Employment - Employment Solicitation Scam

I was contacted by someone who claimed they found my profile on OnlineJobs.ph and offered me a job opportunity. We communicated through WhatsApp via both chat and voice calls. The job involved promoting or distributing what was described as cigar products to convenience stores. As the conversation progressed, several things made the business seem suspicious, including the lack of clear company information and unprofessional hiring practices. Afterward, other Filipino workers reached out to me and said they had worked for this same person but were never paid for the work they completed. Based on my experience and the reports from other applicants, I believe this may be a fraudulent employment scheme targeting freelancers from OnlineJobs.ph. I am submitting this report so the incident can be investigated and to help prevent others from becoming victims. I don't have the exact address of the person since he did not disclose anything but he says, most of his business is in New York City Below is the picture I spoke about.

I purchased a product from Marlow Market, described as a hand carved wooden flag; made in Tennessee by a veteran. What arrived was a broken cheap piece of plastic. I disputed the product and the story behind the product with Marlow Market. I was told that I would be responsible for the cost of return shipping on the item to Hong Kong and the maximum refund is 35%. I disputed that saying their website advertises a 30-day money back guarantee. Janet from Marlow Market is unwilling to budge. I have disputed the charge with my credit card company, and I am reaching out to your organization to report Marlow Markets untruthful business practices. I have uploaded a word document with SNIPS from their website as well as a photo of the broken plastic flag that was sent to me. Thank you for your assistance with exposing this business for being untruthful.

i was looking on facebook marketplace for a built on site shed. I came across a lady by the name of Natasshia *****.offering a shed for 10x20/Tiny Home for $5,000. I inquired about a quote for a 10x16 shed. She quoted me $4500. I asked would they be willing to take $4000 cash for the 10x16. She asked "if i'd be able to discuss with her boss. She said she dint think that he would have an issue with i"t. I told her "I could give him a call". She gave me his number 850-490-5728, she said she would let him know to expect my call. I told her okay awesome and sounds good. She said "happy to help! looking forward to yalls business." Then she said" I told him to keep an eye out for yalls call" I said alrighty wonderful. this all took place on Facebook messenger on August 7th, 2026. I called the gentlemen the same day and after ringing it went to voicemail that wasn't set up yet. I then, had my wife send him a text message to the number that the lady gave us. that was August 7th, 2026 at 1:19pm. M wife sent atext introducing herself and how she got the number and said the ladies name in the message. At 1:28pm He wrote back introducing himself as John and said to give him a few moments and he would reach out and that he was finishing up some task. My wife said sounds good and thank you as well as saying nice to meet you. My wife spoke to john on the phone at 1:49pm about the type of shed we were looking for and that we wanted to have it built on site do to how the property was made that one couldnt be made to be delivered. he understood and said the $4000 cash was fine and he could doit for that. after speaking with him my sent him a text message asking if it would be possible to take a look at the one in the photo or one like it? John said everything is build to order. the one that was in the photo was already sold but that he might have pictures of the interior somewhere. Sent a photo to John of the send that we were interested in. He sounded legit and seemed to know his stuff. came to the house with 2 printed contracts both the same. he signed both copies. Said it would be 50% of the deposit. I gave him cash $2000 after we all signed the contract. Said he could start the following day which was Sunday August 9th,2026. He and another gentlemen came with him. they laid the wood and got the frame up. Then came back to me and asked for another $1000 on top of the $2000 that I had already given them. Saying he didn't realize prices of materials went up. and seemed like it went up of night. I was a bit reluctant and hesitant but went ahead and gave him the other $1000 and he signed and wrote a note that I gave him another $1000 and that I only owed him $1000 more. Monday August 10th, 2026 John sent my wife a message said he was running a tab bit behind his schedule and was waiting on his guy to show up. that was at 11:59am. By 1:46 my wife wrote back and said not a problem and she received the message late. At 4:59pm my wife wrote and asked what happened. John said nothing major ran into a couple issues at the house. My wife told him alright and that I was wondering if they were going to be coming at all today. Tues August 11th 2026 at 8:19am my wife texts John and said to let her know when he was going to come over. John wrote back 11:14am saying he was ordering the windows and fastners and to give hie a moment. He said the T1111 is paid for but have to put the windows in fist the T111 goes over the top of the studs. They didnt have the windows in stock here so i'm seeing how long it will take to get them. Saying otherwise we will have to make them bigger which is more expensive. My wife said okay and my husband was wondering what was going on. John replied tell him not to worry. Just dealing with logistics. Later that afternoon John said everything was ordered and that he would be at the house thursday and that when everything would be completed. He apologized for the delay and that he would see us Thursday. My wife sent John a message checking in for updates at 11:312am and heard nothing back. She wrote him again at 1:07pm and still got no response. Friday August 14th, 2026 my wife gave John a call at 9:06am and the phone rang but went to a voicemail that wasn't set up still. then she sent him a one last text message at 9:07 and still no response. We are now left with no return texts are calls. and a shed that is incomplete and only thing there is a frame of it.

Online Purchase - Allaura

I purchased a Queen-size Beige product advertised by Allaura as “Natural European Linen Sheets” for $119 ($113.05 after a discount). When the order arrived, it contained one fitted sheet and two pillowcases, but no flat/top sheet. The order confirmation describes the product as “Natural European Linen Sheets × 1 – Beige / Queen.” It does not identify the product as a “Without Flat Sheet” configuration. After receiving the incomplete set, I contacted Allaura through both its published customer-service email address and its website contact form. I subsequently documented language on Allaura's own website stating: “All sets include 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, and 2 pillowcases (1 for Twin/Twin XL).” I sent Allaura a screenshot of this statement and asked the company to honor its advertised representation by supplying the missing Queen-size flat sheet. Allaura responded that my purchase was supposedly a “Without Flat Sheet” configuration and stated that a linen storage bag had replaced the flat sheet. The company acknowledged that its product presentation, wording, the term “sheet set,” and product imagery could have led a customer to expect a traditional set containing both a fitted and flat sheet. Despite this, Allaura refused to provide the flat sheet and instead directed me to purchase a matching flat sheet separately. I made multiple good-faith attempts to resolve the issue directly with the company. My concern is that the product I received did not match what Allaura's own website represented as being included in its sheet sets, while my order confirmation contains no indication that I purchased a “Without Flat Sheet” configuration. I am reporting this experience so other consumers can be aware of this issue when considering a purchase from Allaura/tryallaura.com.

After giving direct deposit info for my venmo, I was informed a check to purchase equipment for the job could not be issued because the direct deposit account had to be a personal bank account thru a legit banking institution. If I sent my banking info they could proceed with onboarding and hiring. Beware this "company" sends a vary legit looking onboarding and offer letter. I am assuming they send a fake check to purchase equipment thru their special vendor and the potential employee is left with stolen equipment and a bounced check.

Employment - Employment

I received an unsolicited/fraudulent employment interview invitation from individuals claiming to represent Synthon Pharmaceuticals. The email stated that they had reviewed an Administrative Support application allegedly submitted through Indeed and invited me to a remote interview through Microsoft Teams. The communication identified “Katie Patterson” as the sender and stated that the interviewer would be “Mr. Mark Vlaanderen.” The interview was supposed to last approximately 40–55 minutes and an interview code, SYPSN0174, was provided. The communications used the email/domain [email protected] / synthonusa.com. I was also instructed to communicate with the supposed interviewer through [email protected]. I became suspicious because the recruiting communications were not coming from Synthon Pharmaceuticals’ established corporate email domain and because an Outlook email address was being used for the supposed company representative. I researched the information before proceeding and discovered that the email/domain had been reported in connection with employment scams, including information found through BBB scam reporting. The scammers appear to be impersonating a legitimate pharmaceutical company and using the names of individuals associated with that company to make the employment opportunity appear authentic. The email specifically referenced Indeed, which may cause recipients who are actively job searching to believe they previously applied for the position. I did not proceed with the purported employment process after identifying the scam. I am submitting this report so the email addresses, domain, interview code, names being used, and Synthon Pharmaceuticals impersonation can be documented and connected with similar reports.
