I saw their ad on Facebook and thought the jacket was nice and I ordered it. It came and doesn't fit and is of poor quality. So I tried to send them an email ([email protected]) about this and they won't respond back to me. I want to return it but there was no contact information for them. I had an address in Orlando, FL - 1234 Lakeview Ave., Suite 200, Orlando, FL 32801. It was on their website and they won't respond to me. My husband took the package to the post office and the address wasn't good. I wanted to report this to warn others about them.

Online Purchase

On 9/30/26, while shopping for an RV, I came across a RV on Facebook. It had a link to a dealers websiteboonvilleautosales.com The website is really well done and looks and seems legit. I registered on the site by providing my Drivers License info. There was an RV being auctioned off with the auction ending in 10 minutes (https://boonvilleautosales.com/vehicle/274). Starting bid was $34,000. This unit would normally sell for about $80K. So, I submitted a bid for $36K, not excepting to win, however I did win the bid and received and email (attached). I was contacted that evening by someone named Brandon Hayes. He had a foreign accent. I was immediately suspicious, so I started doing some research. I called local businesses near the 320 Ashley Rd location and they had confirmed that the location was no longer an auto sales but instead a sheriffs office. When I called Brandon Hayes back and confronted him with my information, he said don't call back and hung up.

Online Purchase - Best Bunk Bed

Steve Everett advertised his company American bunkbeds on Facebook marketplace. After reaching out to him through Facebook messenger and speaking at length over the phone and via text, we contracted with him to make a set of bunkbeds that he said will be delivered in 14 business days. He asked for half of the amount as a deposit, and paying the other half upon delivery. He then began giving a string of suspicious excuses and delayed delivery four or five times over several weeks. It became apparent that this was a scam and we would never receive the bunkbed so we asked for our money back. He then never responded.

Debt Collections - Franklin & Miller

I got a voice mail from a person who identified themselves as calling from Franklin and Miller and that I am being sued in civil court for the sum of $2000 and that I am to call their office at 888--834-3981 to prevent wage garnishment and or a lien on my car. I was given a number starting with a C---------,, they went on to say that the claim has not been filed yet and someone will be showing up at my door with court paperwork. I called and gave my last name only and the person on the phone claimed to be an attorney and was very angry and short when I asked what is this about....I stated that it was a scam and that they should not contact me again..... the person got more angry...... I looked up my info for any civil suits filed and there were none. Essentially they are trying to scam people out of money by using scare tactics of court and or someone coming to your address.

Online Purchase - Scrubloop

The site looked legit. Even had reviews, detailed measurements on the clothing. I ordered 2 pairs on scrubs and after over 2 weeks of not having even a tracking number for my order, I went back to the site to just cancel my order. Then realized they don’t even have an option to cancel your order OR even return them. I started looking through the site in closer detail and ALL of their “reviews” of people wearing them are AI generated. That plus not being able to cancel or return gave me a bad feeling. I emailed the company. I’ve been back and forth with them now for a month and still have not initiated a return though they say they have. And now have marked my order as “delivered” when I in fact have not received product. I’ve already filed a report through my bank. But I just need other people to know to NOT order anything from this site so they don’t have the same experience.

I purchased a couch from TikTok. Next thing you know I looked and it said shipped from California from Jamaica, New York, 150 pound couch no way possible so I hit up TikTok and said listen. It’s a ghost store your bots can’t detect that it’s fraud I say what they normally do is put a dollar insurance whatever they say your package is lost and everything well that’s what happened. I did dispute with Cash App. I did dispute with TikTok. Also they blocked me from the Ghost store on TikTok to where I couldn’t put return merchandise, then they sent me a 50 Cent necklace. I’m still waiting to hear back from TikTok.

Online order using the company Lane Bryant for items at a cheap price. I have not received any feedback, but they took my money within seconds of placing the order. It's the purpose that they pretend to be a major retail company, and after the order is placed, their stupid name pops up showing that it's their website. I have tried to reach out through email several times, but there has been no response and there is no other contact information for them.

Phishing

I received multiple text messages claiming I had won a prize from “MrBeast.” The scammer pretended to be MrBeast and said I needed to contact an “assistant” to claim the prize. The messages came from several different phone numbers, including (562) 384-0857, (248) 342-4286, (252) 499-5375, (510) 776-xxxx, and +1 (716) 936-0969.The scammer tried to convince me to respond and follow instructions to claim a prize, which is a common impersonation scam. They attempted to get money or personal information by pretending to be a well-known public figure. I did not lose any money and did not provide any personal information. I am reporting this to help prevent others from falling for the same impersonation scam.

Phishing - McAfee Virus Protection imposter

I actually do not know what country or state the scammer is in. I received a pop-up on my pc warning about viruses in my computer. I could not leave pop-up using normal means. They sent me a text message with the number 432-289-5328 (my number is 336-392-7524). They also sent a wrong Activation Number for a McAfee PC Optimizer. The rep. in live chat could not tell me why they sent the 432 number and the false Activation Number. I requested that they refund me. I've included a photograph of my phone with the text message they sent to me.
