Ordered sourdough baking kit from TryVelor and got unsafe junk instead
I ordered from TryVelor’s website, tryvelor.com. It looked really professional and convincing. They talked about this whole system for making sourdough bread using stuff imported from a small French family company. I fell for it and I’m usually pretty good about avoiding scams.
It cost me $125. It took a couple months to arrive. By then I had already opened a fraud report with Bank of America. When the box finally showed up, it was all wrong. There was a heating pad with no UL certification, no instructions, just a flyer in Chinese. A bread bag lined in plastic, not wax like they said. A plain glass jar with no sourdough starter or any directions. And a bread knife that felt cheap and dangerous. Nothing said food safe or where it was made. No return info either.
I’m going to throw it all away because I don’t think any of it is safe to use. The website looks shut down now but I bet it will pop up again somewhere else.
