## **Wholesale Payment Made, Communication Stopped After Funds Were Received**
We contacted Cotton Mouth Lozenges through the contact form on their official website regarding a wholesale purchasing opportunity. After several weeks of email discussions about wholesale orders, Amazon Brand Registry access, and account setup, we were provided with distributor pricing, asked to submit our reseller certificate, and given payment instructions.
Based on these communications, we proceeded with payment in good faith. After the payment was made, the company confirmed receipt of the funds and assured us that the invoice, Letter of Authorization (LOA), Brand Registry access, and other required documents would be sent shortly.
However, after confirming receipt of our payment, communication stopped. Despite multiple follow-up emails and voicemail messages, we received no meaningful response.
As of today, we have not received the promised documentation, services, or order updates. We have opened a dispute with Wise and filed a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
We are sharing our experience so other businesses conducting wholesale transactions can exercise caution and perform thorough due diligence before sending funds.
