Just left a very long GM. 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 is 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.

This company is totally illegitimate.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

Dear KLM Customer Relations, I am writing to express my extreme frustration and disappointment regarding my recent experience trying to resolve a simple issue with my reservation. I originally contacted KLM last night around 9:30 PM to have “Mrs.” removed from my name on the booking — a title that was added incorrectly and not by me. I remained on the phone until after 11:00 PM trying to reach someone. When I finally connected with an agent, he stated the issue had been corrected, but the call disconnected immediately afterward and no one called me back. This morning, I attempted to contact customer service again. I first called 800-618-0104, only to hear that customer service did not open until 10:00 AM, which is honestly shocking for an international airline. In addition, your mobile website makes it incredibly difficult to find a legitimate customer service number. Most major airlines offer clear chat and call options directly through their apps and websites. Instead, I had to search Google extensively, only to find warnings advising customers not to trust Google search results because of scams. That alone should be a major concern for KLM. I then called 855-803-3037 and was told they could only assist with flight changes and new reservations and could not help me. After hanging up, I received a callback from 646-914-9817 from someone claiming to represent KLM. I spent approximately 25 minutes on the phone with him while at work, increasingly upset and in tears, as he informed me that my tickets were supposedly “standby,” that my seats were not actually confirmed, and that I would need to pay over $6,000 additional dollars to reserve seats for my family — despite already paying premium pricing for these tickets. He further stated that we would simply have to arrive at the airport and hope seats were assigned at check-in. For a family vacation planned and saved for over a long period of time — a true trip of a lifetime — this was beyond distressing. Thankfully, I immediately contacted Delta Air Lines through their chat support. Within minutes, they resolved the issue, confirmed my seats, and fixed everything professionally and efficiently. This experience reinforced exactly why I am a Platinum Medallion member with Delta: trust, accessibility, and customer support. KLM may partner with one of the best airlines in the industry, but your customer experience, website accessibility, communication, and fraud prevention processes urgently need improvement. This situation created unnecessary stress and genuine health impacts due to the anxiety it caused. Customers should never be left confused, vulnerable to possible scams, or emotionally distressed simply trying to verify and manage tickets they already purchased. I sincerely hope KLM takes this feedback seriously and works toward improving the customer experience for future travelers. Sincerely,

Counterfeit Product - The Hills Nashville

Business 1: The Hills Nashville Website: thehillsnashville.com Registered Address: 8 The Green, Suite A, Dover, Delaware 19901 Actual Location: Unknown — ships from China Business 2: Jennifer & John Charleston Website: jenniferjohn-charleston.com Registered Address: 8 The Green, Suite A, Dover, Delaware 19901 Actual Operator: "Loop" — China-based Contact on File: [email protected] / +1 302 760 9909 NATURE OF COMPLAINT I am filing this complaint against two online retailers — The Hills Nashville and Jennifer & John Charleston — that I independently discovered through cross-referencing and that share identical deceptive business practices. Both websites present themselves as American boutiques while actually operating as China-based dropshipping operations. I discovered the connection between these two businesses while researching one after becoming suspicious of the other. Both share the same registered agent address in Dover, Delaware, use the same high-pressure marketing tactics, and employ the same fraudulent return policy structure. SPECIFIC DECEPTIVE PRACTICES 1. False Domestic Business Identity • The Hills Nashville markets itself as a 'mother and daughter boutique' in Nashville, Tennessee, creating the impression of a local American small business. • Jennifer & John Charleston uses the 'Charleston' name to imply a US-based operation. • Both are registered in Delaware using a registered agent address (8 The Green, Suite A) — not a real storefront. Neither has a verifiable physical retail location in the United States. • Jennifer & John Charleston's invoices identify the actual operator as 'Loop,' a China-based entity, which is not disclosed anywhere on the website before purchase. 2. False Advertising of Free Returns • Both websites explicitly advertise free returns in their marketing and store policies. • In practice, customers who attempt returns are informed that: (a) returns must be shipped to an address in China, not the Delaware address; (b) return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility and typically exceed the value of the items; and (c) refunds are limited to approximately 10% of the purchase price. • This policy is concealed before purchase and only revealed after a return is initiated, which constitutes deceptive advertising under FTC guidelines. 3. Products Not as Described • Multiple verified customer reviews on Trustpilot and in BBB Scam Tracker reports confirm that items received do not match website photos or product descriptions. • Materials are frequently described as cheap or synthetic when listed as higher quality. Sizing is inconsistent with standard US sizing. • Shipping times are significantly longer than advertised, consistent with overseas fulfillment. 4. Fabricated Review Profiles • Both websites have artificially inflated ratings on Trustpilot generated through bulk fake reviews, drowning out legitimate negative feedback. • This practice manipulates consumer trust metrics and constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation. 5. High-Pressure Tactics • Both sites employ 'almost sold out' warnings and deep discounts (up to 70-80%) that appear permanent, designed to pressure quick purchases before customers can research the company. REQUESTED ACTION • Open formal complaint files for both businesses under their respective domains. • Investigate the shared business registration address and the 'Loop' operator connection for Jennifer & John Charleston. • Issue a public alert warning consumers about this pattern of boutique-branded, China-sourced dropshipping operations using US city names to imply local identity. • Coordinate with the FTC regarding the deceptive free-returns advertising, which is a clear violation of consumer protection regulations.

Government Grant - Government Grant Scam - Upfront Processing Fees

The American Heart Investment Grant promises grant funds for multiple sectors and industries. In their FAQ, they do mention processing fees. However, legitimate Grant Service providers do not ask for money upfront. Although they were transparent about the fees, they collect personally identifiable information and details about the candidate. I provided them with a grant proposal and business plan for the small business resilient fund grant. I was pre-approved for $105k. Real grants usually take several months to get approval. This approval only took 7 days. Once I was approved, I was asked to sign the documents. But when I told them the documents were not available in the portal, that's when I was told that I needed to pay the fees first. Why would I pay any fees prior to signing an agreement? I could not even see what the agreement was for prior to paying. Everything in their portal seems legitimate. They assign you a personal grant manager, process your application, and send you follow up emails. Again, everything seemed right until they asked for money upfront. Classic Scam. Then, the payment options were through Cashapp, Chime, Bank Wire, and Paypal. I initially selected Paypal as I figured it would be more secure. But, they wanted me to use the "family and friends" option instead of business option and all of the different payment methods had a different name for the end-user. None of the payment information was listed in the name of the organization. Again, classic scam. I shouldn't send money to "Gracie Garcia" for Chime, "Trent" for Cashapp, and someone completely different for Paypal. This was absolutely ridiculous. No sane business owner would fall for this trap.
