Messaged for fun, friends, asked for pictures, demands money otherwise blackmail

Made purchase thru iravella.com thinking it was a legit website but come to find out they're scammers and I never received my package

Advertised on Facebook to get a Sheepadoodle for $600. Asked for a deposit. Used several different people till my Zelle sent money to her. When I was supposed to pick up the pup, she suddly had to leave to see her sick mom. Then said she would pay for transport since it was her fault and asked for home address etc to have dog shipped. After all information was given then the facility contacted me and asked for $500 refundable rental crate fee. When I told her about it, she tried many guilt tactics. I said no to her and the company. They then threaten to tell the “dog police.” I said good, please do since ai will report it as well. This is terrible that people do this.

I was approached about a data entry position that I applied for on LinkedIn or another job site. The recruiter, Simon Monroe, even legitimized the interaction by moving it into a Microsoft Teams chat instead of WhatsApp, like most scammers. The first red flag was the interview process, which was a series of written questions that required thought-provoking answers. It was weird that this was the interview, but I answered because no PII was requested. The second red flag was when I received the hiring paperwork. They requested my bank information as part of the onboarding process, not through a gated solution, but rather as a PDF that could be shared with anyone, anywhere. This is the form that was for the "Interview" https://app.formbricks.com/s/ubtg8sfix92eqg4mecqs5tbu . Attached is the onboarding documents.

Got email as quoted: " Hey *****, The HP Multi Jet Fusion PA12 parts you're producing at ***—with isotropic properties and fine detail—qualify for the federal R&D credit. Want me to share a short rundown of why you'd qualify? Kind regards, Rose Rose Nunes "

Hey, this is Donovan Monroe. I called your phone twice but for some reason your phone is going straight to voicemail. The reason why I'm calling it's because I have some documents that are being tied directly to your social, an all-state issued ID that you may possess. It also says on here that an asset search is also being conducted too. So if you receive this message and you have not received a red folder or green folder of documents in the mail. You need to contact me in my office as soon as possible. Now, I will have a notary in the office later today to sign and stamp all paperwork. Now, I do understand that this message is somewhat vague, but at the same time, I don't feel comfortable leaving results of a private matter on a voicemail box that can be overheard by a 3rd party or another person. So once again, this is Donovan. I'm leaving the office about 90 minutes earlier than usual today for my daughter's soccer tournament, which actually begins this later this afternoon. So again, when you receive this message, just reach out to me and I'm gonna explain everything to you in a simple way for you to understand and obviously make the best decision. Take care.

I am getting harassing phone calls stating that I ordered "Memory Booster" from their company and did not pay. I never ordered or received the supplements they state they sent to me. I am not familiar with this company. I did not order anything from this company. They claim that my "subscription" can not be cancelled until I pay the $199.98. They gave a USPS tracking number that I have confirmed is not valid. No matter how I explain it to them, they are demanding payment for a product I did not order. They have all of my personal information including the last four digits of my credit card number. I have notified my credit card company concerning this, and do not seem to have many options for discontinuing these harassing phone calls.

Scammer called my work phone and left a message that someone opened up a new credit card in my name and gave the last 4 of my social security # and provided a call back phone # 929.605.0251. I did not call this number, instead i pulled an Experian credit report and there was no such new CC created without my knowledge. Beware, do not call back the number provided by the caller, always call the number on the back of your CC or Bank.

Lisa Van der gogh contacted me regarding an interview for a job position. This sounds fake from the begining !!!

Joined this website and was promised a refund if I canceled within three days. I did cancel, but they charged me for the whole year. They’ve been given no way to contact them except through the email which they returned to me saying the mailbox was full. Try later.

I was contacted for a job offer I did two days of full training never got paid for my training I did 20 hours total.

They called me and said I applied for a job position to be a package handler and promised a monthly based pay of 43000. Never received my payment. But they continued to call and harass me about the merchandise

They called and ask if i had medicare part a and part b then when i said yes they hung up

My shipping boxexpress.com let me to believe that I was working as a shipment checker and I would receive $4300 for my salary in which I would be paid July 12 and that if I shipped these packages and do what the job description included I would be paid and they would be I would be gainfully employed with the company. This is a scam. I received different packages to my home in which I’m trying to return to sender because I believe that these packages was bought through ill gotten means and I’ve notified the police to no help but anyone who’s reading this please be aware of this company. They are a scam company and do not believe anything different or let anybody tell you different.

I ordered this item on May 28, with the shop claiming shipping in 3-5 business days. I reached out 11 days later via email and did not get a response to 2 emails. I followed up on facebook and instagram and saw many comments from people waiting months for their items. I got a response it would ship last week via facebook. Then via email from the owner, Sea, after saying I would be filing a police report. He said they would ship when items come in. No estimated date. I asked for a refund and got no response. Their website "help " is diabled.

I saw an advertisement for portable air conditioners from a company named EpiCooler both online and on TV. I went online and ordered 2 units. Somehow, I ordered 2 more that I didn't want. I also received 2 packages of cleaning tablets and an extended warranty that I did not order. The total was $447.84. The quality of the product was comparable to a lacklustre fan. I immediately tried to stop the sale, but I could not find any contact information for EpiCooler, like a phone number. I paid through PayPal so decided to contact them immediately to ask for help in cancelling this order. PayPal claimed that EpiCooler told them they could not stop the sale as it was already in process of shipping. They forwarded the info to Commerce Core UAB, meanwhile I was informed to allow time for the seller to respond, AND they encouraged me to work directly with the seller to resolve the issue. I received order confirmation of receipt on May 23. Having tested 2 units, I contacted them at https://epicooler.com/contact-us and ended up on a chatline. I aired all my grievances, asked for a full refund and directions on returning the items. Ultimately, I was advised that "The Expert" would help and I was forwarded to a form to fill out for this help. The form wanted credit card information and for me to sign up for a monthly fee for said help. At that point, I just stopped trying to deal with them.

I ordered Blue Clarity Glasses for 39.99, plus shipping. They arrived. Tested them myself, brother tested, neighbor tested, friend tested. They do not work. NOW I CAN'T GET INFO TO RETURN THEM. Being on fixed income, I am needing my money back and want to return within the 30 day window of full refund guarantee. No response from them. What can be done? Apparently I'm out of luck and stuck with something I can not use.

They are posing as Labrador breeders. They have my name and email

They had my vehicle information and got my credit card information but the payment was declined.

Ordered a car seat travel system thay was scheduled to arrive by June 11th according to their website. It is now June 15th and the order has not only not been sent but the item was never provided to Fedex. I habe reached out multiple times requesting an update and keep getting a generic automated response that my item is within their 5-10 day shipping window. They also dont allow cancellations on their website after placing the order unless you purchase a seperate package to be able to have 7 days to change your mind and return the item, otherwise they do not accept cancelations or refunds. Their customer service is terrible and the only way to reach them is to send a message on their website. They then send you an automated AI message stating they will have someone reach out and never do. They do not have a number to call, I did manage to find one on another website and called it and received and automated message that hey dont take phone calls and was promptly hung up on. Inhabe disputed the purchase with paypal but was told i havr to wait for resolution from the Rebel team first. I am now out this money and have to purchase from somewhere else in the hope that ir arrives by the time i have my baby.

Thought I was applying for a passport but scammed

They claimed to be assisting senior citizen with debt and they already had all of my credit cards information and claimed that within 9 months they would have all charges forgiven. the name used on the payment was Keach.

I bought what i thought was an Ayn Thor Max (gaming emulation handheld device) on May 2. it took 20 days for the device to even clear customs, and by the time it said it delivered, it said the delivery failed because of a “wrong building entry code.” it kept making up excuses as to why my package couldn’t be delivered, and it never responded to my support emails regarding an address change, failed deliveries, etc. it didn’t even give me a tracking number nor a carrier name so i had no idea where this order would’ve been which i thought was suspicious, only to find out that other people had experienced this too.

Caller saying I will be served at my place of residence or employment, does not say who or why .

I was called about a job offer that I applied for on Indeed. They said they’re new to America, it’s a work from Home job, all you do is inspect packages and you will receive your money. Some packages will come in your name, some will come in other people’s names. They constantly call you about their packages. But when you need them to pay you your money, they go around it, or they just completely stop answering. Luckily I didn’t give them my social or my real bank account.

I was asked to send a photo of my drivers license front and back and a picture with me holding it

I purchased 28 silver dollar coins that were supposed to be .999 silver dollars. I used a magnet and they are steel

I work for KJ Unnerstall Construction in Washington, Missouri. I received an email to our invoice account with an invoice and W-9 attached and a conversational thread using the name of our owner Kurt Unnerstall. Not only was the company from another state but the email had spelling mistakes and after stating in the email that the invoice was overdue, the attached document was dated when this email arrived 6/12/2026. I am attaching those documents and we have already forwarded the matter to our IT firm.

I was scrolling on tik tok and seen some jeans pop up on there tik tok adds. Looked through it and seen they were ones that I was looking to purchase from another site but these were way more affordable. I placed my order. They gave me a tracking number through track718. A few weeks go by. Nothing so I contacted them my email. Station line customer service informed tracking was correct and due to them coming from china it would take a bit longer. So I waited. Package through tracking number said it was delivered. Nothing. Contacted them again. They said they would reship at no cost with new tracking number still nothing. When I placed my order it was on February 23,2026. I have spoken to customer service around 13 times now and still no package or refund. When they packages never arrived I requested at refund. They said it would take 15-25 days for me to receive it. It’s now been 4 months and I’m still waiting. This is what the company is selling.

Approached about job as package checker. They did send package of supposed one ounce of gold.

I was trying to buy a microwave. It said that it was a cell through Wayfair. They had all the information that look like Wayfair and I actually signed in because I’m not a Wayfair person since my first time said that it took my email and tried to take my phone number, but for some reason I didn’t give that cause it was like you guys know that’s enough information gave me a discount. I got this on my search engine my Google. I tried to charge, but they wouldn’t my credit card shut down so they did

This was a letter stating that activation was required for the extended warranty on my son's new vehicle and included identification cards in my name since I was the co-signer on his vehicle. After my son contacted these people, I contacted the dealership where he purchased the vehicle and was informed by someone in their finance department that his monthly payment included an extended warranty and that this company was a scam, that they have received several calls from customers regarding these various companies.

This company had an ad on TikTok. I thought I was buying from the TikTok shop. I didn't realize it directed me to another website until I went back to TikTok to see my order and it wasn't there. I received a tracking number but it appears fake. It's been a month since I ordered and have not received anything.

This person has been scamming customers for a month now. This person is taking money from these people. Using all of our information to act like us. I have tried to get facebook to close down their page but they will not.

Purchased a hoodie 5/3/2026, delivery was made through GOFO. Made delivery to work address to ensure delivery would be handed to the business directly- but thr delivery was not made to correct address. Reached out to CloudNine after one month no delivery, they blamed me not adding "shipping protection". I am not required to purchase shipping protection under FCC to ensure the delivery is made. The shipping is still marked as "on its way" and the sipper, GOFO has confirmed jt as lost hut Cloud Nine blames me for not purchasing shipping protection. Beware. Its already expensive and to not receive it and be blamed for not purchasing protextion is deceitful practices. Thankfully i only ourchaed one to try and only am out $100. I saw another individual dealing with the same issue and have to bring this to light to ensure others may not be scammed the same way.

While I am technically not out any money, I am not satisfied with the quality and am not receiving a full refund. I ordered a dress but the wrong color was in the shopping cart. When I contacted the company, they immediately responded that the correct dress would be sent so I felt confident with their service. However, the wrong dress arrived (much later than they said) and is a disgusting quality. There’s a huge slit from ankle to waist band which was not in the description. I am asking them to pay for return shipping and to refund my money. They continue to offer ridiculous solutions such as my keeping the dress for a 10% refund and 50% off future orders. The dress arrived with a return address of New York and they expect me to pay for shipping to China.

A third party purchase of $208.00 will be take. Out of my account. It does not say what it’s for and I have nothing that I’ve paid for or sign d up for.

The website mimics Nordstrom Rack and lists company as Australia after further investigation. The materials for the dresses advertised are Cotton linen but the dresses are shipped from China, returns to China and the material and style are not as pictured in the advertisement.

On YouTube, Linensloom advertised beautiful clothing. I purchased over $300 dollars worth. But when it came, it was as though they took poor quality pictures of the clothing advertised and printed it on cheap fabric.

I was trying to purchase a flea color for my dog and when I went to purchase the merchandise from them, the receipt came in that I had made the payment to Chelsea Warren through PayPal, and I immediately found that suspicious and went online typed in the lady's name, Chelsea Warren and it immediately said that it was a scam?

Website stated christian & America 250 shirts made in USA. They are all make in China, they claim they are made in USA and shipped to China for storage.

My debit card account was charged. My bank alerted me.
