The truth about what is Honestystar.com

Honestystar.com isn’t an honest star as the name might try to suggest. They are a relatively new online store that are fake and have been reported for being untrusted and for some reasons there seem to be a number of people who have questions regarding their legitimacy. Well, if you cannot trust them then better not to buy from them and trust your guts. The scam site is being operated by cyber criminals who are after your money and most probably your credit card details too.

Looks like the site has also been using facebook as their platform where they can get to snare a number of people into believing they are legit and cheap. There are hundreds of other sites like these and these have also been reviewed here and you will find that almost all of them are scams and have been proven to be. Below are some of the scam signs that you may find at Honestystar.com.

 

Scam signs

Firstly the reviews on the site are not legit at all, they are fake amd you canmot add your own and as you can see all the fake reviews are all positive there is no negative one and that isn’t realistic. The 75% or 50% pricing strategy is just another scam sign even though this is why many people want to buy from the site, it is too good to be true and definitely not true. According to whois the site was created in June 2019 and is still too new to be trusted. There is also reports from people that have been scammed, sent the site money from 2 months ago and never heard from the site and never got replied their emails.

          I too got scammed and after reading that they may charge your credit/debit card for more than what you purchased, I immediately called my bank and shut down that card. I just now tried to reply to the last email they sent me telling me that my shoes are ready to ship, but that email is no longer a viable email. How unfortunate that there are such evil people in this world that take advantage of unsuspecting hardworking people! Sham(e) on you!!!

          I ordered shoes on September 28, 2019
          I didn’t review the site.
          They were sent by mail.
          I received the shoes on November 13, 2019.
          I am thankful that I did get the shoes.
          The shoes are very thin. But comfortable.
          You get what you pay for.

            I ordered from honestystar too. After two months I finally received the boots. My skettchers Bob’s boots are more comfortable with my insoles for plantars fasciitis than these. They claimed all these wonderful perks for helping this issue. I will certainly know better next time and be watching my card for any extra charges. 37.00 bucks WASTED.

      Me too! I eventually got my shoes…two sizes too small…they have responded “it’s because they’re Asian size”!!!@ They have suggested I keep them as it’s too costly to me to return them…they’ve offered a $5 voucher for my next purchase!! I paid for Express delivery at $12.99…it took 33 days! PayPal are dealing with it!

      I was just recently scamed by honesty star as well, got some terrible red boots for $27. They offered me a $6 credit or I would have to send item back and pay for shipping myself and it would be over $35 USD so obviously they are not even located in the US. Lesson learned! Wish I would’ve seen this report before I ordered.

      I got scammed by Honestystar also . The shoes I received are absolutely worthless, not fit to wear. No arch support, leather in not leather at all, whatever they’re made of it paper thin. They offered $3 refund . They are not even worth $3.
      Very poor quality.

      Why didn’t you just dispute the purchase? As the consumer you have the right to dispute any purchase that is fraudulent such as not receiving the merchandise. Then once you have your money back cancel the card.
      You should also consider using a service such as Apple Pay (they don’t reveal your info online) or PayPal. If an online company doesn’t do business with PayPal that should be a red flag for you.

    I purchased a pair of boots, and a shirt….it’s been over a week, and no tracking number. Honestystar did send me an order number. Today I received an email from USPS with a tracing number that can’t be found yet. I’ve emailed them twice, and they did respond saying they’ve received so many orders that they are backlogged. Shipping will take longer than expected. I used a credit card with almost no available credit left, but it was charged the same day. Visa will work to get that refund on my account. Damn shame….I really liked those boots!!!

    I purchased the shoes, emailed for status of order, no response. Then saw notice about honesty star being legit or fraud? Went to my bank, got money back next day. Too good to be true & I really liked those boots☹️

  13. Catherine Avatar

    I ordered a month ago and still haven’t received shipping information yet. Called my bank to dispute the charge which they had no slow problem taking!
    I found the same boot/shoe on Amazon! Good, reputable site that actually sends the products ordered with timely shipping information!
    Please all of us that experienced this contact Paypal if payment went through there, attorney general, BBB, etc…
    It’s these online experiences that people report that keeps these types of companies from stealing hard-earned money! Christmas is coming too! I’m sure plenty of scammers will be out trying to scam us all!

    I ordered a pair of boots from Honestystar.com in late September. The site said they would arrive within 21 days. When I didn’t receive them I contacted the company to find out what was going on. I received a very nice apology from customer service stating that they were behind on orders due to a huge sale. I was contacted by them again when my order shipped complete with a tracking number. My boots arrived today, they were the correct size and color and matched the photo and description perfectly.

    I payed through PayPal who have been fantastic,
    Two months it took for the shoes to arrive…. which was today. 🤢 they were not the product advertised they were cheap and nasty and in plastic bags.
    When I opened the package I was just about knocked out by the glue fumes As the glue hadn’t set.
    They resembled Clown shoes… I’m pretty sure IT would have loved them. They were wider than a mans size 13 shoe and just as long…. clearly math wasn’t there best subject at school…. SCAM well they got an A in that, sadly I read the reviews way too late. They advert was temping as it kept popping up on my Candy Crush.
    I asked PayPal why they are allowing fraudulent companies to use their service. They said they are in the process of investigating them so just beware that’s all I can say.

    I too ordered some boots in October and have still not received them. I emailed them and got the “behind in orders” reply. I then read a number of complaints about other people not receiving their orders so I contacted PayPal and lodged a claim but it was refused. I then emailed the company again stating that they had scammed me and that I had reported their fraudulent activities to Interpol and the FBI. Two days later I received an email with a tracking number. When I first tried tracking the number I received a message saying that the number was invalid, however, I have tried again and it seems that my order is being shipped out of China. I am now waiting for my boots to arrive to see the quality of them – I don’t have very high expectations of the boots being as described in the original Facebook ad!
    I have now seen the same ad with a company called FELIXE.COM on a game I was playing on my iPad,

    I oredered 2 pairs of boots and accidentally ordered 2nd pair in wrong size. I emailed and asked for them to change my order so both pairs were right size.
    They emailed back quickly and said no problem.
    Both pairs arrived in correct size.
    I had no issues dealing with them as all emails were asnwered promptly.

  26. Jacqueline Taylor Avatar

    I asked them to cancel my order 7 times and all 7 times they stalled me asking me to reconsider because the booties were going to be back in stock soon. All 7 times I replied saying I don’t want them please cancel and refund my money. Guess what? After a couple of weeks of this I get an email saying that the shoes shipped. I filed a dispute with Paypal who came back and said that they can’t help me get a refund because the product shipped. Now I find out that I probably will get the shoes but they are nothing like the picture and will be total garbage so I can never get refunded.

    I wish I’d seen these reviews before placing an order for my mother’s birthday. After nearly a month with no communication or shoes I filed a claim with PayPal. That finally got me a response from HonestyStar customer support and they said to me that the item received “high number of orders” that my item may take longer than expected and asked for patience. By this point, I’d started looking online to research them and asked for my money back. They refused to cancel my order and refund my money; After 2 weeks of asking for and demanding my order be cancelled and my payment be refunded I get this response: “Dear customer, Hope everything goes well. We usually do not refund once order confirmed and paid. Could you wait for some days? Then you will get the order soon.” They then sent me a tracking number. When the shoes finally arrived (literally the day before they had to respond to the claim on PayPal), HonestyStar wasted no time giving the tracking information to PayPal, who closed the case in HonestyStar’s favor. The shoes: not what we ordered. They looked more like cheap rubber boots than the shoes in the photo and instead of being black with blue accents were all blue.

    If you are considering ordering from HonestyStar, don’t. Spend your money elsewhere.

    I too ordered my shoes in October. After waiting and being unable to track them via the numbers they gave, my shoes arrived today. They are exactly what I expected. I don’t feel as if I was scammed.

  29. Cheryl Avatar

    I ordered the boots and got a really cheap item that wasn’t at all like the picture shown, so I got scammed. I did email and they have been responding but the most so far they have offered me is $5.00 for the $30.00 I spent. Wish I would have done more research on them before ordering. Lesson learned I will not order from any unknown company again without doing research first.

    I also was scammed. Order took forever and when they arrived they were made very cheaply. I ordered 4 pair. Two arrived in the size (9) ordered. The other two were: one a size 5.5 and the other a size 12.
