Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered an anti snore device from a company called snoresolvers that advertised a 30 day money back guarantee. Company refused to honor the guarantee once the package was opened. That was not in the initial ad, and how am I supposed to know if it works if I haven't opened it and examined it? I filed a PayPal complaint but it was denied. I want my money back and I want people to know this is a deceptive company.

Counterfeit Product

I purchased what was supposed to be a Movado watch. However, after receiving the watch (a very good fake), I saw where Movado was offering two free links for owners. I applied for it and had to send a picture of my watch and they then informed me that the caseback was not genuine. I e-mailed the company (Watch Direct) continually getting the "run around." I agreed to ship it back...I paid $50.03 to ship it back to them for a refund. It was then held up in customs for weeks and returned to me. I have all receipts. With everything paid including shipping I am out $521.63 for a product that is not accurate to what I was to receive.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered Modlily clothing which i have ordered and liked previously. They promoted a 90% sale so i ordered 6 different items: 5 tops and a pair of slacks on Sept. 27, 2026 for $39.94. They verified my order and gave me a tracking number to follow. They said that it was delivered on 10/31/2026 at 9:16:59. But i received the message 2 hours previous to this time. I reported the issue and responded that i wanted my order to be reshipped. I got a new tracking number and it reported that it was delivered on 10/12/26. When I reported that it was not received they wanted me to accept 70% refund which I denied and requested 100% refund. I have heard nothing. I suspected this to be a scam and put reviews on their repeated adds on Facebook for the same 90% sale several times over the weeks. I don't want othets to get scammed.

I went to the website as was recommended per the Google search for a 1,000 gallon propane tank. Visiting the website I saw they had a thousand gallon above crown propane tank listed for $1,700 and then was going to charge $150 delivery fee. I called the business to confirm and everything seemed to be on the up and up. Nevertheless, after confirming with them that they received my money via wire transfer from my bank, I received an email stating that they need an additional $1,400 in order to ship. I have requested a refund due to the fact that it was false advertisement on their website and now I'm not able to get a hold of anybody and the number has been disconnected

I saw a Shark Tank video of a physician presenting a device called Sculpther which is something they said was a new and revolutionary approach to helping women with urinary incontinence. The device would strengthen pelvic floor muscles in a way no number of Kegels could ever come close to. They state, literally on the website I looked at AFTER purchase, and verbally on the video, that they have &ldquo;Our 30 day Woman to woman guarantee&rdquo; &ldquo;Try now risk free&rdquo;. So, I purchased it from the video I confess I watched on FaceBook. (Where were the alarm bells) I wrote the company immediately after ordering and asked a question pertaining to my long history of issues, whether it was designed for this, and the response from the company was for me to consult with my physician. I did, and was told that this was not a recommendation for me. I reached out to cancel and learned it was in transit. After receiving it, I emailed and asked for the return information given my physician&rsquo;s recommendation. They denied it. I asked again (email) and complained&hellip;..and they offered me $30. Now that I have gone to their website, I see that they have a long list of criteria for not accepting returns. Not a word about what their use of &ldquo;guarantee&rdquo; on the same website means. And these notes were not on the page where I ordered. I have not even opened the device. I actually suggested to them that I&rsquo;d open it and return it then after 30 days, but they have not replied - before, responses were very quick, within minutes. I told them I was going to go to BBB.

I ordered a heart shaped horseshoe windchime supposedly made by a U.S. Army veteran named Jordan Maynard through an online distributor, aueetty.com. The advertising is very convincing that each piece is hand made from a real horse-worn horseshoe. The veteran supposedly needs the money to help his ailing mother. The item that I received was not made from a real horseshoe, It is a cheap piece of tin molded into the shape of a horseshoe. I thought maybe the website I bought from might have been scamming the vet, but I found the actual jordanmaynard.online website and it looks like the whole thing is a scam. Same advertising, same pictures, the key give-away is where it says what you'll receive, weighs about 1/2 pound. Trust me, a real horseshow weighs about 2 pounds. READ CAREFULLY, unfortunately I did not read carefully enough.
