I was sent a text message from the number 417-373-9556 that said "We're contacting you about your health policy with an outstanding balance. Call your agent at 888-756-1846 to review your details. Reply STOP to end" When I called the number provided and explained the text I had received, the woman on the other end of the line asked "are you over 65?" which was an odd thing to ask off the bat. There was background noise that sounded as though maybe there was a dog in the area. She did not identify herself or the company she was calling on behalf of. She did not know my name (companies attempting to collect debt typically address you by name and confirm they are speaking to the right person). She asked for my name, and when I told her I was not comfortable identifying myself to someone who had not identified themselves, she immediately took an attitude, said "what would anyone even do with your name anyway?" and hung up.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Polar Fresh

My husband and I attended the America's Reptile Expo at Rogue X on Saturday, October 10, 2026. We saw the free raffle table where you could enter to win a Yeti Cooler or a air purifier from Polar Fresh. We both submitted a ticket with name and phone number. We were informed that we would receive a phone call and didn't need to be present to win. Harmless enough we thought. A few days later, on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, I received a phone call from 541-837-6994. I didn't recognize it so I let it go to voicemail. There was no voicemail left, instead, I got a text message "Hi Lindsay, this is Chelsea with Polar Fresh! We were reaching out because you signed up for a free water based air purifier at the reptile show this weekend and your family was one of the lucky ones chosen to receive it! Call or text us back so we can set up a time to get that to you! :)" OH cool I thought, so I called back right away and got a "Hello?". I said "Hi Chelsea?" and she said "No, this is Lisa. Chelsea is on the other line." The first flag was the urgency of the text and the exclamation marks. The second flag was if this was a company line, why not answer the phone as such "Hello, this is Polar Fresh"? I talk to Lisa and she asked general questions about how we came across the event, chatted about being from Southern California, how me and my husband met, etc. And then I learn I need an appointment for my air purifier for the set up, but they're going to show us a larger unit to get our opinions first and the smaller unit (worth $150) would be a thank you for our time. Later I would have the thought "it was a free raffle, not a 'win a free sales pitch and then you get your prize.'" They called in the middle of the work day where my attention was split, followed up with a text message and I felt rushed into providing my information and setting up and appointment for Monday, October 19th. I let my husband know, but then I decided to do my research and came across the first scam report on BBB. Granted, Polar Fresh called a few days later, and the appointment was set up pretty quickly, but I didn't want to have them in my house potentially pushing recommendations or analyzing the air quality of my house only for me to purchase something I didn't need. I will have my husband call them back and cancel that appointment because this is no longer free and something feels off.

Online Purchase - CC Mink Hair

I ordered (2) bonnets. (1) Pink Tie Bonnet for $23.00 and (1) one Kids Bonnet for $18.00. I paid and have never received. She "creates a label" as if she is sending it but nothing ever shows up. It's been almost 2 months. She only lives in Alabama. Therefore, it does not take that long to receive a package from there. She uses her "call for racial unity" as a disguise to get you to buy her products that she never sends out. I have sent her direct messages and I have made comments asking her to contact me and nothing. I saw a reel where people were complaining and experienced the same thing I did. She blocked them and now she has blocked me. I can no longer contact her. She needs to be shut down and Instagram needs to shut her down!

Suspected Online Shopping Scam – GODA I am reporting GODA for suspected fraudulent business practices involving an order I placed and paid for but have not received. Despite accepting my payment, GODA has failed to ship my merchandise or provide a legitimate update regarding my order. I have made multiple attempts to contact the company through email, but none of my messages have received a response. Additionally, the customer service phone number provided does not allow me to speak with a live representative, leaving me with no effective way to contact the company or resolve the issue. I am concerned that GODA may be accepting payments from consumers without fulfilling orders or providing adequate customer support. The lack of shipment information, unanswered emails, and inability to reach anyone by telephone raise serious concerns about the legitimacy of its business practices. I am reporting this as a suspected scam and requesting that the Better Business Bureau investigate these concerns and document my experience to help protect other consumers. I am also requesting an immediate full refund if GODA cannot provide verifiable proof that my merchandise has been shipped. Consumers should not have to chase a company for products they have already paid for, especially when the business appears to be avoiding all communication.

On 5-21-2026 we started cleaning for Vista Rose in Wasilla, we did 5 jobs total. We went through a lot of hoops to get paid over the course of 5 months now and we are still owed money, exactly $455 and I have been in contact with them through email but they are still making excuses why they don’t have the payment. They keep asking for more information even though they have everything they need to pay for the services my company did for them. They have been dragging me on for 5 months now and still no payment after stating that it was in the mail last month, we literally live within 5 miles from their office. I’m not sure what else to do. If anyone can help me with my small business payment I would greatly appreciate it.

I was offered debt relief from creditors. At first I reported identity thief because they knew my bank cards information, (numbers and other valuable information). Once i received new cards from the banks, the subject called again in a few days obtaining the same info for the new cards. The calls were coming regularly, and i was able to reach out for updates. Only at the beginning did I speak to the same rep. Each time after that it was always a different person. Thats when I really started to feel it wasnt real, even though I had asked several times previously, if it was legit. Of course the reply was yes. Its been almost a year and the debt collectors are constantly calling and sending letters.

Advance Fee Loan - Iverexpress

Ongoing email phishing scam from "Iverexpress" ([email protected]; links go through go.iverexpress.com). At least 22 unsolicited emails received between Sep 25 and Oct 13, 2026, claiming the recipient has a $4,880 (later $5,765) "payment" or "account limit" waiting. Rotating subject lines such as "Payment Details," "A Recent Payment Update," "Account Details Updated," and "Your Balance Has Been Updated." The emails contain "View Your Balance" / "View Payment" buttons and unsubscribe links that appear to be part of the scam; the messages are sent via the amazonses.com mass-mailer. The email footer shows a likely fake address: 292 Boone Crockett Lane, Lacey, WA 98503. The recipient never requested a loan, provided no information, clicked no links, paid no money, and lost nothing. A BBB Scam Tracker report from May 2026 already documents this same scam from the same sender, indicating an ongoing campaign.

I placed an order totaling $35.58. My bank notified me that $46.25 was charged to my account. I got in touch with the company and they refunded the $10.67 overcharge. I got a confirmation letter and shortly afterward a JS Express tracking number. I followed the tracking until the item was delivered, but to “an individual“ at “the address” in Stafford, TX. However, the address they had to deliver my item to was 1400 miles away in Pennsylvania. I’ve been back-and-forth with them for nearly a week, but I’m getting no help, only “we have to verify this, we have to check that, we have to investigate this and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.“ I don’t believe they’re doing anything about it, and they are not forthcoming with anything helpful or a refund that I have asked for. I have screenshots of the confirmation letter containing my correct deliveryaddress, and the tracking information showing my item was delivered someplace completely different, but apparently I can only upload one document to this correspondence. I’m uploading the order confirmation letter. The tracking number is JSEIJ2810437697YQ Shipper: JS Express This will show my package was delivered to Stafford, TX

I was assured the card was on the way, there was a shipping delay. I emailed cardholder support again on June 22nd, 2026 because I still hadn't received my card. I logged into my account to check the shipping status of my credit card and was shown a screen that the decision to issue me a credit card had been reversed, and I would be refunded my $95.00 application fee after a 30 day waiting period.

Advance Fee Loan - Phishing Loan Scam

Since October 2025, I have received over 600 unsolicited prerecorded calls promoting supposed personal loans/debt relief. I have NEVER applied for a loan, answered these calls, returned a call, or consented to these solicitations. The callers continually rotate/spoof caller-ID numbers while directing recipients to recurring callback numbers using fictitious stories. Recent messages claim I have an existing “file,” that supervisors/underwriters have reviewed it, and, often lately, that numerous employees have repeatedly tried to reach me. This caller identified themself as "Olivia my lending account manager" and offered an unsolicited $60,000 unsecured personal loan to pay off my credit card debt, even though I never maintain a balance on my credit card. Other recordings use similar fictitious personal stories and loan approvals. I have preserved numerous voicemails, screenshots, dates, caller-ID numbers and callback numbers and have reported this to the FTC numerous times. This appears to be a large-scale, persistent robocall campaign, not isolated calls.

I asked for verification that I was speaking to Cigna and they couldn't give it other than "reassuring" them that that's who they are. They couldn't send me a new bill to pay. She said that I would get a link through email to verify the charge, that nothing would be charged until I verified it through the link. She said she was an upper level manager that was able to get me the bill reduction. The more I pressed for verification the more unprofessional she got.

Said I owed a hospital bill. I told them to send me the bill by mail. They just keep calling and leaving this # 678-590-4854. But I don't call back. I have insurance that covers 100 percent of my bills. I was scammed once before by Walden Pierce Group.

Online Purchase - Data Breech

I was informed the my data was part of a data breech. So when I was contacted, using my name and phone #, that my account was hacked, I believed the scammer. I was “helped” to reverse the charges and it turns out that my debit card was charged 3 times for $110 each time. I supposedly bought 3 gift card from some company in Amsterdam. I did not receive those gift cards that were purchased unknowingly. Within 1 hour I reported this phishing scam to my bank (USAA), and brought my phone to the Apple Service to get any viruses and apps removed. I also reported this to fraud alert to Apple. I am quite disappointed in USAA. Every time I re report this, I am told no error occurred.
