I was looking for a company to clean my chimney before winter. I did a search and found this company. I've called them three times and someone was supposed to come out and look my situation over. Each time, no one showed up. There is no address for the business. When I call, it's like I'm talking to AI.

Online Purchase

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.

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."

It instructed me to call 888-843-4492 and use pin # 1754343. I called both numbers and received the same AI-generated voice, with instructions to enter the pin. It wanted me to confirm but I refused to say yes. I didn't speak at all. It repeated the question and instructions several times and then disconnected. If I had to guess, they were either trying to sell me an Advantage plan or it was a scam to get my healthcare information.

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!

Online Purchase - Free Chihuahua Puppies for Rehoming

I was contacted by this Chihuahua breeder via facebook messanger asking if I was interested in a puppy. I was looking for a puppy so I engaged in the conversation. They let me know it would be a $200 fee prior to delivery to hold the puppy. Once my money was available, I went to the bank and got a bank check for that amount and was to receive the puppy with the paperwork in person when they delivered him to me. I let them know I had the check and they said a gift card was safer and asked me to bring the check back to the bank and get the cash to purchase a gift card. I did that and when I was able to withdraw the money from the bank the next day, I purchased the Apple gift card. I sent them a picture of the gift card and they asked me to scratch the card number off for them and resent the picture. Once I did that, they said they could no longer bring the puppy in person, and it would be delivered by an agency. I was asked for my name, address, phone number and email address, which I sent them. I was then contacted by the agency from the phone number 1-754-444-1433 letting me know they have the puppy to deliver, however I would need to rent or buy an electronic crate to get the puppy delivered to me comfortably. To rent to crate it would be $400 or $700 to buy the crate. This was never discussed with me prior and I refused. They said if I pay then this will be refunded 98% of the fee. When I asked for the $200 to be reimbursed to me, I never received a response.

On October 29, 2026, I purchased $100 in clothing from jmierrose.com, believing it was the official JMIERR website. I later discovered the merchant was POLLYEDIT, operating what appears to be a website impersonating the JMIERR brand. I requested cancellation on October 30, before shipment. Despite this, POLLYEDIT processed the transaction through Shop Pay/Affirm on November 2. The merchant repeatedly requested unnecessary documentation, including photos of products I had never received. On November 3, POLLYEDIT agreed in writing to issue a full refund, which I immediately accepted. However, the refund has not been confirmed or processed. I believe this is a deceptive online retail operation involving suspected brand impersonation, misleading merchant identity, and failure to honor an agreed refund. I have reported the merchant to Shopify and disputed the transaction with Affirm.

I paid $52.80 for plants and received an "invoice" but never got a confirmatory email or shipping date. I looked at their contact us page and there's no phone, location listed. I emailed them and never heard back. I did a google search and confirmed it was a fake site. I called my credit card company and got the charge disputed, so ultimately I didn't lose any money, but they need to be shut down. https://www.heirloomseedsdirect.com/contact-us/

Online Purchase - Rmfscrubs Scam

I ordered from the website and it gave me an arrival date of oct.15. I didn’t receive it so I emailed and they quoted me a 15 business day policy and said I’d receive the beginning of the following week. I didn’t receive and emailed again, then they quoted me a 20 business day shipping policy. When I finally received the item it was no longer needed. They’re refusing a refund and said they charge me a shipping and restock fee so I’d be out more money. I went to leave a review and they consistently send wrong items and refuse refunds. This place needs closed down and people need to be aware of this scam of a website that’s sadly in the US.

Online Purchase - Abundina

I ordered what I thought was a hard copy of a Bible. One month later, I realized I was being charged for a monthly subscription for a digital package. I knew nothing about this digital package. There was nothing in the description when I purchased the book and there was no confirming of any kind of subscription or non-one-time payment. Two months later, I received an email that the package was delivered, but it was not in fact. I checked with all my neighbors and I was contacting abundina via email. In the email, I described to them that I did not receive the package and I was not interested in the subscription and asked them to cancel it for me. Because when I went onto the website, I could not figure out how to cancel the subscription. A month went by and they still charged me a monthly fee and I still have no hard copy in mail. When I emailed them back, they said they cannot refund any of the money and that I need to follow up with the shipping company in order to file a report on the missing product. I tried contacting the shipping company. I don’t know if it was FedEx, UPS, or what, but I was not able to contact the shipping company. Now, since I can’t cancel the subscription through their website and they won’t do it for me, I have to cancel my bank account.
