Alert

In February 2024, BBB Serving New Mexico and Southwest Colorado investigated Fontaras LLC Doing Business As Memento Vivere business practices. This investigation was prompted by complaints, consumer reviews and Scam Tracker reports.

Consumers have alleged the following through BBB complaints: 
- I have placed an order last year on November 21, I have contacted them multiple times throughout and my order keeps getting delayed every time or they tell me they're out of stock even though they're always trying to sell things on their website.

- Date of transaction: 11/30/2023 Money Paid: $82.00 Business committed to providing: Bloody Valentine Hoodie, Self Inflicted Sweater I was promised a 20 business day shipping wait for my items back in December. When that was not fulfilled I sent another email asking for updates which went ignored. I went to their instagram @vivere.la where I saw multiple people asking for updates on their orders. I began to comment on the pinned posts but they quickly deleted my comments. I eventually got a response on 01/09/2024 advising me of a shipping time frame from 01/15/2024-01/20/2024. When that did not happen they hit me with their generic response of being backed up on orders and that they are a small team. I requested a refund and they actively ignore the request. When I disputed my transaction through cashapp which is how I paid for it, I got denied. There is no tracking number but my order number is *******.

- Transaction date of 12/30/23 Was told to wait 15 business days for shipping Total of $30.26 Contacted the business multiple times with multiple methods (email, instagram, shop app) and haven’t received a single helpful response

Filing a dispute is time sensitive and should not be delayed. However, not all payment providers allow disputes. Consumers may want to check with their payment provider prior to purchase to find out what payment protection options are available.
