"Vegas Style" on freemont street
hi! I know there's already been another post about this in here but I just wanted to warn people about an extortion scam in vegas. It's a tshirt print shop / gift shop on Fremont St called "Vegas Style"
I walked in there because my friend was there looking at some shorts, she told me she was going to get some custom ones done and I asked her how much it was, she said the lady at the counter told her It's only $20. So I decided I wanted to get some too, I went up to the counter and asked the 2 girls if it was really only $20 for custom shorts and she said "Yep!! just $20!"
So we get our designs done, then one of the girls said "btw It's buy 2 get one free so you can get something else for free if you are paying together!" so I decided why not? It's only $40 if I put my friends on my card, and then I can get a free shirt. So they package up our stuff, and they hand me the card reader which was one of those handheld Clover systems where she prompted me to tap my card, and I did, not even realizing that she was INTENTIONALLY covering the total on the screen with her hand. then she handed me a receipt to sign which was folded over so I couldnt see the total and as I was signing thats when I realized what was happening, so I immediately asked to see the receipt, and they SNATCHED that signed copy away so fast I couldnt even react, handed me an itemized bill with a total of $308. so I immediately freak out and ask for the signed copy back and these girls start arguing like nobodies business. I said "dude come on you told me $20 each" and they said "right! $20 for the shorts, and then plus the design cost" they refused to refund me, refused to give me my signed copy back and literally told me that I could "go cry about it bro" we left the clothes there because I figured if I want to get my money back we can't have taken the product. and they even tried to follow us out of the store to force us to take the items. I'm currently trying to get my money back through my credit card company and am going to be reporting them to the Report Fraud website. if you have had a similar experience please please help me out by reporting them here: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/
edit: sorry I meant Fremont St.
