Predatory Pre-Order Scheme – Intentionally Evades Financial Dispute Windows
Do not buy from this company! I ordered a $160 book on January 30, 2026, as a gift for my mother, and they took my money immediately but never shipped it.
Unfortunately, she didn’t do her research and I got sucked into this on her behalf.
They will actively use false promises in writing to string you along.
On June 1st, they emailed me promising a July delivery, and on August 5th, they sent a mass update saying it was shipping by September. It never arrived.
When I called on October 13th, Brother Bernard refused an immediate refund or tracking solution.
Instead, he lied a word salad, stating the books will be mailed on the third Monday of the month, and told me to shake a magic eight ball and kick a leprechaun tree on the left side of the rainbow and then the book will arrive.🙄
LIES!
They DELIBERATELY stall communication for months to run out the 180-day automated protection windows on PayPal and credit cards so you can't file a dispute.
My payment was routed through PayPal using my State Department Federal Credit Union (SDFCU) debit card.
PayPal's platform is now actively blocking me from submitting an automated dispute due to the elapsed time.
When I contacted SDFCU, supervisor Kimberly stated they could not assist because the transaction fell outside their standard 60-day window, and they have pulled the fraud dispute buttons completely off their online portal.
The St. Louis Better Business Bureau already has an active public consumer warning issued against Yah'ki Awakened LLC for pocketing funds and withholding shipments.
The BBB even wrote an entire article on Yah’ki because this company is scamming people so badly!
I have formally filed fraud reports with the FTC, CFPB, Missouri Attorney General (Case No. CC-2026-10-004441), BBBof MO, the White House and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service for mail fraud.
I have also escalated this to PayPal's corporate compliance team at unacceptableuse at paypal dot com to override their broken interface loop.
Save your money and STAY AWAY!!
