Consumer Narrative
I was contacted on XX/XX/22 from XXXX in the fraud department regarding some claims that occurred the day before on my JC Penney Mastercard. My card was cancelled, and I was told I would not be responsible for the fraudulent charges. On XX/XX/22, I received 2 boxes labeled XXXX XXXX that I did not order. They appeared to be some type of diet supplements. I called the Synchrony fraud department and informed them of what I received. I was told to return them to the company which I did XX/XX/22. The statement I received dated XX/XX/22 listed the company I received the boxes and returned to as XXXX XXXX. The charges were for {$60.00} and for {$190.00}. I never heard of the company, nor did I ever attempt to purchase from them. The next statement dated XX/XX/22 shows the credits from the company XXXX XXXX for the 2 boxes I returned. {$60.00} and {$190.00}. It also showed 2 purchases from some place called XXXX XXXX ; 1 for {$59.00} and 1 for {$190.00}. I received a letter from Synchrony Bank dated XX/XX/22 stating that since the purchased items were shipped to my address that they would not approve my claim. I only received the 2 boxes and returned them as I did not order them. If I had ordered them, I would gladly have paid for them. I contacted the fraud department again to tell me what merchandise I supposedly received from XXXX XXXX. They said they were vitamins, but they could not give me a contact number for me to call the company. I did not receive anything from XXXX XXXX. I am still being charged on my JC Penney credit card for this XXXX XXXX, which the amounts are similar to what the fraudulent charges from XXXX XXXX were. I was contacted about the fraud from the beginning, but I am the victim of the fraud. I cancelled the new card they sent me on XX/XX/22 when I received the letter from them stating that I was responsible for the charges.
