This is a personality test after which you are prompted to pay a small amount in order to receive the results, which I did. Unknowingly, you are automatically signed up for a subscription as well, which then charges you $40/month. I cannot find any email that shows that I subscribed to this and cannot find any way to cancel the subscription. I've emailed the company directly to request a cancellation and to state that I will be challenging the charges.

Investment - Investment - Stellarnet

I was introduced to the platform by a friend who showed me what appeared to be proof of earnings and successful returns. Believing the opportunity was legitimate, I decided to invest. After being referred, I communicated with an individual identifying himself as the company’s “Chief Officer” through WhatsApp. He guided me through the registration process and instructed me on how to purchase virtual computing devices through the website. The platform claimed these devices generated income through computing power. I purchased USDT cryptocurrency through Newton and transferred it using the Ethereum ERC20 network to purchase the devices. Over the past several months, StellarNet repeatedly offered promotions encouraging investors to purchase additional devices and reinvest their earnings. The platform continued displaying earnings and allowing withdrawals, which gave investors confidence to keep investing. Today, following a major promotional campaign that encouraged further investments, the website suddenly went offline and the individual identifying himself as the Chief Officer stopped responding. Investors are now unable to access the platform or their funds. I believe investors may have been deliberately encouraged to continue depositing money before the platform shut down. I understand that multiple Canadians have also been affected. My personal financial loss is under $5,000 CAD. I am requesting an investigation into the individuals operating StellarNet, the cryptocurrency wallets used to collect investor funds, and whether the funds can be traced or recovered.

Resilia turns all their one time orders into some monthly subscription that you did not sign up for. Then they say to contact an email for refunds and you get a form that they are receiving high volume of emails and to look at their FAQ's. When you look at their FAQ's it directs you to the email address run by a 'bot.' The website promises refunds within 24hrs and I've been trying for days with no resolution.

Romance

it started on Viber app (similar to WhatsApp). the man identified himself as Frank Lee from Seattle WA. Recently, when I checked him on Viber, he changed his name to Seaton with a photo of a golden retriever. He didn't have a photo or profile photo when he approached me. It was a 5 month's worth of 'relationship'. He introduced himself and said if we knew each other before. he said he had a master's degree from China. Started on April 7 2026, almost two weeks after, he 'confessed' his 'feelings' for me. and how i'd feel about that. he introduced me to 'gold trading', but i didn't know that it was crypto. the trading platform page was PXWZX. by end of April, he wanted me to join him in trading and he started me off with $1,000 which he said he would match and we split the profits from the investment. he wanted to meet me, so i then said i'd think about it, and days after, i agreed and said i'd go to Seattle, then he said he'd go to California instead and meet me and even said mid-August he'd fly and meet me. then came May, he talked me into investing at $100,000, and that he'd match it. by end of May, he said he didn't want to pass up the opportunity for a $1 million trading, as it's for 'our future'; he made all these promises. he sounded so genuine. he talked a little here and there about his 'daughter', his 'elderly parents' and 'aunt'. he'd occasionally mention 'our future' on talks of money and investment. he'd tell me about borrowing money from friends, family, even my auto mechanic, and pulling money from my home equity, and also to withdraw my 401k and my retirement account. he also even had me apply for personal loans and that he does it all the time and he'd pay them back right after he'd earn from trading that i'd do the same. June and July too were about 'investment' and how it's about growing the money, he'd tell me to open my 'trading platform account' to 'trade'. he'd tell me step by step, he'd walk me through it all the whole time, every time there's 'trading day'. then the supposed day of withdrawal, Aug 10 2026. he even told me how to withdraw. then after the attempted withdrawal, got the message about how i'd need to put in 10% of what i was withdrawing to verify my account. his tone started changing when it was about to end. he used multiple phone numbers in his Viber app. he started with 772-285-2562 and then claimed it was his assistant's phone number and so then he moved the conversation to 206-683-9050 (once in a while he'd call me from this phone number via the Viber app and spent only less than 10 mins or 5 mins on the call). then a couple of weeks after the attempted withdrawal, he switched the phone number to 206-341-2348.
