And After order completed, the website asking to download their app and asking for deposit again! They’re SCAMMER!!!! RUN!!!! Make sure you dispute with your bank and told your bank to stop future payments from this merchant!!! 骗人的！在网页给了押金$35后提醒要下载app，下载后又要扫描然后显示要再付$35！幸好第二次没有支付成功！ 而且充电宝已经开始计时了都拿不到，根本没有弹出来！那个押金还是每月自动扣的，记得要跟银行dispute而且停止任何自动付款！ ### 1/5 — RUN!!! It’s SCAM!!!! *2023-02-28* My phone under under 20% and found this power bank device in a restaurant, PayPal showed that deposit $35 was deducted but the app showing deposit was not paid, order showing completed but no power bank pop out, scanned again and was asking to pay again, fortunately it was keep loading so I wasn’t able to pay the second time. Was trying to call them many times but no one is answering and their online service showing error page. Their website is FAKE too!!!! RUN if you ever see this device!!!

It help me find the phone charger whenever I need it the most. They charge me fairly for only $2 per hour.
