We are very sorry to hear about your experience. These bad actors have been falsely using our name and branding to convince people to participate in fake "money-making" or "task" programs that require victims to send their own money. This is not how Handmade.com operates. We never ask customers, sellers, or job applicants to deposit money in order to earn commissions, receive payments, or unlock funds. We completely understand why this experience would lead to frustration, and we share your concern. As soon as we became aware of this impersonation scam, we reported it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and have been working to document these fraudulent activities and help prevent others from becoming victims. We encourage you to report your experience to the FTC as well at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov. Each report helps investigators build cases against the individuals responsible. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by these criminals, and we sincerely hope those responsible are held accountable. Regards, Robbie P.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we are truly sorry that you were targeted by this scam. Based on the details you've shared, you unfortunately encountered a criminal organization that has been impersonating Handmade.com. These bad actors are using our name and branding to recruit people with fake work-from-home opportunities, instruct victims to complete "tasks," send money through payment apps, and then demand additional payments after falsely claiming an error was made. This is absolutely not how Handmade.com operates. We appreciate you pointing out that the legitimate Handmade company does not conduct business this way. Handmade.com never requires anyone to send money in order to receive commissions, wages, refunds, or account access, and we do not recruit workers through these types of task-based programs. We have reported this impersonation scam to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and encourage anyone affected to do the same at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov. Each report helps law enforcement better track these criminals and their fraudulent operations. If you have any screenshots, website addresses, or communications from the scammers, we would also appreciate it if you would share them with us at [email protected], as they help us document new tactics and support our efforts to stop this abuse of our brand. We are deeply saddened that these bad actors have harmed so many people while misusing our name, and we sincerely hope those responsible are brought to justice. Regards, Robbie P.

Hello Debbie, We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand why you are upset. However, we want to clarify that neither myself nor Handmade.com is affiliated with the operation you described. Handmade.com is an online marketplace that helps artisans and makers showcase and sell their handmade products. We do not operate task-based earning programs, work-from-home assembly jobs, commission schemes, or any platform that requires participants to deposit money in order to receive earnings or withdrawals. The scenario you described is consistent with a fraudulent scheme that has been impersonating our company. Unfortunately, we have received reports from many individuals who were targeted in a similar way. We understand that it may appear we are connected because the scammers misused our company name. They are not affiliated with Handmade.com, and we have reported the unauthorized use of our name to the appropriate authorities. If you are willing, we encourage you to contact us directly at [email protected] with any screenshots, websites, phone numbers, or other information you have. Every report helps us document the scam and support ongoing efforts to stop those responsible. We are genuinely sorry for what happened to you and hope this helps clarify that your funds were not received or controlled by Handmade.com. Robbie P.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We believe there may be some confusion, as we do not offer "handmade work-from-home" opportunities. Our company is an online marketplace that helps artisans and makers showcase and sell their handmade products through our official site at www.handmade.com. We take concerns about scams seriously and encourage anyone who believes they have been targeted by a fraudulent operation to report it to the appropriate authorities. If this review was intended for our company, please contact us at [email protected] so we can better understand and address your concerns. Sincerely, Robbie P.
