Ordered flowers and they weren't delivered. Called them and they said they would be delivered later that day or the next. They were never delivered. Called back again and they won't issue a refund. This appears to be a common complaint. I also couldn't find a physical address for them

It started with a Facebook post detailing a long story of how this person "Donna Bill" on Facebook found a small company that makes only 200 sets of pure linen sheets at a time - then there's the link that takes you to buy the sheets. The information is found on Facebook by searching "oeko tex sheets roskia". The entire post has been removed from "Donna Bill's" facebook page as it seems to be a fake profile I've already reported to Facebook.
The link to the website showed there were less than 50 sheet sets available in the batch - https://roskia.com/products/oeko-tex%C2%AE-100-natural-linen-bedset.
I ordered 2 queen sets - one in grey and one in rust colour. It was cheaper per set to buy 2 sets. I checked out and paid through Shopify but I did not get an email confirmation or receipt for the order by email. This worried me at first but a few days later I got an email saying they were working on my order and would keep me updated on shipping and delivery times. When I finally did get the package I realized it came from China. It was poorly packed in a plastic bag with a few rips and tears that were re-taped probably through customs. The sheets themselves were packed in ziplock bags labeled "QUEN" - I'm guessing for "queen" size. The "rust" colour is a butter yellow, not like the colour shown online. I contacted the company about this first and received no response. The grey set has white thread stitching throughout. after removing the sheets from the ziploc bags and having a close look and feel that's when I realized they are not as advertised at all. Basically the quality of the sheets is like a Walmart polyester blend sheet set and not even close to %100 linen. There are no manufacturing tags anywhere on any of the sheets to show their composition, care and where they were made. The Oeko-Tex® 100% Natural Linen Bedset advertised on the website shows an "r" registered trademark for Oeko-Tex. How can the use that to describe the sheets and not have any labels to prove it?
I feel I've been totally scammed into spending $284.75 Canadian dollars for fake linen sheets. Also the prices shown are misleading as they are in US dollars but you don't know this until after you checkout and pay and it's too late to cancel. I've contacted then for a return/refund but looking into reviews online they make it almost impossible to do that with high return shipping costs and not knowing if they even receive returns resulting in no refunds. I'm completely skeptical at this point that I would even get a response from them.
I know I fell for their false marketing and advertising, I saw enough good but probably fake reviews and didn't do a deep enough dive online. I hope this report can result in something to prevent others from ordering fake linen sheets for hundreds of dollars!

I am receiving now daily calls from different phone numbers with messages being left by “Mike Mayer”. The callback number is the same but calls come from various numbers. This appears to be related to the Helen Hopkins lending scam I reported earlier in the week. Same type of message and almost identical callback number. Lending scam. I did not apply for lending and have not requested contact from such parties. I have attached a screenshot of a voicemail transcript from the call received today but have an additional screenshot from another call as well. The phone numbers he called from are (701) 990-9412 and (540) 413-2171. Thank you.

Fake Check/Money Order - Phishing Scam - FBI Impostor
Hello, dear fund owner. I am Christopher G. Raia, the newly appointed
Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), USA. The
Debt Reconciliation Compensation Funds for the year 2026 were recently
discussed in an interagency collaboration meeting with President Donald
Trump, FBI Director Kash Patel, ICE Director Todd Lyons, and U.S.
Secretary of State, Mr. Marco Rubio. This is to inform you that your email
has been included to receive compensation funds totaling $13.5 million,
which will be delivered to you via a Global Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
Visa card and a secure consignment box.
This compensation has been approved by the Trump administration for
individuals affected by fraud perpetrated by the illegal aliens from
Somalia and Cuba, who were captured and investigated by Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the massive deportation operation in the
first year of President Trump’s term in office.
During the investigation, ICE confirmed that these illegal aliens were
engaged in fraudulent activities, drug trafficking, and extortion against
innocent individuals in the USA. If you’re a fraud victim and you
receive this email, please follow the instructions below. But, if you are
not a fraud victim and you received this email, then your email address
was randomly selected among the lucky fifteen beneficiaries chosen to
receive these compensation inheritance funds from the fraud money
recovered by ICE. This decision was made by the Interagency Board of
Committee following a random email draw that was conducted after the
interagency collaboration meeting at the White House.
The consignment box contains a cash sum of $10,000,000, while the ATM card
has a balance of $3,500,000, bringing the total amount to $13.5 million,
all sealed and ready for delivery to your designated address. To proceed,
kindly Reconfirm the required information by emailing it to the appointed
FBI special agent, Mr. Jordan Scott who is in charge of the delivery to
your designated address ([email protected])
.Full Name:
.DOB: Date of birth
.Gender:
.Occupation Or If Retired:
.Phone Number:
.Home Address:
Nearest Airport:
. Driver's License or any government-issued ID, along with a separate
photo or selfie holding your ID to ensure that both images clearly
identify the same person to whom the assistant deputy director will be
delivering the funds. This is very important for the safety of your funds,
ensuring they are not delivered to the wrong person. Below are the contact
details of the assigned FBI diplomatic delivery agent:
Name: Mr. Jordan Scott, Representative of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, FBI California, USA.
Email ([email protected])
Agent Security Number: 0115
For proper clarification, please make sure to include the Agent Security
Number 0115 and the compensation amount along with Deputy Director
Christopher G. Raia in your email subject line.
Phone/Text Number: +1 (213) 986-3360 Text only.
Once Mr. Jordan Scott receives this information and the Assistant United
States Attorney (AUSA) clearance fee, he will proceed with the delivery of
your inheritance funds of $13,500,000 to your designated address, with an
estimated time period of 48 hours. The only fee you will need to pay is
$595.00 to the office of the Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) for
the fund release certificate of clearance for your inheritance funds. This
certificate must be obtained using the information you provided and then
signed by the AUSA department, which will indicate that the inheritance
funds have been fully claimed and are ready for delivery. Mr. Jordan Scott
will guide you on how to proceed with the payment once you contact him
with the required information mentioned above.
I would like to reassure you of the 100% legitimacy of these funds, as we
will not be involved in any fraudulent act and will never be. Thank you in
advance for your cooperation. Christopher G. Raia FBI Deputy Director.

I ordered one tube of toothpaste. They had a sale on for $22. They charged me for that and then about a week later they charged me around $55. I was using order tracking, they said the product was delivered…..it was not. I found out they had me on an order autopay subscription, which I wasn’t aware of when I ordered. I sent an email to them asking for the subscription to be cancelled, I never heard back from their customer service, but three days later another auto payment went through, this time for over $80. I am beyond pissed. I email them again asking for the subscription and Oder to be canceled and reversed the charges sent to my credit card for the last automatic order. (Again did not hear back). Finally found a link on their website to manage subscriptions where I was able to cancel the subscription. Only time will tell if it actually worked or if I’ll get my money back.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Online Hotel Booking Scam
I called the number on the website that I believed was the number for the Hampton Inn. An AI voice bot took all my information (Clue: She reeled off long bits of policy without pausing to listen well for an answer as a normal person would). Clues she wasn't legit: Didn't take AAA. Didn't allow for cancellation a few days before--had to do a full night's deposit, etc. I asked if at the beginning she was from Hampton Inn and she said yes, she was from reservations. I asked if she was AI & she protested that she was a real person. When I tried to cancel the reservation, the first person said they didn't have it. The second one hung up on me. And the 3rd one said she'd try to cancel it after I told her I was reporting the company to you. However, the receipt (which showed my purchase in Russian rubles) indicated that I'd still be responsible for paying for a full night. After I realized I'd been scammed, I canceled my credit card and will challenge the charges.
The number I called for help was the one listed as such on the website (very misleading):

The company referenced permitting as an issue. 2 days before the March 2026 date, the event was rescheduled again for September 2026. When the March reschedule occurred, I started pursuing a refund. The company asked me to fill out a form which I sent in on March 4, 2026. Since then, I've e-mailed and received responses about 5-6 times with customer service saying "we're looking into my issue"; "we're escalating your issue to the refund team", etc. I'm now working with my bank's investigative division to recoup my funds. This company is still advertising future events, not just in Baltimore but all over the country. this is a scam and they are taking everyone's money.

I was then told to send the cash back to Caleb Coffman located at 3504 88th ave SE apt. 329, Mercer Island, WA 98040. On the fifth day, the bank told me that the check was no good and removed $4700 from my account. I was sent another check to cover the money that was lost from my account. However, this check to bounced after six days. Further request to get my money back, have fallen on deaf ears. They want me to open an account at PNC Bank, and give them access to it so they can simply make a transfer of money. Which I won’t do I won’t give anyone access to my checking account.

I was on facebook and a site showing beautiful quality clothing caught my eye. I looked through a few times and decided to buy 2 tops in a size small. One was a button front denim shirt that had a few colors and embroidery on it. The other one was a denim v-neck with buttons on top and cap sleeves and an ivory/ floral print on the bottom and below the denim cap on the sleeve. They took a long time to come. When I opened them they were both size Large and only printed (of what they were supposed to look like) on cheap polyester material ! - no label in the clothes of course, and a fast crappy sewing job. I've never been scammed before. I will never buy anything off of a site like that again. Buyer beware! Dissapointed there are shit people out there so willing to scam instead of working real jobs like most people. I tried to go back and see how I could return these items but found there is no recourse on the site. Then I looked further and found the name USEEMALL Conyngham Rd. Manchester,England.

Phishing - Phishing - Loan Solicitation Scam
I am reporting a deceptive robocall/phishing scam targeting consumers with fake personal loan offers. The scam originates from spoofed local numbers, but the automated AI-generated voicemail instructs victims to call back the toll-free number 888-310-4836 (or the related number 877-578-1953).
The voicemail transcript typically states: “ This should be a straightforward process. And in many cases, like yours, we can have funds available within just a few days once everything is finalized. I've built strong relationships with both Prime and Subprime lenders over the years, and that allows to work through approvals a bit differently and often secure more flexible terms when needed. We also don't need any collateral for this, so the funds can be used for anything you have planned. Rates are starting to move up slightly but we can still lock in a lower 5.75% option right now. Press one now or reach me at 877-578-1953. Helen Hopkins here, based on what I'm seeing, this personal loan should be a straightforward process, and in many cases like yours, we can have funds available within just a few days. For example, if you're looking at borrowing around $25,000 at approximately 5.75%. Your payment could be about $458 per month. We can also adjust the structure to better fit your budget. When you have a moment, please call me back at 888-310-4836 again, 888-310-4836 and I'll go ahead and walk you through everything.”

A loan made in my name without my permission by an ex that I eventually paid off with the last payment made in 2017 with a 75 dollar payment. Since I was 2.5 hours away at a work event on a Saturday and unable to get to post office, she told me to the office first thing Monday morning. When told her I have meetings and won’t be free until the afternoon, she gave me her extension.
I said I have no problem paying debt that I owe, but I am out of town and will not do anything until I have the letter they sent. Monday morning the calls started at 7:46 am . Each one more aggressive than the last with a very stern man lecturing me about how I was to call the office and upon failure to do so they would be moving forward with court proceedings.
I live in Pennsylvania. Legally debt is time-barred from court proceedings four years from date of last payment. This debts statue expired in 2021.
I’m just trying to fix my credit, man. I start gaining traction and then boom 47 calls in 3 hours about 17 lawsuits from companies I’ve never heard of.
If I’ve learned anything this week: if you receive a letter, a call, email or text that a judgement has been entered against you- do NOT CALL THE NUMBER, do not click the link, do not email or respond. Screenshot it. Save it. And Google- search “Civil court records ‘your county’ free”
If you’re not listed on there in the time span of at least 7 years— THERE IS NO JUDGEMENT.

Online Purchase
As soon as order was placed, received text message asking for PayPal, Apple Pay or Zelle. After paying for the product I got an email asking that I get a confirmation of payment. Next thing I knew, a fake shipping company was trying to get more money for “shipping insurance”. No phone number. Poor response

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam
Found website via link on Facebook. Site claimed to sell goods produced in USA and donations from each item purchased would be made to animal shelters assisting victims of the California wildfires. This drew my interest and I ordered 3 cat themed garments based on photos posted on the site and corresponding descriptions. The amount listed on my invoice was $105.00 but my credit card was charged a different amount by a different company name operating under Bluhorizons. It took almost a month for items to be delivered and tracking info which I checked often indicated that the items were coming from Ireland, not the US.. Customs info stated the shipment was received in Chicago from China. The items were all poorly made, did not match the images on line, and were all not to size. Customer service contact phone number led to a recorded message to send an email to their customer support department at [email protected]. I sent 4 messages but never received any reply. I have filed 2 disputes with my credit card company so far but because the seller sent them proof that the order has been fulfilled, they are still charging me for the purchase. I have notified them now of the fraudulent nature of this company and re-opened another dispute. Do not deal with this company!
