Buy Exotic Fruits, Nerry Pathak Giving con artists a bad name Corona California

I shop online all the time and have never experienced a con like this before! I wish I had investigated more thoroughly before giving BuyExoticFruit my cc info. I ordered passionfruit on 9/7/2015, waited a couple of weeks before calling and having a most bizarre, rushed conversation with an Indian man. He fobbed me off with some excuse and I waited some more. By now I smelled a rat and after a few more bizarro conversations with the same man I finally cancelled the order on 10/26. I was promised my refund in the next couple of days, needless to say that has not transpired. 

By now my interest was piqued so (a little late) I started investigating. BuyExoticFruits is very quick to take your money, but very slow to respond to enquiries from customers. The "Live Help" button on the website is a dud. They rarely answer the phone, and now have an "answering service" WTH? It's 2015 folks! They don't respond to emails either, and since they're located in CA while I'm in FL, a quick drive over to the location is out of the question. They have a bunch of positive "reviews" on their website, but nowhere to actually post a review, hmmmm? The posted "reviews" all share the same grammatical and spelling errors - almost as if they were written by - wait for it - the same Indian man!

They have an F rating on BBB, and after I made my order, they posted a "disclaimer" on their website relating to BBB and lawsuits - curiouser and curiouser! I contacted BBB about BuyExoticFruits but the company failed to respond - shocking I know!

I doubt I'll ever see my money again, so here goes, hopefully this report will help someone further down the line.
