Online Purchase - Online Purchase
It started with a Facebook post detailing a long story of how this person "Donna Bill" on Facebook found a small company that makes only 200 sets of pure linen sheets at a time - then there's the link that takes you to buy the sheets. The information is found on Facebook by searching "oeko tex sheets roskia". The entire post has been removed from "Donna Bill's" facebook page as it seems to be a fake profile I've already reported to Facebook.
The link to the website showed there were less than 50 sheet sets available in the batch - https://roskia.com/products/oeko-tex%C2%AE-100-natural-linen-bedset.
I ordered 2 queen sets - one in grey and one in rust colour. It was cheaper per set to buy 2 sets. I checked out and paid through Shopify but I did not get an email confirmation or receipt for the order by email. This worried me at first but a few days later I got an email saying they were working on my order and would keep me updated on shipping and delivery times. When I finally did get the package I realized it came from China. It was poorly packed in a plastic bag with a few rips and tears that were re-taped probably through customs. The sheets themselves were packed in ziplock bags labeled "QUEN" - I'm guessing for "queen" size. The "rust" colour is a butter yellow, not like the colour shown online. I contacted the company about this first and received no response. The grey set has white thread stitching throughout. after removing the sheets from the ziploc bags and having a close look and feel that's when I realized they are not as advertised at all. Basically the quality of the sheets is like a Walmart polyester blend sheet set and not even close to %100 linen. There are no manufacturing tags anywhere on any of the sheets to show their composition, care and where they were made. The Oeko-Tex® 100% Natural Linen Bedset advertised on the website shows an "r" registered trademark for Oeko-Tex. How can the use that to describe the sheets and not have any labels to prove it?
I feel I've been totally scammed into spending $284.75 Canadian dollars for fake linen sheets. Also the prices shown are misleading as they are in US dollars but you don't know this until after you checkout and pay and it's too late to cancel. I've contacted then for a return/refund but looking into reviews online they make it almost impossible to do that with high return shipping costs and not knowing if they even receive returns resulting in no refunds. I'm completely skeptical at this point that I would even get a response from them.
I know I fell for their false marketing and advertising, I saw enough good but probably fake reviews and didn't do a deep enough dive online. I hope this report can result in something to prevent others from ordering fake linen sheets for hundreds of dollars!

Fake Check/Money Order - Phishing Scam - FBI Impostor
Hello, dear fund owner. I am Christopher G. Raia, the newly appointed
Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), USA. The
Debt Reconciliation Compensation Funds for the year 2026 were recently
discussed in an interagency collaboration meeting with President Donald
Trump, FBI Director Kash Patel, ICE Director Todd Lyons, and U.S.
Secretary of State, Mr. Marco Rubio. This is to inform you that your email
has been included to receive compensation funds totaling $13.5 million,
which will be delivered to you via a Global Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
Visa card and a secure consignment box.
This compensation has been approved by the Trump administration for
individuals affected by fraud perpetrated by the illegal aliens from
Somalia and Cuba, who were captured and investigated by Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the massive deportation operation in the
first year of President Trump’s term in office.
During the investigation, ICE confirmed that these illegal aliens were
engaged in fraudulent activities, drug trafficking, and extortion against
innocent individuals in the USA. If you’re a fraud victim and you
receive this email, please follow the instructions below. But, if you are
not a fraud victim and you received this email, then your email address
was randomly selected among the lucky fifteen beneficiaries chosen to
receive these compensation inheritance funds from the fraud money
recovered by ICE. This decision was made by the Interagency Board of
Committee following a random email draw that was conducted after the
interagency collaboration meeting at the White House.
The consignment box contains a cash sum of $10,000,000, while the ATM card
has a balance of $3,500,000, bringing the total amount to $13.5 million,
all sealed and ready for delivery to your designated address. To proceed,
kindly Reconfirm the required information by emailing it to the appointed
FBI special agent, Mr. Jordan Scott who is in charge of the delivery to
your designated address ([email protected])
.Full Name:
.DOB: Date of birth
.Gender:
.Occupation Or If Retired:
.Phone Number:
.Home Address:
Nearest Airport:
. Driver's License or any government-issued ID, along with a separate
photo or selfie holding your ID to ensure that both images clearly
identify the same person to whom the assistant deputy director will be
delivering the funds. This is very important for the safety of your funds,
ensuring they are not delivered to the wrong person. Below are the contact
details of the assigned FBI diplomatic delivery agent:
Name: Mr. Jordan Scott, Representative of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, FBI California, USA.
Email ([email protected])
Agent Security Number: 0115
For proper clarification, please make sure to include the Agent Security
Number 0115 and the compensation amount along with Deputy Director
Christopher G. Raia in your email subject line.
Phone/Text Number: +1 (213) 986-3360 Text only.
Once Mr. Jordan Scott receives this information and the Assistant United
States Attorney (AUSA) clearance fee, he will proceed with the delivery of
your inheritance funds of $13,500,000 to your designated address, with an
estimated time period of 48 hours. The only fee you will need to pay is
$595.00 to the office of the Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) for
the fund release certificate of clearance for your inheritance funds. This
certificate must be obtained using the information you provided and then
signed by the AUSA department, which will indicate that the inheritance
funds have been fully claimed and are ready for delivery. Mr. Jordan Scott
will guide you on how to proceed with the payment once you contact him
with the required information mentioned above.
I would like to reassure you of the 100% legitimacy of these funds, as we
will not be involved in any fraudulent act and will never be. Thank you in
advance for your cooperation. Christopher G. Raia FBI Deputy Director.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Online Hotel Booking Scam
I called the number on the website that I believed was the number for the Hampton Inn. An AI voice bot took all my information (Clue: She reeled off long bits of policy without pausing to listen well for an answer as a normal person would). Clues she wasn't legit: Didn't take AAA. Didn't allow for cancellation a few days before--had to do a full night's deposit, etc. I asked if at the beginning she was from Hampton Inn and she said yes, she was from reservations. I asked if she was AI & she protested that she was a real person. When I tried to cancel the reservation, the first person said they didn't have it. The second one hung up on me. And the 3rd one said she'd try to cancel it after I told her I was reporting the company to you. However, the receipt (which showed my purchase in Russian rubles) indicated that I'd still be responsible for paying for a full night. After I realized I'd been scammed, I canceled my credit card and will challenge the charges.
The number I called for help was the one listed as such on the website (very misleading):

Online Purchase - Online Event Tickets Purchase Scam
I bought 2 tickets for a "Tokyo Karts" in Baltimore, MD event scheduled for October 2025 (tickets purchased in October 2025). 2 days before the October 2025 date, the event was cancelled and rescheduled for March 2026. The company referenced permitting as an issue. 2 days before the March 2026 date, the event was rescheduled again for September 2026. When the March reschedule occurred, I started pursuing a refund. The company asked me to fill out a form which I sent in on March 4, 2026. Since then, I've e-mailed and received responses about 5-6 times with customer service saying "we're looking into my issue"; "we're escalating your issue to the refund team", etc. I'm now working with my bank's investigative division to recoup my funds. This company is still advertising future events, not just in Baltimore but all over the country. this is a scam and they are taking everyone's money. The home company is based in Berlin, and they're working with a local organizer who is the scammer who is taking people's money with no actual plans to host an event.

Phishing - Phishing - Loan Solicitation Scam
I am reporting a deceptive robocall/phishing scam targeting consumers with fake personal loan offers. The scam originates from spoofed local numbers, but the automated AI-generated voicemail instructs victims to call back the toll-free number 888-310-4836 (or the related number 877-578-1953).
The voicemail transcript typically states: “ This should be a straightforward process. And in many cases, like yours, we can have funds available within just a few days once everything is finalized. I've built strong relationships with both Prime and Subprime lenders over the years, and that allows to work through approvals a bit differently and often secure more flexible terms when needed. We also don't need any collateral for this, so the funds can be used for anything you have planned. Rates are starting to move up slightly but we can still lock in a lower 5.75% option right now. Press one now or reach me at 877-578-1953. Helen Hopkins here, based on what I'm seeing, this personal loan should be a straightforward process, and in many cases like yours, we can have funds available within just a few days. For example, if you're looking at borrowing around $25,000 at approximately 5.75%. Your payment could be about $458 per month. We can also adjust the structure to better fit your budget. When you have a moment, please call me back at 888-310-4836 again, 888-310-4836 and I'll go ahead and walk you through everything.”
This is a phishing and advance-fee loan scam designed to harvest personal identifiable information (PII) and bank account details, or demand upfront fees for a loan that does not exist. No legitimate business name or physical address is provided.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam
I ordered and received 3 long sleeve shirts and one sleeveless shirt at a cost of 234.80. The return policy was not disclosed to me before ordering. When trying to return all 4 items the items I found out that the company is not based in Savannah GA as it presents itself but in China. This would have cost me 35.15 with no tracking for First Class, 70.30 with Priority and tracking, or 79.80 with tracking and express delivery plus an additional 15 dollars for each item returned. The merchant offers a 30 day money back guarentee but there is no mention of the customer being charged for return shipping to CHINA. The customer is led to believe the company is in GA. This company is an online storefront which operates as a deceptive drop shipping operation rather than a legitamate boutique with a misleading return policy.

I was applying for a copy of a PA birth certificate for my husband. I typed in the website cited on form from PA DMV and I reached this site. I filled in the info.

I received the birth certificate. This happened in April, 2026. On May 19 my bank account was charged $9.99. I called usa-vrexprs houston, Texas. I got a voice recording telling me they were currently closed and to contact them through their website. I couldn't get into the website. I called my bank and told them I thought this was a fraudulent charge and they cancelled my debit card. On May 21. 2026 I got another charge from usa-vrexprs for $9.99. I called my bank again and discovered this site had used my husband's debit card number which they only could have gotten because I used his card to pay for the birth certificate. The bank cancelled his card and are currently investigating the charges.

Debt Collections - Debt Collections Scam
They called repeatedly and said if I did not respond immediately they would be hand delivering documents to my door by the end of the week. I eventually called back because I watched the mailman for the 4th time in my 8 years here put the mail in the mailbox earlier in the week only to find a “sorry we missed you” come pick this letter up at the post office note on top. I work 9-5 at home or 3+ hours from home for days at time. I’m at my desk for 8+ hours and tethered to a screen or on a highway 7 days a week. They said they were attempting to deliver a letter with no response. I said speak to the post office. She said I was in violation of the Fair Credit Act. She said she was retained by a third party debt collector to collect a cashnet loan from 2013. A loan made in my name without my permission by an ex that I eventually paid off with the last payment made in 2017 with a 75 dollar payment. Since I was 2.5 hours away at a work event on a Saturday and unable to get to post office, she told me to the office first thing Monday morning. When told her I have meetings and won’t be free until the afternoon, she gave me her extension.
I said I have no problem paying debt that I owe, but I am out of town and will not do anything until I have the letter they sent. Monday morning the calls started at 7:46 am . Each one more aggressive than the last with a very stern man lecturing me about how I was to call the office and upon failure to do so they would be moving forward with court proceedings.
I live in Pennsylvania. Legally debt is time-barred from court proceedings four years from date of last payment. This debts statue expired in 2021.
I’m just trying to fix my credit, man. I start gaining traction and then boom 47 calls in 3 hours about 17 lawsuits from companies I’ve never heard of.
If I’ve learned anything this week: if you receive a letter, a call, email or text that a judgement has been entered against you- do NOT CALL THE NUMBER, do not click the link, do not email or respond. Screenshot it. Save it. And Google- search “Civil court records ‘your county’ free”
If you’re not listed on there in the time span of at least 7 years— THERE IS NO JUDGEMENT.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam
Found website via link on Facebook. Site claimed to sell goods produced in USA and donations from each item purchased would be made to animal shelters assisting victims of the California wildfires. This drew my interest and I ordered 3 cat themed garments based on photos posted on the site and corresponding descriptions. The amount listed on my invoice was $105.00 but my credit card was charged a different amount by a different company name operating under Bluhorizons. It took almost a month for items to be delivered and tracking info which I checked often indicated that the items were coming from Ireland, not the US.. Customs info stated the shipment was received in Chicago from China. The items were all poorly made, did not match the images on line, and were all not to size. Customer service contact phone number led to a recorded message to send an email to their customer support department at [email protected]. I sent 4 messages but never received any reply. I have filed 2 disputes with my credit card company so far but because the seller sent them proof that the order has been fulfilled, they are still charging me for the purchase. I have notified them now of the fraudulent nature of this company and re-opened another dispute. Do not deal with this company!

A young lady on Naomidate.com named Li ID #1037059139 said see wanted to swap contact information . The cost of this is 5000 credits equivalent to a purchase of $1500, I said I was not willing to spend that kind of money. She then told me not to worry, she was going to cover the cost because she really wanted to be able to contact me. I told her no, I didn't want her to spend her money,but, she insisted we do it. So ,she then led me into a question and answer session for about 2 hrs. When it was over I realized I had been charged $3000 for that session. I question her about it ,she said she didn't realize U would be charged. I then reported this to [email protected]. They said they would get back to me but, that I had to furnish documentation of the encounter, that they would perform an investigation then get back to me.I full well knew that they had access to all this information by the young lady's ID number,but ,I did what they asked. I then reported this to my credit card company(Citi) and they told me that I would actually have to wait until the charges posted. Sandy, from support@naomidate contacted me after explaining my situation and they did their so called investigation she told me that they could not issue a refund , they would offer me 2000 credits for the site, I would guess to keep me on the site. I refused this offer because I wanted a refund. The next day Sandy came back with another offer of 3000 credits, I refused that offer Sandy has not gotten back to me. Know the situation I'm in, If I wanted to purchase the credits to get Li's contact info I would have had to pay around $1500/5000 credits + 500 credits to request the information, with no guarantees to get the contact. In total for that session I was charged $3000/11,000 credits. Twice as much that is supposedly required. I then asked Sandy to refund the total sum for the equivalent of 6000credits /$1500. No refunds! To top it of the young lady,Li, emails me out the blue, so I'm wondering how she got my contact. She wouldn't tell me. She apologized and offered to give me my money back if we met and I dropped the complaint. I refused. I the told her to wir the money to me by Walmart money services and got no response.

Counterfeit Product - GlucoZen
GlucoZen was/is advertised as a cure for diabetes. A long list of celebrities were used online to tout the effectiveness of this preparation. This was later found to be misinformation after further research, after I had ordered and paid 215.28 for three dropper bottles of 30 cc each of the preparation. My doctor advised me to send it back for a refund, which I did. He indicated that the ingredients were possibly of no value whatsoever in mitigating diabetes. He also indicated he had no idea the impact the contents would have when mixed with my current treatment.
The order was returned with a tracking # with attempts to recover the refund were futile.

Phishing - Optimal-Auction
I am reporting a fraudulent business operating under the name “Optimal-Auction” which appears to be intentionally impersonating a legitimate company, Optimal Auction Group, LLC.
This fraudulent operation is advertising farm equipment, construction machinery, automobiles, commercial vehicles, and other equipment on its website at unusually low prices in an attempt to lure buyers into sending payment. The equipment being advertised does not appear to actually exist in their inventory, and the business itself does not appear to be legitimate.
The name being used is intentionally similar to a legitimate company’s name, which creates confusion and falsely implies an association with a legitimate auction business. This impersonation has the potential to damage a company’s reputation and financially harm consumers who believe they are purchasing real equipment.
Based on the evidence available, this appears to be a scam operation designed to collect money for equipment that they do not own or possess. I am requesting that this matter be investigated and that appropriate warnings or actions be taken to protect consumers from financial loss and to prevent further impersonation of a business.

Phishing - Paypal / impostor
Got a notification from Shop that 849 pounds were being paid via my Paypal. The notification indicated to call 802-342-1714 to contact if this was not me doing the transaction. Called the number. First time I was hungup on when questioned as they had me go to a website called Supremo and download something that in no way was Paypal. The second time I called a guy wanted me to go to my computer and press ctrl window alt key all at once. I was told that this was needed to file the complaint with Paypal and they access my computer because it was compromised. I questioned him again and said that this phone call could be the real scam and I hung up. Changed my paypal password and I see how people get scammed. They are very good.

Worthless Problem-solving Service
Trademark Advisers (trademarkadvisers.com), operating as Impactful Insights LLC, poses as a licensed trademark law firm. Neither representative Jason Walker nor Wayne Robson are registered USPTO practitioners — Attorney of Record on the filed application shows NONE. Payments are processed under "Impactful Insights LLC" to obscure merchant identity and complicate dispute filings. The scam follows a pattern of inventing fake USPTO fees at each stage: a false Office Action response fee of $1,300 was solicited in January 2026 — USPTO records confirm no Office Action was ever issued. A $600 Statement of Use fee was later demanded for a use-based application that requires no such filing — the representative admitted the error in writing only after being confronted with USPTO records. Wayne Robson is publicly identified as an alias used in this same trademark scam via USaTrademarkPros targeting independent business owners. FTC, FBI IC3, USPTO, and California AG complaints have been filed.

Worthless Problem-solving Service - Mobile Auto Repair Scam
Manassas Park Department of Social Services received a report of scam/ financial exploitation as documented below:
"efer to information Mr. ****** (and daughter ******* ******) provided Officer *******, ***********. In September 2025, Mr. ****** contracted American Dream RV to perform repair services on his fifth-wheel RV located at ********** ************ ******* **** ***** ***** ***** ****** **** ************* ********, for a total agreed cost of $4,535.00. In good faith, Mr. ****** paid $2,300.00 in cash across two installments-$1,200.00 on September 16, 2025, and $1,100.00 on September 23, 2025.
Despite multiple assurances via text and telephone that the repairs would be completed-including specific commitments on October 13, 2025, and November 5, 2025-no work was ever performed. Mr. ****** made a formal request for a refund on October 26, 2025, and received additional verbal promises of repayment; however, no funds have been returned to date.
This failure to perform services after accepting payment, combined with the retention of funds, constitutes a violation of Virginia law, including Va. Code § 18.2-200.1 and the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. Additionally, available evidence suggests a broader pattern of similar conduct by American Dream RV involving other consumers.
As a result, Mr. ****** has incurred a financial loss of $2,300.00, with no services rendered and no restitution provided despite repeated attempts to resolve the matter."

Phishing - Brite Lending / impostor / Benjamin
Ben called Michael and told him he was approved for a $7k loan. Then had Michael go to Walmart after he put money in Mikes account and wire if back to him thru Walmart (twice). We tried calling Ben and phone # was disconnected. Next day we discovered that two of his mortgage payments were reversed by triad financial and sent to the scammer. Triad Fin will not give the two payments back to us even though their fault for returning it to someone other than Michael. They never even called Michael to see if he wanted the mtg payments reversed and those funds sent to someone else.
