Received an unsolicited text on Oct 27, 2026 from (213) 476-0306: "Hi, it's Bill. Following up on your financing request. If you're still interested, send your email and I'll pass along the latest rates and terms today!" I never made any financing request and do not know the sender. My phone filtered it as spam. This looks like a phishing / lead-harvesting text meant to get my email address or start a loan scam. I did not respond, pay anything, or share any information.

Call from Anne with resolve on behalf of EZ MONEY, reports a payday loan that was labeled as defaulted in 2019, but couldn’t give me any information on when the loan was initiated. Provided me contact information for an employer and address that I haven’t lived at in almost 15 years. Stated that they are a mediator company, not a debt collector, and that they are preparing to litigate this situation. Reports the loan amount was $550, was offering me a one time pay off fee of $600, a 6 month installment nearing $850 but stated that over the years and with fees and such, the current balance was $1700.00. I requested the information to be sent to my current address which they did verify to me, but stated that she couldn’t send me any paperwork for this account. I also inquired about the statute of limitations on a debt exceeding 7 years (since default, no telling how old the original debt account was created) and she told me that there is no such limitations on these types of loans.

We ordered a "textured knit button front top and wide leg pant set" in 2XL on 09-27-2026. We received a 100% polyester three button collard jacket and pant set marked 2XL on the packaging but it contained an XXL set. The product received on 10-22-2026 was not what we ordered. We notified the company of this error and requested a full refund on 10-22, 10-23, 10-24, 10-26, 10-27, 10-28 and 10-29. The company on each date offered us varying refunds / store credits starting at 15% of our initial outlay and in its last communication dated 11-3 offered a 40% cash refund or 30% store credit. Throughout this process, the company offered varying explanations beginning with a warehouse staff error, product being out of stock, return address in China being too substantial to warrant a return and finally indicating a financial hardship that presumably justifies keeping a major portion of our outlay. We expect nothing less than a full refund !

I ordered products from the https://mindbarchocolates.com/ website and included an extra payment for overnight shipping, which totaled: $109.99. The transaction asked if using Zelle, instructions would be given after the order was placed. I received a text from 213-801-7482 with information on who to send the Zelle payment to. The phone number given was 872-308-0686 which is listed as named, Alysa Frye. This seemed suspicious but it seems like a small company so I proceeded. After processing the payment through Zelle, I received another text from 213-801-7482 saying the payment was received and shipping details would be emailed soon. I also received confirmation emails. After 3 days I received no packages or shipping details. I texted 213-801-7482 with no reply and emailed with no replies. I used the online chat feature on the contact page (https://mindbarchocolates.com/contact-us/) and chatted with what seemed like a real person, who asked for my order number and said I would receive an email on shipping details in about an hour, this never came. I asked for a refund on my one day shipping charge, then the chat never replied. I opened up another window and chat session, asking status on my order and received a similar response - will send an email. I said I was already told this and then the chat never responded. I asked if this was a scam, also to no response. So, this indeed is a fraudulent organization.

Online Purchase - Northend

I purchased shoes from an online company called Northend. The next day, they issued an order confirmation email indicating the shipment would be through USPS, insured. However, the subsequent email I received stating that my shipment was on its way provided tracking information through a Chinese carrier, YunExpress. When I checked the tracking number they provided, I discovered my order had been canceled the day after they billed my credit card - though the tracking information continued to display the shipment as "in transit." I emailed the company, concerned my order had been canceled on their end, but also listed as in transit. Their automated reply was that the shoes were in transit. After the shoes failed to arrive, I reached out again and asked Northend for a refund. They replied that I needed to send them photos of the shoes to prove they had not been worn. I answered that I could not send photos of merchandise that had never been delivered and again requested a refund. They never responded and I still do not have the shoes. I ended up filing a merchandise-not-received billing dispute to recover my money.

However national claims processing center keeps contacting me a Robert Lopez who says I owe money for the zoca loan.

She informed me that multiple people are complaining about a Robert Lopez from national claims processing center. Shanna assured me I have been making all my payments on time and there is no reason you should be harassed. She called the number herself her phone warned her about it being a scammer.

I was searching online for a English Cocker Spaniel breeder. I came across a website and contacted them about a puppy they have listed. I exchanged emails and signed a contract, then paid a $300 deposit. We arranged a pick up date, time, and place. It was an 8+ hour drive from where we live. About 5 days before our trip the breeder asked for more money to process AKC paperwork and transfer of ownership. So after some conversation back and forth, I paid $200 more dollars to him. The day came for our trip and i texted him beforehand to make sure everything was set and good to go. He confirmed. We drove 8+ hours to Crescent City, CA for the puppy pick up. When we arrived at the agreed upon location, we arrived at an empty, for sale house. He text one more time with "let me call and see if anyone is home." And then when we called and texted him, he never replied. We spent $500 for a puppy that never existed from this breeder, plus spent close to $1k for travel, gas, hotels, and food. We thought this was an actual breeder due to his website and good communication, but we were scammed.

The last time I venomed money was to a Leslie Tucker. I kept sending more money and finally was going to secure the key to the place Saturday, October 31`, 2026. The guy canceled our meeting at the last minute. I was supposed to start moving in the next day. I showed up at the duplex the next day and there were people apparently living there. When I contacted the guy he stated that one had just been rented out. The number of that duplex was 46. He said he did have another one available on that same street Number 41. I said okay and went to find it only to discover there was no Number 41 anywhere. I contacted him again and told him this needed to be resolved or I wanted my money back. Of course he said they couldn't do that. I had been in contact with my mom. She looked up the person on Google and there was a Facebook option. She chose that and there it was right on the page. She tried later in the day to check it and the page was gone. This happened in Corbin, Ky. I ended up with my mom helping me get a hotel room to stay the night and figure things out the next day. I tried to contact different sheriff departments and Corbin Police and they all sent me to each other. It's complicated. I was staying in Knox County and Corbin happens to be in 2 different counties with this property being at the edge of a third county. After I got all my belongings I drove straight back to Missouri to my mom's house. I am a single mom with 2 kids and no child support. $2000 may not seem like much to many people, but it is a lot that I could not afford to lose.

Employment - NaviForge Freight

AVOID this company and their predatory practice. The "HR rep" will tell you they found you on Indeed.com (or another online employment job board you may have recently been on) and confirm your email and interest in employment via a phone call. They send you a link to send in a picture of your Driver's License to verify you are the person they are speaking to and once you accept employment, they will send you links to set up your dashboard to start tracking and sending packages after verifying contents expected for the shipping tracking number for that package. The "job" is for a Shipment Quality Controller-you receive packages, open the shipping box or envelope, take a picture of the contents, compare to the expected freight on your dashboard for that shipping number and they send a UPS, FedEx, or USPS pre-paid label and you send out the package, send in a picture of the shipping receipt and record that item as sent out. They claim to pay a base rate of $4300.00 after 30 days of doing this job. They offer extra incentives to travel and pick up packages from local shipping stations such as FedEx in a Walgreen's. If you require proof of permission to pick up a package like this, they will email you a picture of a "government issued ID with the customer's name and statement that you are authorized to pick up their package". There will be a variety of Supervisors and Shipping Managers that will maintain contact with you via phone or email to ensure the packages are sent out on time or "address" any issues/questions you may have. Turns out it's a front for stolen merchandise to be moved through a 3rd party: you. They do send out a W4 form and a form to set up direct deposit & expect you to turn it in to receive a paycheck. The first package you will receive is a gold coin worth $4500-this is the "test package" to see if you can follow their directions. After that is shipped out, they will start to send you a wide variety of high priced items: cameras, laptops, Dyson products, jewelry, electronics, high value GPS watches, Apple iPhones, etc. to ship out. Once the police get involved, and they will because turns out people don't like their stolen credit cards used to purchase high value items, and your supervisors are made aware of it, the packages stop coming, your dashboard is shutdown and all communications stop. Conveniently, before any pay out to you.
