it's legit. The first clue I got was that I had spent too long on the phone for a $50 declined purchase, The calls with the two banks were legit.
