Counterfeit Product

Advertised embroidered breast cancer support garments, designed embroidered and shipped from Tennessee. Sale price and discount coupon were not honored, and unexplained charges (for customs charges) were added at checkout with no explanation. Product is not embroidered, is iron-on, material feels slimy, and garment is ill-fitting. They say they will refund 15% of my payment (which would be approximately what I should have paid for what was advertised). Basically, accept that, or no refund at all. Think actually from China.

I received a voicemail that came to me via text message from…. 17252998564 Deposited a new message: "Ryan from CVC. A recent investigation uncovered credit card companies and major banks have violated consumer protection laws such as the Fair Credit Billing Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act. Because of this, these businesses are not allowed to collect on their accounts, meaning you are no longer legally required to pay back certain debt, and those balances will also be removed from your credit report. To hear which banks and credit card companies were found guilty. And what will be removed from your credit, call 888-389-3588. Again, that's 888-389-3588."

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

On August 11,2026. I ordered 3 pop up privacy tents from this website that appeared on the Shop App. I checked on the status of the items and it said pending. I figured it would take awhile plus no deductions appeared on my bank account from Corat Styles at the time. However on August 16th, I received a text from my banks Fraud Prevention Service. I called and was informed about several suspicious charges on my account. There were about 10 deductions from my account from an entity listed as KIDDI WONDERS and an additional 14 deductions from another entity listed as OMNISTYLYESWEAR.COM. The unauthorized transactions were over $3500.00. I did not fo business with nor did I authorize anyone else to do business with either of these entities. I subsequently placed a claim with my bank, which they denied. I appealed their decision and was again denied. I now have to figure out what I can do. And lo and behold the CoratStyles website no longer exists.

Employment - Employment Solicitation Scam

Applied for a photographer position on Ziprecruiter. Was reached back out to by email within a few hours about setting up a videocall meeting the following week. Did the videocall and a couple days later "got the job." He told me to download Telegram (which I was unaware is also an app associated with scams) for a groupchat with other "team members" as well as another app as a point of sales system since the position required selling framed photos. I had not updated my phone in a long time and it required a lot of space on my phone to use the new tap to pay option and I didn't know until last minute. When I reached out to the team they cancelled my shift, then 20 minutes later another member said the restaurant had closed and never notified them. I called this restaurant (that is on apple maps) multiple times over the next few days and they never answered but do have what sounds like an outdated automated messaging system, so I assume they used a closed down restaurant to their advantage. During an onboarding videocall they never brought up w2 or w4, and mentioned cash pay out at the end of every shift.

He asked me to confirm my address (which he knew) and then said I needed to provide an email address to "get her scores faster" and a credit card on file in case I didn't return the materials.

My Android was missing the QR Code app. When I went to search/download a QR Code reader I began to be flooded with pop-up adds. Most were from Guardio, none of the pop ups allowed the option to simply 'X' out of the pop up. The Guardio security and Guardio phone cleanup auto filled my email address and PNC Debit Card. I tried shutting off my phone but when I turned it back on the popup adds - now with videos designed to add concern/urgency - kept reappearing. I was unable to even dial out as the popup adds kept intruding. My bank's card security called me and I submitted an incident report. I took my phone to Verizon. The technician said he had seen instances of this kind from the company. He was able to find the search for a QR Code reader as the starting-point of all of the popup adds. He was able to erase all of them - for a fee. I ask for any and all subscriptions from Guardio be canceled and that the fees be refunded. I feel that the subscriptions were the result of my phone having been compromised and Guardio having taken advantage of that event.
