Being a native downstate New Yorker and highly skeptical, I'm surprised I got scammed, too! I ordered a VW Bus Cooler as a gift for my best friend, and they received a 5" metal model. To make matters worse, there was no packing slip or note stating who sent it or where it came from. When I finally spoke to my friend and sorted out that she had indeed received a package, thought not a cooler as advertised, I disputed the purchase with paypal.com and the paypal credit card company. It took an "investigation" that lasted months and they gave me such a hard time, finally "resolving" the dispute by telling me the charge would be permanently reversed if I send the VW Bus model back to China! I told them "hell no" and cancelled my paypal.com and paypal credit card accounts. So, in reality, I'm not out any money, just time and aggravation. On the other hand, my friend who was the gift recipient of the VW Bus, and I have been laughing ever since. So maybe it was worth the trouble. AND this American consumer won against Highsity, a Chinese scammer of high proportion!
