Online Purchase

Purchased clothing online to be delivered within a week. Clothing never got delivered. I contacted them by email and they said they would look into it. They go by Stella and Chloe. Over a month later no package. They said the package "was signed for" and logistics cant help them beyond that. They want to offer me 30% refund because "they have driving costs" and can't help me further. I asked for a tracking number to give to the post office and they wont provide me with one. I will not give them my card infor for a refund because they will probably take money out instead of put it back in.

I found a website that looked like JetBlue's official site while searching for airline customer service. The site collected my personal details and charged $300 to my credit card. The charge on my bank statement appeared as TRAVOGLOBAL LLC, not JetBlue. I never authorized any service from TRAVOGLOBAL LLC. The company appears to be impersonating JetBlue Airlines to deceive customers and take money for services they do not provide.I am reporting this as a fraudulent business impersonating a major airline.

They lure future employees on indeed under false pretenses then when it’s time to pay them they change the name of the company again and post a new ad under a completely different name.

Online Purchase - Trybotanik

Trybotanik was a reputable company. We have ordered from them for almost a year. In July, 2026, they started making reoccurring charges on our credit card and the product we had ordered from them was not shipped. We never signed up for auto ship on the product. We were charged in August and never received anything so I immediately got my credit card company involved. A dispute has been made with the company over the two charges and now they have charged my card again in September and have set up a charge for October. My credit card company has placed the money back on my card and they have given me a way to contact them. I have asked them to remove my card from their system. We shall see if they comply...my guess is that they won't. It's like they have vanished. The old email address I used is no longer valid. A good company gone BAD...

What happened: I received a coordinated phishing attempt via a "ringless voicemail" and a simultaneous text message designed to look like a live automated transcript. The text message used a spoofed sender number (806-318-0553) and falsely claimed to be from "Credit Management Company," a legitimate debt collector. It pressured me to call a toll-free number (888-706-5161) or click a malicious hyperlink disguised as a phone number (469-982-5000) to listen to a fake voicemail recording. Exact text of the message received: "18063180553 Deposited a new message: 'We have an important message from credit management company. This is a call from a debt collector.

They sent a deceiving letter to my mom saying she had a warranty with them on her car and she must call with her VIN & mileage before 9/3/26 otherwise she loses protection. They got her on the phone and got her car information and credit card number but her credit card company caught it as fraud & the payment was stopped but then they pushed the payment for the 1st months installment through a 2nd time. We reported both as fraud to the bank & the funds were refunded, but because the 2nd payment initially was pending, they sent over account information even though we told them over the phone we were reporting them as fraud & to remove my mom's information. They continue to call and ask for payment. This is predatory business practices as my mom is a senior citizen & false advertising because we were never a customer of theirs.

Employment - Task based online job scam

mayzob.com is a fake "task earning" platform presenting itself as "Mayzob Technologies Inc" where users do tasks to earn a balance. It is an advance-fee scam: victims are told to send Bitcoin payments as an "activation fee" / to "continue to work" and "release" their payout. Payments go to rotating collection wallets and nothing is ever paid out. The user dashboard shows a fake $715.50 balance labeled "ESCROW PROTECTED," claimed to be "held safely by a bank" - no bank is named. Confirmed scam collection wallets (Bitcoin): bc1q8uc8x7ffy8xzsyjfp38fzz4u7gkr6eje3ekqtz (18 incoming deposits Sep 1-6, 2026, balance ~0.0202 BTC) and bc1q0gjwmcdm3tflse8vdk9zvds24au7r3qjue9jw3 (24 incoming deposits Sep 7-26, 2026, balance ~0.0277 BTC, zero outgoing); both are already reported on chainabuse.com. No corporate registration for "Mayzob Technologies Inc" exists on Florida Sunbiz or OpenCorporates. The domain was registered 2026-08-16 via GoDaddy with Domains By Proxy privacy protection (a GoDaddy abuse report was already filed, ticket DCU102215176). The site's "Certified & verified" page displays forged trust certificates: an NSF-ISR ISO 9001:2015 certificate (cert 6P861-IS4) claiming validity 19-MAY-2020 to 18-MAY-2028 (8 years - genuine ISO 9001 certificates are valid exactly 3 years); an SCS ISO 9001:2015 certificate (cert 546/BI/01) claiming 25 Nov 2020 to 24 Nov 2027 (7 years); and a US DOL "Apprenticeship Ambassador" certificate. Real companies hold one ISO certificate from one body, not two overlapping ones.

A male voice which did not identify itself announced MY name very robotically & slowly said my account is now seriously overdue and is now about to be escalated to a more serious level. *Not once did this caller give a reference as to what company he was calling on behalf of, any "amount due" or anything that would make me believe I have an overdue bill of any sort. He continued that my "account" was now going to move up for an account review or words to that affect and it's very important that I call back between 9 AM and 6 PM Eastern Standard Time and ask for Jason Mitchell or any of our account representatives. My "reference number is: LVSTZV (or B-hard to tell on the message) 31763. I have no idea what this nonsense refers to. I have no outstanding accounts other than a medical bill I'm making payments on, but they would have identified themselves. I know this is just another scam spam call and made sure to block it on both my Call Blocker unit and my phone.

My husband and I were looking for a place in Childress, Texas. We went to marketplace on Facebook. We contacted a guy who said he was a realtor. But when he started insisting that we send him money though a CashApp, Venmo or Apple card, I got very suspicious. So I didn't give him any money. He kept insisting that we could trust him. But when he gave the address it didn't seem to be the same as what I saw on my computer. Everything seemed to be bad about this person. He just wasn't doing things a realtor does. So now I've blocked him on my phone. He used the name David Ness.

Dear *****, I’m following up regarding your prompt response, as the other applicant is still on hold. Kindly let me know whether you’d like to file the trademark or not, so we can proceed accordingly. As mentioned, once the trademark is filed, the business name will be registered under your ownership legally and federally. That means, no one else will be allowed to use your name without your consent anywhere. However, if we file the trademark for the other applicant, then you will be required to change your business name and stop using it everywhere, else the other applicant will be allowed by the USPTO to pursue legal actions. If you wish to secure your business name, kindly respond urgently, as the other applicant has been on hold since yesterday. Without a response from you today, we will have no choice but to proceed with filing for the other party.
