The company advertises a double sided ultra plush sherpa blanket with quilt like panels depicting scenes and quotes from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. The advertised special is "Buy 2 Get 1 Free." I ordered this special and paid $79.98 plus $4.95 shipping. I received two blankets but did not receive the advertised third one. The blankets are both incredibly thin and not sherpa lined. Also, the panels have ridiculous misspellings, gibberish, and words in foreign languages. The pictures in the advertisements do not depict what I actually received.

Online Purchase

Company: Teachabags Website: https://teachabags.com Complaint: On October 19, 2026, I purchased survival flashlights from Teachabags after viewing an advertisement within the War Robots mobile game. My credit card was charged $59.00. The advertisement indicated that I would receive four flashlights (including one free item). The order was delivered on November 2, 2026. However, I received only three flashlights instead of the four advertised and purchased. Additionally, the products received did not match the quality, appearance, or performance represented in the advertisement and on the company's website. The flashlights appeared to be made from very low-quality plastic, were substantially different from the product shown in promotional materials, and performed significantly worse than ordinary budget flashlights available from local retailers. When I attempted to contact the company for a refund, the customer service email address published on the website was non-functional, with multiple emails returned as undeliverable. I eventually located a different customer service email address from my order confirmation and was able to contact the company. Rather than honor my request for a full refund, the company repeatedly offered partial refunds of 16%, 30%, 40%, and 50% while requiring me to keep the products. When I declined these offers, I was informed that I would have to return the products to China at my own expense to obtain a full refund. The return address provided was: Mr. Zhang 3/F, Building A, No. 115 Fuyuan 1st Road Bao'an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518101 China Shipping estimates ranged from approximately $35 via USPS to over $300 via UPS, making the return process impractical and excessively costly compared to the $59.00 purchase price. I believe the products were materially misrepresented and that the company's refund and return practices are unreasonable and unfair to consumers. Desired Resolution: I am requesting a full refund of $59.00 to my original payment method without requiring me to pay international return shipping costs for products that do not match the advertised description and quality. Supporting Documentation Available: • Order confirmation • Credit card charge record • Product photos • Screenshots of the advertisement and website listing • Email correspondence regarding refund requests and offers • Return shipping estimates

Other - Spoofing Scam

I called this 844-506-1555 and they sent out some techs supposedly from San Francisco Garage Door and Repair. I paid 20% down for the new garage door which was $750 on Venmo. The total cost of the door was $3500, but I only paid the down payment. The company name on Venmo is "Garage Door Service", which is NOT San Francisco Garage Door and Repair! The guy said his name was John but is name on the Venmo Account is @Yehnatan-Baron. He gave me his cell number as 628-287-7463, but is name is not John as per Venmo! Then, I actually called a different number for San Francisco Garage Door Repair that I got from Google, which shows as 650-835-4420. However, if you call that number, it comes up as "Murphy And Pressentin", which is a law firm! So, these guys are spoofing numbers and using different company names and aliases to scam people. Also, yesterday when I called the 844-506-1555 I got a person. Today when I called it was an AI generated voice that said they would check on the door bid but never did. They never called back! Long story, this 844-506-1555 is using different names and business aliases to impersonate different companies locally here in San Francisco and are scamming people.

Employment - Voices in Motion

At approximately 10:08AM on Wednesday Sept. 16th I received an email in my personal inbox detailing interest in hiring me for a job with VoiceSpeaks, offering $32/hr. I was hesitant at first and replied with available times and dates for an interview. Afterwards I did my due diligence in looking up some sort of business or LinkedIn profile, finding a LinkedIn profile with the exact business name and a website. I reached out to the LinkedIn user of VoiceSpeaks and asked if this job offer was accurate and legitimate on the same day at about 10:40AM. I received a reply from the LinkedIn profile on September 21st at 9:04AM confirming that this job was indeed legitimate and they were hiring for an Executive Virtual Assistant position. At the time, it was also posted on the LinkedIn profile detailing the job for Part-time, $30/hr, Fully Remote. That LinkedIn has since been deleted, as well as the post. My interview was scheduled on Zoom for Thursday Sep 24, 2026 · 1:30pm – 2pm EST. I showed up for the interview and it was only about 10 minutes. During the interview they asked me about my job background, my resume, and if I was comfortable handling emails on someone else’s behalf. That very next day I got an email stating I had been hired and extended the opportunity and even sent me an offer letter to sign and send back to them. I did so and then HR took over the onboarding from there. A follow-up email was then sent to me to sign up into the job portal. From there I had a client match name Sheila Donnelly, who was supposedly a cofounder of BlueSkye Development, over IM on the work email on GMail, then I was scheduled to work from 9AM to 1PM M-F with this client. The work included a morning bank account check where I had to call the clients bank, then a spread sheet and training documents for a 6 week training. I was offered another opportunity to show up to an auction in NYC that was private and invite only. The entry fee of $100,000 was offered to be paid for, as well as all travel plus a $5000 payment for showing up. I was even given a website to check into called Prive Auctions and a contact to email. A check was sent to me for $4800 via FedEx Overnight. I deposited it and it was flagged and my bank closed my account and told me it was linked to an already closed account. I booked a private charter flight for this “client” as well with provided card numbers that I don’t even know were real or not. I had to fill out an invoice for this flight. I was working for them for five weeks when I woke up to login on 11/4/26 to realize my accounts for my portal and work email have been deleted. To my knowledge there are three other victims of this fraud, they have acquired SSN’s, bank details, and none of us ever received a paycheck.

Online Purchase - LLC Registration

This "business" poses themselves as registered agent services and LLC filing. After submitting an LLC filing, there is a VERY short 2 week trial period not at all clearly outlined for the registered agent services. This length of services doesn't even allow for a reasonable waiting period for the submitted LLC filing to be approved. I requested directly after submitting to cancel this process request and services after which I was told it was already submitted. Further contact with the unnamed support agent via email said that request to cancel the registered agent service would have to be done after LLC approval. There is no option on the website portal or method given to deny renewal after the trial period. This blatantly lies about the costs incurred and gives a pretense of a filing fee without the added on registered agent services fee and then you are told as though you are pretty much required to continue services I have asked to cancel and not continue after the "free trial."

Employment - Employment Scam

Sales Flow Co is a SCAM! Much like the other person who reported about them happened to me as well. I've been going through this since earlier this year. And all began when someone from the sales flow a team reach out to me about a job opportunity an appointment setting that could give me up to $3,000 a month and income. Through the 90 days of service that they do teach you to become a skilled appointment setter, at the end of your 90 days after you complete and turn in your work and showing that you are knowledgeable in all the steps that they've taught you, you are supposed to get A FULL REFUND after the 90 day process. After I had shown my work that I have completed everything that was required of me I was told that I was going to get my refund back completely by not only my coach Sasha and the head team leader Bradley, but also the refund team that was apart of the program stated that I was to get my full refund back after completing my program. The way that everything was set up was through credit cards, they had me set up a credit card through my Capital One account through a venturex card. Once they charged my card and after my 90-day process they went ghost. There was no more communication about when my refund was coming back, they locked me out of the website that you used to log in and their main website that had all their information has been removed. As many times as I have emailed the refund team and tried to reach out to my previous coach named Sasha I have not heard anything back in months. They charged a $6,000 charge for learning how to be an appointment setter and another 6,000 to learn how to become a closer and this was all supposed to be knowledge and skill-based to get into the next level of being really good at sales and increasing your income. As months go by and the next year is coming closer they have not said anything to me nor have they went ahead and taken care of the costs. Do not join a company called sales flow! They will take your money and look you right in the face and lie to you. I am wanting this resolved and reopening my dispute that I had once canceled because the fraudulent company stated that they were going to pay the fees as they promised through contracts, they lied to me for a second time and still I have not seen any progress financially to pay back what they owe me. I would love for this to be fully investigated and get those crooked people away from innocent folks who are just trying to better their lives AND MY MONEY BACK!

Tracking Number: ************** Kindly confirm if you receive the payment and please go ahead to deposit it into your bank account using your preferred method: * In person at a bank branch - Through an ATM that accepts check deposits - Via your bank’s mobile deposit feature After completing the deposit, please retain the deposit receipt or confirmation. Take a clear photograph of the receipt, send it to me as proof of deposit, ensuring that any personal or account information is fully concealed. Once the proof of deposit has been received, further instructions will be provided. In addition, I have decided to allocate the remaining balance in support of an orphanage. I have already communicated with their representatives and received a list of required items. Due to the high cost associated with shipping, it was mutually agreed that the organization would purchase the items directly. Once the funds are available in your account, please deduct $850 as your first week’s earnings, as previously discussed, and arrange for the remaining balance to be forwarded to the orphanage. I will provide the necessary details for that separately moving forward. I will be sending additional assignments for you to complete over the next few weeks. Please be assured that all tasks will be managed reasonably, and compensation will continue to be provided on a weekly basis in accordance with our agreement. I only replied saying no text message received and asked the company name and why a gmail address. I have been applying to jobs for over a year and now this? Kindly reply to acknowledge receipt of this message. Thank you again for your time and interest in this opportunity. We look forward to communicating with you further about the position. I did reply saying: I have never spoken to you or applied to any job for you.? The envelope came - I am destroying it. No company name, no information at all. Next email comes: Hello, I hope you are doing well and that all is well with you. I would like you to proceed with your first assignment, as outlined in my previous email. Could you kindly confirm whether you have received and deposited the check? I also sent you a text message from my phone number, (414) 788-1199. Please confirm whether you received that message as well. Thank you, and I look forward to your response. Again I reply: As I responded previously: I have never spoken to you or applied to any job for you.? No name of company no interview no explanation of anything. The envelope came - I am destroying it. No company name, no information at all. Response: Good Morning, how are you doing today and how was your night? Can I please have an update on how far you have gone with your first assignment? Have you deposited the check yet? Please advise. Thank you Best regards, Michael Bon Sue My reply: I have told you No. I have no information from you - the check has been destroyed. Today - November 4th: Hello, this now seems to me that you want to run away with my hard earned money. After all this while I have not heard from you. I will have to involve the Sheriffs, FBI and the local CIA on this because it seems you want to ***** me and you have refused to reply to my mails concerning the money I sent to you. All our conversation chain is being watched by the federal bureau and besides,I have a cousin that works as a fraud investigator for FBI. The Painter had been waiting to have the transfer details so they can go ahead to have the painting work done and you can have your work done too before my arrival. I will be giving you 6 hrs to get back to me and get me updated on how far you have gone with the check or else, i won't hesitate to give them your details for investigation and arrest This is his contact office address in-case you want to verify Federal Bureau of Investigation - St. Louis Attn: Internet Fraud Division 2222 Market Street St. Louis, Missouri GOOD DAY Now instead of an orphanage, it is a painter! I am not replying, I did report them to the FBI fraud line which I received from AARP Fraud. I have all the emails printed, and I have the check for evidence. This bothers me as I do not know who this is or how to stop it.

On September 17, 2026, I received a debt-collection text message from Northeast Asset Group at approximately 11:27 p.m. local time. The message was addressed to my ex-husband and stated that it was a formal communication regarding an account and that his payment arrangement had defaulted. I am not the person responsible for this debt. I had previously received one telephone call from Northeast Asset Group while I was at work. During that call, I informed the representative that the person they were attempting to reach is my ex-husband and that I do not associate with him. I do not know how Northeast Asset Group obtained my personal telephone number or associated it with this debt. Despite my prior conversation with the company, Northeast Asset Group subsequently sent a debt-collection text concerning my ex-husband to my personal telephone number. The text was received at approximately 11:27 p.m. on September 17, 2026, which was after 9:00 p.m. local time. I responded “STOP” to the text message. Northeast Asset Group subsequently confirmed that I had opted out and would no longer receive messages from the service. I am concerned about why my personal telephone number was associated with another person's debt and why Northeast Asset Group sent a debt-collection communication to my number after I had already informed its representative that I was not the person they were attempting to contact. I am also concerned about the timing of the text message. I would like Northeast Asset Group to investigate how my telephone number was obtained and associated with this account, remove my number from its records and collection systems associated with this debt, cease contacting me regarding another person's debt, and explain the circumstances surrounding the late-night text message. I have retained screenshots of the text message, my STOP response, and the company's confirmation of my opt-out, as well as my telephone call history.
