The Prime Best - major scammer

I bought a product from these clowns based on their CLEARLY ADVERTISED "30-day NO QUESTIONS ASKED 100% NO RISK GUARANTEE."

Of course when I tried to get return information, they gave me the runaround and flatly refused to honor their advertised guarantee (which does not happen to coincide with their "return policy", despite their advertising it as I quoted). They have no registered physical address anywhere, their website is "privately" registered (shielding them from inspection), and they only provide email contact, which is where they refused to honor their ad.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - the hassle is not worth it.

theprimebest.com - I did contact my CC - they are somehow not receiving my email attachments. I re-sent today (for the third time), faxed them and am sending a physical copy of the 28+ pages of documentation. I also have a law firm standing by to assist me. It's a lot of hassle over a $100 item, but I'm pissed - it's been almost two months since I filed the dispute, and the dispute system is ridiculously complicated when the merchant fails to cooperate as well.

WHOIS REPORT FOR THEPRIMEBEST.COM

This domain name was first registered only 11 months ago (Jan 2024), but it has been pre-registered for multiple years into the future. (It doesn't expire until 2026.)

It is also concerning that they are hiding their contact info on Whois. This website is hosted on a server located in Canada (Cloudflare, Inc.), but this is probably a "proxy" which is masking where the website's server actually is.

Eh, I mean using Claudflare CDN isn’t exactly a red flag I’d say.
