BBB Scam Tracker

Saw an ad on TilTok near Christmas for cheap Hey Dudes shoes and clothing. Initially thought it was legit and then made a purchase. It took forever to get any tracking details and then all of a sudden it says delivered. So I emailed them and told them it wasn’t and I mentioned I felt it was a scam. They said no and resent the products. Again got a tracking number (a lot quicker this time) and then after a couple of weeks shows delivered. So I emailed them again and expressed my concerns. They originally wanted to give me 70% refund but I called them out and I am supposed to get 100% refund but I’ll believe it when I see it. I have all the emails from them still. .

Met person on Instagram which moved to WhatsApp. Against my better judgment, I decided to follow the person's advice. Attempted to withdraw money (USDT) but Website rejected attempted withdrawal.

Purchased online home decor in Jan 2026 and never received it or received tracking info. Emailed in mid Feb and was told to expect the delivery in 3-5 days. It has been more almost 3 weeks.

Purchased a total of nine items via TikTok link using card payment a month later shipping stated delivered, but nothing was delivered. Attempted to request for a re-shipment of same items. Received another check waited for another 23 weeks nothing received. Overall, the total of two months now I have to wait another month for the refund.

I was contacted via Messenger by a person who called themselves Mary mo li stating I was randomly chosen to win $50k. I was asked to send a $100 gift card, & the package will be delivered to my residence. After I paid the $100 Gift card, this Mary mo li person then said that since my payment was delayed, I needed to send another $200. I told this person that i knew this was too good to be true. This person was insistent on me sending the extra $200 for the package to be delivered. I refused to send any additional money. This person even sent pictures of others with boxes in their hands. Theyve also sent a picture of a black male Fedex worker who will be delivering the box of cash. They wanted me to give my phone numbet to *****instead of Messenger. didnt give my info on****, but I did give my adress & phone numbet on Messenget. Ive deleted the info after I sent it. I stopped communicating with this person afterwards. Im gonna send a report to social media as well. I do have the full conversations on my Messenger page.

I recently received an email from a ‘Thomas William’ claiming to represent Iyuno Global LTD for a voice over job from [email protected]. I did the job and now get this email : YOUR PROJECT HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED contact the payment manager now and say to him you were directed by me for your payment? https://Wa.me/+16833330309 I didn't click and reported the scam. Unfortunately, I've been working non stop for 72 hours and even paid a technician to help me. Thank you.

Fake job with a phone interview they sent me a fake gold bar to supposedly forward as a logistic job. I took it in. It was fake. I never contacted them again but they continue to contact saying they’re gonna call the police or whatever if I don’t correct the package and send it out anyways,

** ***** ******** ****** **** ***** * ***** **** ** ***** ***** ****** ** ********* *** *** *** ** ****** ** *** ****** ** ******* Around the end of January of this year, I began receiving texts from my lender of the car I recently purchased, August of 2025. I originally thought that these 986-67, texts, were spam, so I dismissed them. I then found, what I thought was a bill, addressed to me, with my address, in my actual mailbox. This “bill” had the photo, of the same make and model of my car; a Kia, Sorento. Also, when I saw the mail, I’m embarrassed to say that without really studying it, it really made me think that I was late in taking care of business with my car, this is the first time I ever bought a car. I thought that I had been dismissing an extra payment, all along. I called the number on  the “bill”, associating it with the previously dismissed texts from my car lender :  Action required. We’re switching loan payment providers. Please cancel your current recurring payment & set up a new one to avoid missed payments: link provided.. . The telephone number that I called to make a late payment to, is 1-844-763-0130 The texts were legitimate, the “bill”, mailed to me was not. I thought said, “bill”,  was associated with the DMV because it had a barcode on the front. The telephone number that I called to make a late payment to, is 1-844-763-0130, this number was provided in the “bill”.  When I called, the guy said his name was Landon and when I explained I was late, Landon told me that these payments were separate from my car payment the entire time and he said that he could fix it and make things right now by starting to make payments on it. I was still confused but I figured that I just didn’t quite remember everything from that day, that I bought the car. I tried to make the payment of 199.00. I got a notification on my phone from Wells Fargo email, that my card was declined. I was still on the phone with Landon, and he told me the payment declined, as well, so I asked him if I could call him back so I could try to pay it some other time. He then got angry and raised his voice and asked, “you don’t have the money at all?” and said, “How are you even driving that car!?” and he said he was going to try to give me break and if I didn’t send the 199.00 within two hours, otherwise I have violated the contract and he would have to report it and they would have to repossess my car.  I got really scared and I actually believed that it was really going to happen because I didn’t know if I could get the money from my dad. I called my dad to ask for the money and I’d pay him back. My dad sent me 200.00 right away.  I called them back and gave them the payment of 199.00. I told them it was a Visa, debit card number, and VIM. Landon said he was going to send me information and future payment arrangements and I agreed and that was that, I was relieved to catch a break in time. Then I started really thinking about it, when I was calm, on Saturday. So, I made the payment on the 5th of March 2026, and began rethinking it on the following Saturday, March 7th, 2026. So, Saturday, I took the mailer to my auto dealer and asked why they didn’t tell me about this before. The guy at the dealership, where I bought the car, took a look at the “bill” I received in the mail, and already paid, he and told me it was a scam. I went into the Wells Fargo ****** ** ******** *** ***** ** *** ****** ******** *** * ******** ** ***** * ****** *** ***** ************ They cancelled my card and said a new card is on the way. I called customer service for Wells Fargo, and told them everything. I asked for a supervisor and when I spoke with her, *** **** *** *****. She said that it would be okay, because I was clearly, coerced. She said that they manipulated me into paying using anger and threats, which is something that a real company would not do.  She also told me to gather as much information as possible to prevent this from happening other people and make a police report.  So, I couldn’t do anything, because everything was closed. I had to work over the weekend anyway. My family and I started getting all the information photocopied at the library on Monday, we missed work and lost a lot of money and had to pay for all the copies, and with all the notes on the documents I really hope that you can somehow catch these guys. We made notes, on all the documents showing the texts, dates, numbers, the bill, the number we called on the bill, (which when we called it again, it doesn’t even work). We made copies directly from my bank account at Wells Fargo and took photos showing the today’s date of March 10, 2026. We photocopied the paper the branch manager gave me, after I had to get a new debit card. The color copied report of sale, from the auto dealer, when I bought the car. When I looked at the Better Business Bureau website, they want me to upload my documents, so I took photos of the notes on the documents. The same information that is going to the BBB, is going to the police report and will given to Wells Fargo as well. Thank you for your help, ***** ***** *** ********** **** **** ***** ****** *** * ** ***** ******** ** ***** ***** * ******************** ***** **** ******** ***** ****** ******* ** * ** ******* ***** ***** **** * *** *** **** ******* ****** * **** ***** **** ****** **** ** **** ********* ** ******* * **** **** ****** *** ****

I received multiple text messages from different phone numbers from "Chris with Signal Surveys" with a link to the supposed survey site. I did not interact with these messages but from my research and the fact they were oit of the blue, I'm pretty sure it is a phishing scam.

A CHARGE SHOWED UP ON MY CHARGE CARD. I DID NOT APPROVE THIS. IT STATES *HTL DSCNT

Receiving 6 of these calls per day it seems like, even on Sundays. I try to convince them to send me an email, it never works. They tell me they will but then they never do. Trying to get company details to pass onto FTC.

After looking at reviews from other experiences, I realized this was a scam and now I’m worried because I provided alot of my personal information!!!

Stated owed taxes

I was at a Chipotle in Albuquerque, NM. The Parker Project had a table set up right next to the entrance of the restaurant. Two young females were asking for donations via QR code from customers. They said the donations go to help families who have kids with cancer pay bills. I am a cancer survivor. I was approched by the Parker Project at a different location while I was bald from chemotherapy treatments in 2024. I did reasearch on the Parker Project in 2024, it's a scam. The girls at the Chipotle told me Parker, the group's namesake, died from adrenal carcinoma (which they couldn't pronounce). I asked tthem what kind of cancer that is. They said it's kidney cancer. Adrenal carcinoma is cancer of the adrenal glands, usually found in middle age adults, not kids Parker's age. Their IRS document says they are based out of an APARTMENT in Phoenix, AZ. The ladies at the table said they work for Prosperous Management, a marketing company based in Albuquerque, NM that was hired by the Parker Project to raise money. They did not have a city permit with them. The girls called their manager. The manager said the city permit was at the company's headquarters. The manager also did not know what adrenal carcinoma is. Chipotle said the Parker Project had the location's general manager's permission to be there. I will not frequent any business that allows the Parker Project to set up shop on their property. Cancer patients are the target of every scam in the book.

Multiple, persistent texts over the last few months from what appeared to be a legitimate debt collector. Phone number amd website looked fishy. Indicated that the debt was for an AT&T account. Did not click on links.

This "publishing" group actually did a lot of really great work: editing, cover, publishing, trailer, social media. Unfortunately, they said we would make more money selling books from our website. They were just about to go live with that when they disappeared. No communication. Phone numbers so longer existed. Emails gone. They also locked me out of my book website. So dissapointing.

Caller claimed to be from "the loan department" (did not mention from which financial institution) and was calling about my loan (I have not applied for any loans); caller asked me to return their call at 866-959-1689.

Purchased 3 t shirts. Company claimed they were unable to deliver and only offered a partial refund even though delivery insurance was offered and purchased.

They had a really cute website with a picture of all kinds of people going through piles of things and supposedly getting really good deals on merchandise the site it was headed natural life, and having all kinds of Boho merchandise

Made an online purchase from a Facebook ad regarding Klyra's luxury bags on Jan. 1, 2026. Purchased 2 bags and my order qualified for a "free gift" total for initial purchase was $35.00. It is now Mar. 13, 2026, and NO bags. I've received an email regarding order updates, click on the button and it takes you to a mail tracking website in China. Enter in the tracking # and no information. Today I checked on my bank app to get a screen shot of the initial payment and that is where I saw 3 separate charges for $39.99 (Jan. 8, Feb. 7 and Mar. 9, 2026). I will try my best to dispute the charges with my financial institution. Reached out to the company via email "[email protected]" requesting a refund of no product received since Jan 1, 2026. Still awaiting a response.

Received this text message from a “Carolyn Pierre” for a position I never applied for. The company is only listed in Australia and doesn’t have any reviews or employee info on their website.; Hello Ariel, I just sent you an email about Data Entry position. Please check your inbox for the next steps. Carolyn

this company ships defective products - first they sent me the wrong size coat (ordered one large and one extra large) they sent me 3x large and 4x large - My husband tried to put it on and realized the sleeve was extra small and his forearm didnt even go in. The company refuses to pay refund unless i ship this defective and wrong size product that they sent me.

2 x Michael Phelps & H2X Trainer Swim Spas-Eco Pur Charge Filter Set-X268549-PMA-R4-X268532-PMA-EPR-X268542-PWW50P3 $ 189.99 Original price was: $ 189.99.$ 47.50Current price is: $ 47.50 x 2 = $95.00 When I entered the credit card information, I got a message that that card had reached it's limit for the day. Enter another credit card. Well that card had not been used this week, so I backed out my order information attempted to contact them. The only contact info was this man's gmail account. When I did a search on this account, It showed up on the BBB Scam site for a furniture company.

I subscribed to VettaPet/Puppylab for their Turkeytail + Probiotics formula and received tracking number for the first shipment. I never received the shipment, yet it was marked as delivered. Because it was coming from Hong Kong I assumed it would take a while. It never arrived. This same process went on for 4 shipments. I wrote the company and they stated the first 2 had been delivered and the last 2 were still in the shipping system. After letting the online agent know I had never received any of them he proceeded to write a very unprofessional and accusatory note to me accusing me of stealing. My reply was if the orders show up, I will gladly pay for them, but they have not. I made it clear I am not looking for anything free and had disputed the charge with my bank. I offered to pay them if the bank refunds hold and are not reversed. See email below: Wow, that’s quite a story. Here’s the thing and let's get this straight—two of your orders were already delivered to your address, and your bank has refunded you for those. So, congrats! You technically already got your money back and, by extension, the products too. Enjoy those jars. As for the other two orders that are still in transit, they’re on their way. You can keep an eye on them here: • Order #21289 – https://vettapet.com/apps/parcelpanel?nums=VR860391359YP • Order #25157 – https://vettapet.com/apps/parcelpanel?nums=HUA003587716YQ So, while it’s fun to accuse companies of scams, in this case, the tracking for the delivered jars don’t lie, and the rest are still moving through the system. Sit back, track your shipments, and when they arrive, enjoy them—no mystery there. You're already refunded for your orders because of the chargeback claims with your bank. Warm regards, Sarah Customer Support @ VettaPet (formerly PuppyLabCo)

After canceling all services, TuneCore continued to withdraw funds from my bank account. I reported the issues to the bank and they returned my money. The following month, TuneCore withdrew more money, and I filled another claim with my bank and got my funds returned. After 1 year passed without incident, I received an email of a purchase receipt for services I did not purchase. It is, and has been, nearly impossible to contact them to resolve any problems that arise. The support link they provided is convoluted and designed not to direct issues towards customer service.

Click bait for sure . Facebook advertising for a juicer . Bought 2 . Tracking has been stuck in Spain . No one responding to support emails .

I paid $0.99 for FaxlyApp.com to send a fax. I got an email saying it was delivered successfully, but I called the recipient they said they never received it. Two days later, the company charged me $19.95 for a monthly subscription that I never signed up for or authorized. I emailed them asking for a refund, but they never responded. I want a refund for the $19.95 and for the BBB to review this company for misleading and unauthorized charges.

This person contacted me on Pinterest pretending to be a romantic interest. We talked via Whatsapp a lot. For his birthday I sent him a gift card. He gave me his banking details and asked me to transfer money to myself. I refused. He didn't pry, but I looked through the information. There were only recent transactions and the deposit was from Mark Zugerberg. I immediately knew something was wrong. I made an excuse to get off the phone and blocked him everywhere I could. This person has no social media presence. You can't even find the name on Google. I was suspicious and so glad I followed my intuition.

Called California Garage Door Repair @ 858-585-4182. Technician came out. Verbally quoted me $600/spring plus service call. He performed the work, then wrote out an invoice for $1237.00/spring plus service call and tax totaling $2941.00. I questioned the charge, was told emphatically that he said it was $1200 apiece. I paid because the work was done, I was alone and uncomfortable arguing with him. He used 3 different company invoices, none of them with addresses or CSLB licenses, which made it impossible to dispute the charges with the company.

A letter informing me of a alleged data breach from my "current or former health plan" with an offer to provide 12 (not the standard 24) month identity monitoring through Epiq Privacy Solutions. The enrollment requires an activation code provided from the letter plus my SSN. This seems very generic and fishy.

I ordered some flowers for a party I was having on Saturday on the website and let you pick available dates and Saturday was available. I then picked that date. Flowers never arrived. They did charge me though. I emailed for three days asking for refund.They refuse to issue a refund.

This person calls me several times a day, from all different numbers and leaves a message: Hi, this is Fiona, calling about your loan approval.

They indicated money was owed by me to a credit card company and they were mediators hired to file suit and make a claim against our property.
