    How can you be so naive to believe that a product that would normally cost EUR 1,849.00 you buy for EUR 99.99. :D This price of EUR 1,000 would seem suspiciously low. Even a monkey from my avatar wouldn't be fooled. :D

    This is pure deception. These are not my suspicions, but I personally made the purchase and of course I did not receive anything. There is no contact with them. They even provide informal tracking information. They don't reply to emails.

    Of course, I also felt that it was a scam, but ... On the site you can track a parcel. Currently, my status is delivered to the door :) of course after the shipment. I even managed to contact a lady, but she first stated that it was impossible and that such things did not happen. As I sent the screen with the status it said that where the claims as I have a parcel delivered. I am currently submitting a complaint to the bank. It would be good to get the money back.

FAQ

TL;DR: 94% off an €1,849 DeWalt set is a classic scam signal—"This price ... would seem suspiciously low." This FAQ shows how to spot such stores and what to do next. [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #17208031]

Why it matters: For tool buyers evaluating online deals, this guide helps avoid scams and recover funds if you paid.

Quick Facts

Is maintainedplaza.com legit or is that DeWalt set promo a scam?

Multiple buyers say it is a scam. One writes, "This is pure deception." They report paying, receiving nothing, no contact, and bogus tracking. Treat the offer as fraudulent and avoid sharing more data. Focus on recovery if you already paid. [Elektroda, mirlup, post #17216371]

How do I get my money back if I already paid by card?

Contact your bank and request a chargeback. Explain it was an online purchase from a fraudulent shop. Provide order screenshots, email history, and tracking proofs. Ask how to track the dispute and reply quickly to requests. Act promptly to meet your bank’s deadlines. [Elektroda, speedy9, post #17207878]

How do I file a chargeback step by step?

  1. Contact your card issuer and state you want to dispute the charge.
  2. Submit evidence: order confirmation, screenshots, and correspondence showing non-delivery or deception.
  3. Track the case until resolution and respond promptly to any bank requests. [Elektroda, speedy9, post #17207878]

Is a 94% discount a reliable indicator of a scam?

Yes. A €99.99 offer for an item said to cost €1,849 equals about 94.6% off. Such extreme discounts on branded tools outside controlled promos are suspicious. Paired with an unknown shop, you should walk away immediately. Pricing that far below normal is not credible. [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #17208031]

My tracking says "Delivered", but nothing arrived—what should I do?

Scammers may use a bogus “delivered” status to deny refunds. Capture screenshots of the status and any messages. File a bank dispute and include those proofs plus your address details. Note that the seller cites the false status to dismiss claims. Ask your bank to consider this evidence. [Elektroda, Kika2711, post #17299101]

What does a brand-new domain date tell me?

A freshly registered store domain is a warning sign. One member flagged a 2018‑01‑19 creation date for this site. Fraud shops appear briefly, run deep discounts, then vanish. Prefer established domains when buying expensive gear online. [Elektroda, Tommy82, post #17208051]

What other warning signs did buyers see with maintainedplaza?

A buyer reported paying and receiving nothing. They also saw no email responses and “informal” tracking data. Unresponsive support and unverifiable tracking are common fraud patterns. Do not expect help from the merchant after payment. [Elektroda, mirlup, post #17216371]

Is maintainedplaza linked to vipcouldshop.com?

A victim reported the operation previously used vipcouldshop.com. Scammers rotate domains to dodge negative feedback. If you see such a pattern, avoid the site and alert your bank. [Elektroda, jcerowski, post #17198225]

Are there other sites to avoid, like bronsale.com?

Yes. A member warned that bronsale.com is another scam shop. Treat similar deep-discount tool sites with strong caution. Verify contact details and domain history before buying. [Elektroda, jcerowski, post #17219780]

Does checking independent reviews (e.g., Trustpilot) help before buying?

Yes. Search the domain on platforms like Trustpilot before you pay. One user found relevant reports that flagged the shop. Negative, consistent reviews are a strong deterrent. Combine reviews with price and domain checks for safety. [Elektroda, mistrzszymon1, post #17150756]

I filed a dispute—did anyone else here do that?

Yes. Another buyer initiated a chargeback and is awaiting developments. After filing, expect updates from your bank rather than the seller. Keep your evidence organized and respond quickly to inquiries. [Elektroda, dudik122, post #17208023]

What should I do if I haven’t paid yet but see a deal like this?

Avoid buying when an unknown shop advertises extreme discounts. Compare the offer to a realistic normal price. Here, €1,849 versus €99.99 signaled a scam. Close the tab and buy from authorized dealers instead. [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #17208031]
