Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - ACS Vacations and Arrivia

I received a flyer in the mail “inviting” me to a “Travel and Adventure Show” offering a complimentary cruise for participation in a 90 minute Zoom presentation. I initially spoke to a Cindy at the reservation desk to make an appointment for Monday, October 5, 2026 at 2:30 EST. I received a confirmation and a link for the Zoom call from an email “[email protected]”. We attended and completed the 90 minute Zoom call with Paul at approximately 4:15. He was extremely rude when we firmly told him we were not interested after hearing the price, which of course came down the more we engaged him! I finally asked how we would be receiving the rewards and he indicated we would be receiving a email with the reward information. I called on Wednesday, October 7, and Cindy indicated that I would receive an email from [email protected]. I did not. I called again October 9, and spoke to a Cody. He also indicated I would be receiving information from that email and that I should contact that email address again. Still no response. As of today, October 20, 2026 I still have not received anything. I’ve emailed to both those emails several times as well Interesting as well that when I tried to call the original number listed on the flyer I received with the offer (1-888-709-2444), speaking to someone named Cindy, then calling back a few minutes later and getting a message that my call can’t go thru? I then tried using another phone, got thru to the agent Cody with that phone, and after my conversation with him, I tried calling back and got the same message that my call can’t go thru? I’m assuming the numbers have been blocked? I then tried again a few minutes later from both of the phones I previously used, not able to get thru still, but when using a third phone I miraculously reached an agent?

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Elite Roadside Assistance

Subject: Complaint Regarding Battery Purchased from Elite Roadside, LLC In January 2025, I contacted my automobile insurance company’s roadside assistance service because my vehicle would not start. When assistance arrived, the technician informed me that I needed a new battery. The technician also had batteries available for purchase and sold me one through Elite Roadside, LLC, for $420. The battery was advertised as having a five-year warranty. In October 2026, I had to contact roadside assistance again due to another starting issue. My vehicle required a jump-start, but approximately one week later, I experienced another no-start issue. As of October 20, 2026, the problem has persisted, raising concerns about the battery’s reliability and the validity of the warranty. Over the past several weeks, I have made numerous attempts to contact Elite Roadside, LLC to address this issue. I have called the company’s listed phone number and left several voicemail messages. I also attempted to reach the company using its listed cell phone number, which is no longer in service. Additionally, I visited the business address provided, only to find that no such business appears to exist at that location. I am extremely concerned that, despite paying $420 for a battery with a five-year warranty, I am unable to reach the company for assistance or warranty service.

Counterfeit Product

I experienced the same thing as another person who reported this company. Eleanor and Daughters represented themselves to be a family business located in Georgia. I was very impressed with the look of the garments they were selling and placed an order. Subsequently, I learned that the item was being shipped from China. When I received the garment, the quality was appalling. The fabric was not of the look and quality in the website (a dark fabric had a white backing that showed anytime you moved). The construction was beyond shoddy. The garment edges were raw and unfinished. When I contacted them for a refund, they told me that I would have to ship it back to Asia in order to receive a full refund. Or they would offer me a 10% refund and I could keep the garment. I pushed back and they increased the refund to 30%. It has now been 10 days and I have yet to receive the credit on my card. This is clearly a scam and very disappointing.

Debt Collections

They called stating I owed money on a loan from 4 years ago from a credit union. I was under the impression that it was already paid off. The woman I spoke to stated I needed to pay $800 or my truck was going to be repossessed within the hour and sold. The truck I now own is through a completely different company and has only been in my possession less than a year. It was not used as collateral or anything for the previous loan. I have also never received any certified letters or any legal documents stating anything to this effect as well. When I asked for documentation, she stated they didn’t send out paperwork or anything, they simply send recommendations to the court and we would receive paperwork from them. I did not pay them anything and will be waiting for paperwork regarding the matter.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Publishers Clearing House- Imposter

Consumer stated to BBB the following regarding the scam: I was contacted by someone named "Marinda Dubins" stating that she was with Publishers Clearing House and I had won a prize. They stated I owed money for the grand total prize of "3 million" at "$500,000 a month" so I gave them my credit card to pay the taxes without thinking too much about it because I was tired. When they asked me to go get gift cards for $350 in total at a drug store I became suspicious and called my daughter to ask her about this. My daughter advised me that it was a scam and I called my bank to cancel my card and secure my account immediately. I wish people wouldn't scam like this because it's very scary.

An Etsy shop hosted by Kimberly Tsan listed a tarot deck with guidebook for pre-order on their website, which I purchased through the shop on their website. I paid for the deck June 28 and finally received the item last week, October 14. The package did not include a guidebook. I verified both their website and Kickstarter clearly show photos of the guidebook. The website clearly states that it is included: "comes with 44 cards, a 302-paged guidebook". I contacted the creator immediately, Oct 14, to let them know about this problem and offered to return this package if needed to receive a replacement. They asked for photos, which I sent. They followed up again are refusing to offer any sort of refund or replacement, even if I return the package I received at my own expense. Since I replied to that to again express disappointment and ask about possible resolutions, they have quit responding.

Employment

I received an email containing a job offer that appeared to be legitimate and professional. The email provided information about an orientation date and time, which led me to believe that I had been offered a genuine employment opportunity from Delta Airlines. After receiving the offer, I was instructed to click on a link and submit a payment of $98. I was told that the payment would cover the background check, uniform, and any other required employment-related expenses. Because the email initially appeared authentic, I considered following the instructions. However, I decided to research the offer online before making any payment. During my search, I discovered information indicating that the email was fraudulent and that the job offer was likely a scam. I am reporting this incident to document the attempted employment scam and to help prevent others from becoming victims. The request for upfront payment raised serious concerns about the legitimacy of the offer. I want to ensure that the incident is properly documented and investigated

A hurricane hit Pensacola on October 7, 2026, and destroyed the roof and facility at Quality Inn and Suites Bayview in Pensacola, Florida, but I had no idea the hotel was destroyed. A friend needed a room to stay in on October 11, 2026 - October 12, 2026. When I phoned the hotel I was automatically connected to ReservationDesk.com. The man who answered the phone was more than happy to book a room and take my credit card information and emailed a confirmation. When my friend arrived at the hotel, he could see the tremendous damage that was done. I immediately contacted the hotel only to be put on hold for extended periods of time and be told a cancellation could not be done. My credit card was run and the charges processed. They have since tried to run my card twice. Fortunately, I quickly realized this was a scam and cancelled my credit card.

Phishing - Aetna healthcare - Imposter

On Friday afternoon I was on a phone call. I was expecting a call from my auto insurance company. I saw a phone call coming in from an Illinois exchange and I thought that it my auto insurance company. Instead it seemed that it was coming from my healthcare provider Aetna. The person I talked to informed me that it was time for my yearly review which Aetna has done in the past around this time of the year. She asked me a few general questions about my policy like "Does your policy cover both Medicare parts A and B?". Then she said that she was going to transfer me to a person who would help schedule me for the review. I was then put in touch with a man with a heavy foreign accent who said that he would connect me to "a certified insurance agent to conduct the review." I objected and said that I didn't have time for this right that moment but he said that it wouldn't take too long and he put me on hold. During the hold I realized that I wasn't sure the initial contact person had actually said Aetna to me. I smelled scam and I hung up. Within a few moments I got another phone call that I didn't recognize and then another in a few minutes Ever since then I have been bombarded by phone calls from unrecognizable numbers. At first I thought that they would stop but they haven't. In fact they seemed to be increasing in frequency. I've received about 17 since 9:30 am today. A number of them are marked spam risk. Most seem to be from the 216 area code. This seems to becoming harassment. I just want to make them stop!

I ordered two pairs of orthopedic shoes, the same just different colors. I kept writing to them because it was taking a long time to ship. They kept telling me that they had been shipped but they had trouble with the shipper and could not provide me with a tracking number. I wrote again, same response, and again, same response. After six weeks, they finally sent me a tracking number that they were shipped that day from China. They advertised they were an American company and that the shoes were American made. All of it was a lie. When they finally arrived (from China), two months after I ordered them, they do not fit. They are too small. And, they are not orthopedic. I contacted them the day that they arrived. I had to take pictures of the soles to show that they had not been worn, top and bottoms and the package they were shipped in. I did all that and the response was that they offered me a 75% store credit and I could keep the shoes. The shoes do not fit and most likely none of their shoes would fit. I asked for a full refund like their policy states. But, now they said that they need to be returned to China at my expense and it would be easier for me to just keep them and take their offer. They kept saying how expensive the shipping would be at my expense. They were right, shipping to China is very expensive. So, I wrote to the company asking why they specifically told me that the shoes were not made in China but possibly some parts may have been purchased from China. Just more lies. I have asked twice now for the return address and I still have not received it. They say if the product isn't wearable, you could keep them and they would give you a refund, if the cost was under $40. But, they don't sell anything under $40. All this company did was take my money and give me a lot of frustration and time. I now doubt that I will ever see that refund. So, I am left with nothing for my $89.95 and the high cost of returning them to China or keeping shoes that don't fit.

The website claims that the store is located in San Francisco, that consumers can track their order, and that they offer refunds & a 30 day guarantee. Every single one of those is false. The item took 3 weeks to be received, I thought the shop was located in the US and that I would be able to track the purchase, it took three weeks, I missed being able to wear it to the event. I ordered it for, I had to purchase something else, and the tracking never worked, it was a fake tracking system, and said that the item was in Idaho for almost 2 weeks at a shipping center. I emailed them and asked about why it is stuck in one location so long, they gave some canned vague response, and then the item came from China. But it came after my event so I asked to initiate a return. They asked all these ridiculous questions, and asked me to send a picture of the item with the size tag, plus measurements of the item, plus a picture of me in the item. I sent a picture of the item with a size tag, and have not heard back for over a week. I asked for them to tell me where to send it, and to have confirmation that I could return it, they didn’t respond to that, and I’ve since emailed them three times in the past week and they are ghosting me. I googled them yesterday, and apparently this is common business practices for them, they are super shady. I called my credit card company and very thankfully, Visa has refunded the fraud, and I got my $70 back. I hope this place gets shut down.
