Online Purchase

Consumer Complaint Regarding Select Plumbing Supply (selectplumbingsupply.com) On September 12, 2026, I placed an online order with selectplumbingsupply.com for two anti-siphon valves. The advertised price was $53.10, including free shipping. On September 13, 2026, a charge of $56.32 from an e-commerce payment platform was posted to my credit card account in connection with this purchase. I did not receive an order confirmation from selectplumbingsupply.com, nor did I receive any confirmation that the valves had been shipped. On September 17, 2026, I attempted to contact the company by sending an email to the email address provided on its website. I was requesting an estimated shipping date for my order. The email was returned as non-deliverable. I found no telephone number on the company’s website, so I was unable to contact the company by telephone. As of September 28, 2026, I had received neither the merchandise nor any communication from the company regarding my order. On September 28, 2026, I contacted my credit card issuer and explained the transaction history and my inability to contact the vendor. The credit card issuer opened a dispute and began the process of refunding the $56.32 charge. Additional information I subsequently researched the website and found additional information that I believe may be relevant to a consumer-protection investigation. WHOIS information associated with selectplumbingsupply.com lists the following address: 1928 E. Highland Ave., Ste F104, PMB #255, Phoenix, AZ 85016 This address appears to be associated with a UPS Store rather than a conventional plumbing-supply business location. I am providing this information as an observation for investigators to verify; I do not know whether the address is legitimately used by the operator of selectplumbingsupply.com or whether the company maintains any physical business location there. I am submitting this complaint so that the appropriate authorities and consumer-protection organizations can document this transaction and determine whether other consumers have experienced similar problems with selectplumbingsupply.com. I can provide supporting documentation, including the credit card transaction, order information, the returned/non-deliverable email, screenshots of the website and its contact information, WHOIS information, and any other records relating to the transaction.

Sellout tickets was promoting an event called Balloon World which travels to various countries and they were to be in Vancouver, BC the weekend of May 2nd and 3rd 2026. So back in January 2026, I purchased 2 tickets for May 3rd 2026 and on May 1st 2026, I received an email from sellout tickets "Marco" that the event was canceled and reschedule to November 13th weekend. This new date does not work for me, so I emailed Marco back saying that I wanted a refund instead; they replied back within a few days offering a credit which I declined and again requested a refund. What followed is 5 months of me incessantly emailing them again and again asking for my refund and now absolutely nobody at sellout tickets has been returning my emails and of course, there is no phone number to call and they have no social media presence to try to reach them there. So I think it's pretty obvious to me now that this is a big scam

Counterfeit Product - Kate & Claire Boston Online Retail Scam

They advertise on social media as a Boston co. with beautiful clothing. It comes from China, no sizes shown, no labels, no brand label. Attempted return because one dress is not a size small but more like a large, the other is longer than shown in social media photos. They do business under other names. False Advertisement in quality, location, and AI generated models. Attempted a return and they advise it has to be returned to China NOT to Boston. I sent them photos of the product that arrived stuffed in a too small plastic bag. They said keep the dresses for a 6% credit back not full money returned. I complained. They then offered only 15% money back or mail back to China and pay exorbitant shipping costs. It is very poor quality, there are multiple complaints on YouTube about their way of doing business. They need to be shut down. Complete false advertisement in ALL ways.

Worthless Problem-solving Service

I ordered MemoPryl after falling for fake testimonials on its effectiveness again brain fog/ pre-dementia symptoms. I ordered a 6 bottle packet for a total of $294.00 (which included $28.68 in taxes) on 6/1/24. The product advertises on its website that they have a 60 day money back guarantee after the purchase date. After I received it, I started taking it and it made me sick to my stomach, so I emailed the company and requested a full refund on 6/22/26. I was referred to a customer advance support portal and was promised a refund within 3 months of purchase. On August 31, 2026, I checked in on the status of my refund. I was sent to a customer support portal that advised that it can take up to 3 months for the refund. I checked back in on 9/28/26, I was told my request was "pending", but then was advised that I wasn't entitled to a refund because I hadn't requested one timely. I gave the representative my timeline, and the bot finally agreed I was entitled to a refund and (again) a customer service representative would be in touch. The bot also tried to get me to take a partial refund on the spot which I refused. I reiterated that according to their policy I was entitled to a full refund. They said they would send me a copy of our chat and a customer service representative would "be in touch." I did not hear back from a customer service representative and I did not get a copy of our chat (although I did cut and paste it, so I have it, along with the email thread).

Worthless Problem-solving Service

Prior to signing a contract with Expert Book Publisher, I checked them out and saw no reg flags. I signed with them way back in January of 2025. For my particular book, which is a children's book that is all of 10 pages, it has still not been completed. Life events, kids and a lay off had distracted me from staying more on top of them and holding them to their delivery promises. My "project manager" has "left the company" three different times, all different people and it seams that they won't address your work until you contact them with a complaint. I have demanded a full refund, only to be told that they do not issue refunds whatsoever. If all else fails, I will file a charge back with my bank but since so much time has passed, I am not confident that that will be a successful resolution. I am currently hunting for all of my receipts and I am not 100% certain of the amount that I have entered as the total lost, of $2,000. My other course of action will be a demand letter.

Counterfeit Product

I am reporting my experience with COREX / CorexBooks because I have serious concerns about the company’s handling of my return, its business practices, and the information presented to consumers. I purchased a 2 products from CorexBooks and later decided that I wanted to return it due to the fact it was a fraudulent copy or immatation of an already published book. The product is unused and unopened and remains in my possession. I first contacted the company to initiate the return on September 2, 2026 (the day I received the product). According to the company’s return policy, customers are required to contact COREX before sending an item back and obtain the appropriate return instructions and address. I followed that process. I repeatedly contacted the company and made it clear that I wanted to return the unused/unopened product. I was prepared to ship it back, but COREX did not provide me with the return address or instructions I needed to complete the return. I exchanged 18 emails with the company while attempting to resolve this issue. Despite my repeated requests, I was never provided with the information necessary to return the product. Instead, COREX repeatedly attempted to resolve the situation by offering me partial refunds. I declined these offers because I did not want to keep the product. I wanted to return it through the company’s stated return process and receive the appropriate refund. I also became concerned about the company’s business address. The address provided or associated with the company was not listed as a conventional business address, which raised concerns for me about the nature and legitimacy of the company’s operations. I also became concerned about the way the company presents itself online. Based on my review of its website and marketing materials, I believe the company makes extensive use of AI-generated content and imagery including a fake/AI generated author. This concerned me because I felt the presentation of the company could give consumers an impression of a more established or conventional book business than what I experienced as a customer. The products I received originated from China. This raised additional concerns for me about the company’s sourcing, product representation, and whether consumers are being given sufficiently clear information about where products actually originate. After repeatedly attempting to resolve the matter directly with COREX and receiving no meaningful resolution, I ultimately disputed the transaction with my bank. I am reporting this experience because I believe consumers should be aware of the difficulties I encountered when attempting to exercise the company’s own return policy. I made numerous good-faith attempts to return an unused product, communicated with the company extensively, and remained willing to return the product. Despite this, I was unable to complete the return because COREX did not provide the return information I repeatedly requested and no longer are responding to me. My concerns are therefore not limited to the fact that I wanted to return a purchase. My concerns include the company’s handling of my return request, the repeated offers of partial refunds instead of providing return instructions, the lack of a clearly identifiable conventional business address, the use of what I believe to be substantial AI-generated content in its online presentation, and information indicating that the products originated from China. I believe the company is a scam.

Phishing - ENTRY LLC

I was trying to renew my passport online and inadvertently ended up on their very misleading website. I thought I was dealing with the government, but when I got the email receipt, it then said I would have to pay an additional $130 to the government to get my passport. That's when I realized I had been scammed. I emailed them minutes later attempting a cancellation and refund but its doubtful this will be successful. I used a quick google search and realized too late that IVS.US is not legit.

Counterfeit Product

I ordered what were supposed to be wooden carved flags that were handmade by a disabled veteran named Ryan made in the U.S. The video was a disabled veteran with significant facial injuries alleging the flags were handmade by him in the U.S. They were high-quality beautiful images with rounded edges, hand painted etc. I was billed from and charged from some company in China then other communication in Chinese scripted then in English from some name that was not associated in anyway with what I was told. The product arrived today, it is blurry, of very low quality on particle board, with some type of plexiglass or acrylic or a blurry photo. This something you wouldn't pay $5 for the entire set. Nothing like the images and definitely not cut from quality wood and hand painted as demonstrated in the website video. A check online disclosed this was a scam company and stated that I should report it to you. Lastly, the add says California. Everything indicates this came from China.
