EchoLabs is definitely a scam
On 10/10/25, I sought to purchase a set of wireless ear buds.
I ran across a "Top 10" listing that rated an EchoLabs product as the best.
The Top 10 listing showed a price of $49.99.
When I got to the EchoLabs site, the price was $54.99.
When I purchased the ear buds, there was $5.49 added for "SafeTrak" (to which I had not agreed) and $12.95 for S/H (which was not revealed until the purchase was made).
The total charge was $73.43. I wanted those ear buds, so I made the purchase.
I paid with my Debit Card; the charge cleared my checking account on 10/14.
On 10/14, I received a confirmation with my order # and a tracking #.
The confirmation stated that my purchase would be shipped by "Other".
The confirmation directed me to a "link below" for tracking. However, there was no link.
Since then, I have received vague and complicated tracking instructions.
When attempting to follow such instructions, I have had no success tracking.
The Trackers do not recognize the order # or the tracking # that Echolabs provided.
I keep running into dead ends and/or being asked to change my browser, download apps with which I am unfamiliar, and make various unrelated purchases.
My security package is telling me all of this indicates fraud, so I have not followed through on any of it.
I have sent emails to the EchoLabs support group (Hawkeye) and to an outfit called CXwow Tracking (to which an EchoLabs email referred me). Neither organization has responded.
I have not received the ear buds, and now I am receiving unsolicited pop-ups and emails that provide no "unsubscribe" options.
