Many people have taken to the web to make purchases during the COVID-19 pandemic. While this is a great way to get the things you need (or don’t really need), the Better Business Bureau is warning consumers to be careful when purchasing from unknown websites.
Not all websites without national recognition are trying to scam you, but a number of them are. One such site is Zackaryo.com. Since mid-April, BBB Wisconsin has received nineteen complaints against Zackaryo.com from consumers in fifteen states. Complaints allege consumers purchased items such as Clorox wipes and toilet paper, but also one consumer purchased an outdoor shed and two say they purchased TV’s and Nintendo sets, spending anywhere from $10 – $600. The complainants state they have not received their items and cannot reach the company.
As of mid-May, BBB Serving Wisconsin notes that the website, created in mid-February, is no longer active. A quick way to make sure the website is legitimate is by making sure it begins with https://. The “S” stands for secure, indicating the website is safe to use.
