There is no update on the shipment and there is no phone number to call. The most disturbing part of this is that - I used my credit card to make the purchase and per their stmt it was suppose to show "VH PRODUCTS" or "G Styles LLC" on my stmt. Instead I show that the 229 was made against Voirhomme.com.

I called a number from online, thinking it was Enterprise Rental, but it was a sponsored site with this fake number of impostors, 844-860-2727. They scammed me out of $800.00 claiming to be Enterprise Rental Co. I was calling to modify a previous reservation. This number I called was a sponsored ad number . Please make sure you have the official number. These scammed had me go to CVS and get "Go Bank card", load money on it, call them when done. Then they asked for last 4 digits of card and 3 digits on back card and then when I hung up they had taken all my money. I went to Enterprise Rental at Baton Rouge Metro Airport and they told me I was scammed because they didn't take "Go Bank cards. I am a senior citizen and my intentions here are to help others avoid such a scam! I hope and pray that this helps someone!

They had a natural cure used by ingredients from Japan honey cinnamon and other ingredients. They had researchers develop a supplement to cure this. The video automatically brought me to the Cinna Shield website. I purchased 3 bottles and 3 bottles were given free. I try to cancel order after trying to reach the company with the email given and phone number given. There was no answers to emails and when I called the phone number given the person answering said the 3 times I called she couldn’t hear me. The fourth time I called it went straight to an answering machine. I left a message with my phone number. That was yesterday. I still haven’t heard from the company. The order I placed was on 9/11/2026. Emailed that same day. Emailed again 9/12/2026.

Saw a beautiful dress on line from a company called Mooyius. Ordered the dress using credit card. Several weeks went by and dress arrived looking nothing like dress on line using stiff fabric and poorly made. . . and also didn’t fit my body. Tried to return the dress. Mooyius would not give me a return address even though I stated that I wanted a refund to the original payment and that I would return the dress at my own expense. Instead, they sent me the exact same poorly fitted, poorly made, poor quality dress in the next size up while I was away on vacation. Immediately on my return from vacation, I notified support@Mooyius that I wanted to return both dresses. Please send me the address so that I can mail back at my own expense and that (again) I wanted my refund. At this, the online support (chat) informed me that I had not returned the items within 14 days and that would not accept a return and not refund any money. What a scam!!! Just list $189.00

The webiste looks amazing but it is fake. I placed an order and what they send me was no where close to what I ordered. There was a money back guarantee on the website but again this is a scam. I have been back and forth with them at least 4 times. I finally contacted my credit card company to dispute the payment and hopefully I can get my money back. I went on their facebook page and saw the posts similar to what happened to me. ________________________________________________ Here is one of the many emails I sent to them... Customer Service Orfolia, I am and EXTREMELY OUTRAGED customer, Your website says and I quote “100% Risk Free Ironclad Guarantee – Your Satisfaction Our Promise”We stand behind our products with absolute confidence—and we promise that in writing. If you’re not completely satisfied for any reason—no excuses, no complicated forms—contact us and we’ll promptly arrange a free replacement of full or refund. This is our no-nonsense commitment to you: shop with total peace of mind.” Well I am 0000% satisfied. How you could send me items pictured above in place of what I actually ordered is OUTRAGESOUS!!! _______________________________________ Here is one of their replies. They want me to keep the junk they sent. It appears to me that if I send it back they are not responsible if it gets "Lost in the mail". Dear Customer, I'm sorry for the issue with your order. We are so sorry to hear that you are not willing to accept this suggestion. This is the best proposal that I can provide to you, but in this case, I have checked with our manager, we would like to offer you an exceptional proposal which will be provided to you only: how about we provide a 20% refund for the product. Otherwise, you will cost more than 20USD for shipping the product back to us and customers need to be responsible for the returning shipping fee. However, due to the instability of logistics, we do not recommend that you return the package. Otherwise, we will not bear the losses caused by logistics. I would be very grateful if you would accept our offer. I look forward to hearing from you. Again, thank you for contacting us! Have a great day.

I placed an online order with Joyfball on July 28, 2026, for three soccer uniforms totaling $73.70. On August 8, the company emailed me stating that the order had shipped and provided tracking number ZS15855505099. However, the tracking information has not provided a verifiable carrier, delivery date, or proof that the package was delivered. Joyfball’s website states that shipping to the United States normally takes 7–15 working days. The order is now well beyond that timeframe and has still not arrived. I have contacted the company four separate times through its listed customer-service contact information, but I have received no response, replacement, or refund. I am reporting this because the company accepted payment, failed to deliver the merchandise, provided ineffective tracking information, and will not respond to requests for assistance. I am disputing the $73.70 debit-card charge with my financial institution.

I was shopping online for appliances and came across Prime Home Appliances at primehomeappliances.com. I became concerned about the legitimacy of the business when I learned that they would not accept a credit card and instead required payment through services such as Zelle, Cash App, or Chime. I asked whether I could pick the appliances up directly from their warehouse so I could verify the business and merchandise in person. I did not receive a response to that question. However, when I previously indicated that I was interested in purchasing the appliances, they responded immediately. I then contacted the City of Richmond in an attempt to verify the warehouse address that Prime Home Appliances provided. The city was unable to verify that the business was renting or owned the establishment associated with the address I was given. Prime Home Appliances also claims to have a warehouse in Texas and to be part of the “Prime Home Warehouse Network.” There were also several concerns with their online presence. Their Facebook page displays reviews, but I could not find any option on the page for a customer to actually leave a review. In addition, the phone number displayed on their website contains too many digits and appears to be invalid. Because they would not accept a credit card, required payment through person-to-person payment services, did not respond when I asked to pick up the appliances at their warehouse, and I was unable to independently verify the Richmond warehouse location through the city, I did not feel comfortable sending payment. I did not complete the purchase or send any money. I am submitting this report because these circumstances raised significant concerns about the legitimacy of the business and I believe other consumers should exercise caution before sending funds.

Rental

I came across this listing on apartment list recently. I sent an email interested in applying for this apartment that was listed as a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom utilities included apartment for $2000. I instantly got an email in regards to this listing with an application form to apply. I apply and send over the application immediately. I got an email back stating I was approved and the next step was to sign the lease and process payment for first month’s rent and deposit. I was informed to send over the payment through Zelle or wire transfer. I sent over the $4000 payment through wire transfer thinking that was the last step onto receiving my keys to the apartment. I then get another email stating they needed an extra $2000 for last month’s rent which i know most properties require, so I sent that over again through wire transfer. They state through email and text message that would be the last payment. I then later get another email the next day telling me I have to put down another $3000 due to me being a first time renter and credit score. They told me that would get applied to next two months rent so I sent that over. They stated that would be the very LAST payment and once’s processed I can come to the property and pick up my keys. After that wire transfer processes and is received, I get another email from them that didn’t feel right at all and knew something was up. Then the day before I am supposed to receive my keys I get an email stating: Payment has been received. I’ll attach your receipts below for your records. There was a miscommunication in my earlier email regarding the $3,000 payment, as this was not the final payment. Terri recently found out that the previous tenant had not been paying the electricity bills, which resulted in the electricity being disconnected just yesterday. Therefore, the outstanding electricity payment needs to be addressed. Additionally, the credit limit mentioned earlier was an additional 4–6 months. The owner would like to use part of the payment to take care of the outstanding balance today. As a result, the owner is requesting an additional four months’ rent which is $8,000 Because of the inconvenience caused, as well as the credit score concerns, the owner has confirmed that this will be the last additional payment you will be required to make. Your next rent payment will be due on April 1st 2027. However, instead of paying the full monthly rent, you will only be required to pay $1,000 for April as compensation for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Best regards, Austin That was the last straw for me after that email because I know landlords cannot legally do that. They’ve tried to keep switching up the story on why I need to pay that much and that’s when I knew I had to take matters into my own hands. I got in contact with a friend that is a realtor and I break the whole situation down to her and she then says to stop communication and report this. This listing is a scam on apartment list that is not to be trusted. This all resulted to me getting scammed out of $9000 dollars.

I ordered what was advertised as a beautiful 2 piece denim outfit and dress. After I didn’t receive it for a number of weeks I initiated a dispute trough my credit card company. I eventually received 2 2-piece outfits that resemble prison uniforms! many attempts to get a refund resulted in numerous correspondence asking for the same information over and over again: order number photos etc. Long story short. although the return address o the package was in California, they insisted I would need to return it to China at an expense more than I paid for the crap they sent

Online Purchase

I saw on Ad thru Facebook/Instagram for solutions for mice/rodents, everything did seem AI made but for promotion. Signed up for a trial of the product, bags to be placed around the home to keep mice away. I never received the product and was charged again later on as I was signed up for a recurring payment without my consent. The site does not allow you to Cancel Membership and never gives confirmation. I have since canceled my credit cards and will be going to my bank to report fraudulent activity!
