There was an ad on Facebook for a Father's Day gift bundle for a Cooling Solar Fan Hat which I purchased it through. Received email confirmation of purchase on 6/14/26 and new email the following day saying it had shipped. 5 days later the item hadn't arrived and there was no update on tracking so I reached out to their [email protected] email and have multiple email threads since then asking where it was, why it was constantly going back to the courier in Jacksonville, etc. It is now 9/17/26 and they have completely stopped responding to my emails and none of the tracking links they have sent now work, nor can I view my order via the link on my receipt. Now I am out $33.77 and have wasted a ton of time going back and forth with them on where my product was.

Employment - EcoPlus Power / impostor

I was asked to interview for a job that I applied to on Indeed for a renewable energy electric company by the name of EcoPlus Power. In the email, it said to contact an individual by the name of Mr. Dominic through a Signal number. I researched the company and it appeared to be legitimate even though I had doubts. Upon speaking with this individual on Signal, whose full name was Dominic D Lillie and used [email protected] as email, he told me they provided the equipment necessary for the role. The role was a $23 an hour for training very complex customer service and administrative assistant position and after training the pay rate would increase to $28. I found it odd he was messaging me late at night and then he asked for ID for verification and background check. In which we did a search and found this to be a bait and switch phishing scam.

They instructed me to move money from my Chime account to Cash App and then withdraw/transfer the funds using my card\. I was told that the money would be placed into another account the following day\. Following those instructions, I transferred approximately $4,594\.73 from my Chime account to Cash App\. I later realized that the person I had been communicating with was not a legitimate Chime representative and that I had been deceived into moving my money\. I immediately reported the matter to Chime and Cash App and provided information and documentation supporting what happened, including screenshots of my Cash App activity and communications with the person who contacted me\. I also filed a police report and provided it to Chime\. I did not knowingly authorize a scammer to take my money\.

I liked the look of the sandal from this company, so I clicked on the link, looked at the description of the sandal and felt it was a shoe I would like to purchase. Leather, orthopedic, "all day" wear shoe. What I received almost four weeks later was a cheap, non-leather, pressed foam shoe with no sole that would last a day wearing it out. The company offered me 20% refund and keep the shoe, but I would like a full refund without having to pay the $200 it would cost to ship, according to them.

The company is listed on the info on the bottom of their website as being in Boston, but when I reviewed the return policy, the return address that's given is in China (!), and returns are not free. They also only accept returns that they deem to be their fault, as in defective materials. The fact that the bra i ordered (in the correct size according to their size chart) didn’t fit me correctly is apparently my fault. They also don't have a customer service phone number, only an email. Clearly they have no intention of being a reputable company!

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - One Flight International

Mark Dismuke a Vice President contacted me on numerous occasions by phone and by email to solicit money under false pretenses. He offered dollar for dollar matching flight funds for each dollar I wired to One Flight Intl. The matching dollars were then moved to a separate account that I was unable to access. When I demanded a refund of my cash deposits, my emails went unanswered. My funds were used in a Ponzi like scheme to pay for the flights of earlier investors. Mark Dismuke knew the company was in financial trouble and could never honor the matching funds offered to solicit new cash deposits, but he offered them anyway. Multiple times I emailed demands for my money back and received nothing. The entire business was a big Ponzi scheme.

I sent $35 of it through Zelle to an account I figured was his/hers. I then get a message the next day that they were being shipped and they needed my shipping information which I provided. Then I was told I would need to send $110 for insurance on the live animals. A bit later they then told me the crate was not sufficient, and I could buy or rent a crate. I said I would rent it send sent $299. Both times they told me I would get the money back upon delivery of the ducks. I was then contacted back and told they need $250 for custom stamps due to live animals. I sent that but was starting to question it. Then I got another message that said they needed $300 more to secure livestock permit from the city and transfer of name, ie adoption fee. I told them I was not sending anymore, the city does not require that for delivery and they need to return my money and send the ducks back. I contacted the seller and he said they are reliable and he would send $100 of the $300 needed. I did not send any more money. I don't believe the ducks were ever available, they were never taken to any shipping company, and I was never getting any ducks.

Employment - Gridhaus Studio

Annie first contacted me through Messenger and we went through an initial training. You are to complete two sets of forty tasks, which are basically clicking on a product in order to give it better visibility when someone is Googling that type of product. At the end of tasks, you get paid. US dollars are exchanged to bitcoins or crypto currency and then through Cash app the money is reconverted to USD and you withdraw from Cash App. The second day our texting went through WhatsApp with her using a different phone number, 660-227-2525. Continued training and second day received $120 salary. The issue came when a task wasn't just a task but was called a bundle or similar name. That meant you had two or more products presented and it required a payment from me to continue. At first the amount was reasonable. I would have to deposit through CashApp the funds, which were converted to bitcoins and were deposited into my account and converted back to dollars. That was fine because when I finished my tasks I would get paid and that money would be returned. The fifth day came and I received a $1000 salary. I started doing my tasks and received a $22,000+ Anniversary bonus. Yeah! But I hit one bundle that required about $1,000. Then another bundle requiring about $3,000. Annie was elated and told me how lucky I was as when I cashed out it would be over $30,000! The very last task was another bundle requiring nearly $7,000 which I did not have. I tried negotiating. Maybe use the bonus against the $7,000? Nope. Since she told me she would make 20% on my commissions, I asked her to front the money and I would pay her back. She said the best she could do was $1,000. I asked if the task could be changed to a non-bundle, or maybe just get my $4,000 back and part ways, but no. When I told her goodbye and that negative reviews would be forthcoming, she wrote, "Your inability to complete the task is due to personal reasons, not company responsibility. Your funds are securely held in your account. If you spread false information or make misrepresentations, the company's legal team may pursue legal action against you for defamation or other legal consequences." Everything I've written is true and can be backed up through texts and screenshots, so I'm pretty sure the 1st Amendment covers me. Some red flags. One, everything was to be kept secret. I wasn't to tell my wife or friends about this amazing opportunity. Warned about possibly having to pay a 37% tax. Another flag was the GRIDHAUS Team chat that has 32 members, but no discussions except when I was having a problem, then others were on the chat sharing their experiences and that they did not doubt the system anymore. I contacted one of the members and he responded in Spanish, even though having the same area code as mine. Another who got a big paycheck, when I asked her about it, was very gruff in her reply. "Yes, I made almost $20,000, and I won a big jackpot. Do you have a problem with that?" Maybe this isn't a scam, but I'll never know since I don't have $7,000 to see. I have reached out to the CEO and COO of Gridhaus Studio but haven't heard back. I noticed the other reports about Annie Corbin and her ties to Nexxen. Interestingly, I looked up Nexxen and under Careers it gives a scam notice and one thing it said is that it never requires a payment. Go very cautiously.

This is a pyramid scam. The more money you “deposit” the more “commission” you earn. For instance. You are required to deposit $25 through crypto and you earn a 30% commission of that $25 and keep it as a profit. However, that’s the first easy task you complete upon being “hired”. The next days tasks get more expensive and rise to $250 to be deposited with a profit of 30% commission. Until the next thing you know you’re depositing $5000 and then all of a sudden they place holds and stipulations on your account when you go to withdraw your funds because you “took too long” to make the deposit or you read the 5 step directions wrong to withdraw the funds and then get placed on a “bad reputation list” in which you have to pay even more money to get taken off that list and can’t get your funds until that deposit is made. And the list goes on and on with excuse after excuse when nothing was ever disclosed in the beginning about all these stipulations. And no matter how hard you fight or how much you pay. They still have a back up ready to keep your money.

So I order some lip gloss from this company and it took a little over 3 weeks before I heard anything. It seems like every time I checked the location of my order it stated it was in transition. I then reached out to the company via email because they have no number listed, and they tell me, I can see it’s out for delivery just be patient. Later on that night around 9pm I noticed the order is now marked as delivered so I go check my mailbox, noticed nothing is at my door, checked my neighbors homes just in case it was delivered to the wrong place. After doing all of this I reach back out and since then I continue to get a generic “we’re sorry someone will be in touch with you soon” email. Not only did they steal my money, I’m sure they’re stealing plenty others money and probably personal information as well.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase - Visa UK ETA

On Sept 1, 2026 I visited VisaUKETA.com in search for a Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for our (my wife and I) trip to Scotland starting Sept 30, 2026. On Sept 1, 2026, I used their website to apply for our 2 UK ETAs. I provided the scam website with photos of our faces and our passports, contact information, and credit card information to pay. Their website looks suspiciously similar to the UK government website that offers official UK ETAs. The company’s website uses ETA branding/logo, the UK flag, official-looking design, and a name that strongly suggests an official UK ETA government service. This created a misleading impression and I honestly thought I was dealing with the UK government website. It is a very deceptive service. They do not mention the service fee. When I was reconciling my credit card statement I noticed a charge of $443.41 to a company named OLINETRAVELPE UKE Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This was 468% higher than the $78 the ETA should have been if the 2 ETAs had been purchased through the UK government. On Sept 15, our trip was less than 15 days away, I still had not received our ETAs from this deceptive company, so I was getting nervous, I googled the company and found many complaints and claims that it was likely a SCAM. So that same day, I emailed them to ask for a full refund saying that I had NOT received the 2 ETAs. I noted their claim on their preliminary email when I applied that "Once you complete your application, you will receive a confirmation email, and it will be processed with high priority. You will receive the result via email within the guaranteed time." I told them that since we had not received our ETAs in 14 days since applying, I do not feel our ETAs have been processed in "HIGH PRIORITY". I also told them I had proceeded to buy authentic ETAs through the UK government for $78 Cdn that had been processed and received by us in just minutes. After a number of emails between the company I - they basically said your case has been reviewed, the service charged is non-refundable and that our case was considered closed. I should mention that surprisingly I received an email from the company with approved Electronic Travel Document the same day as I starting complaining. Wasn't that convenient timing!!! And it wasn't even a electronic ETA thus I would not have known if it was valid until the passports were checked when we arrived in Scotland, at a port of entry. Only after completing the payment of $443.41 did I discover that this was actually a private third-party intermediary charging a substantial additional service fee on top of the official $78 ETA fee. I believe this represents a lack of transparency and a misleading business practice, as the company did not make its private intermediary status and additional service charges sufficiently clear before I made the payment. Bottom line - DO NOT deal with these crooks! Buy your UK ETA from the official UK Government website.

Online Purchase

they shipped an entirely different product than what was advertised as being for sale. This company is flooding FB and other sites such as advertisements on the games we play on our phones and tablets. I see their ad's daily and they are totally a scam . they offer these huge beautiful Mums that are shown beside the front doors in large urns and they are suppose to be Reg priced at $61.98 but reduced 70% to $15.98 + $6.99 shipping. they say where they are shipping from just the support email and mentions eastern time zone at the very bottom of their website but no phone numbers. the website and ad's even show a video of a woman placing the HUGE bouquet of mums into her knee high Along with what could only be fake reviews. What they send is 5 tiny stems that are only 6 inches tall !!! these are $.75 stems from any dollar store or Michaels stores! total scam. I tried emailing them 5 x trying to get my money back or just the items I actually paid for but the responses were the same just offering a 20%, then 40 % refund and NEVER EVER mentioning or apologizing for NOT shipping what I ordered! I am going to alert PayPal that they should NEVER let this company offer paypal as payment. these ad's are infuriating and total FALSE Advertising.

Need a tire replacement for my suv. The tech put a tire 2 sizes smaller than my tire. It was done in my driveway so when i came outside to look the tech was gone! I called for 16 days for a refund finally every day the company kept saying it's coming or check bank & see what's the hold up. Finally i did in fact called the bank,explained everything that happen & disputed the transaction. Horrible business & shame on the tech that it was ok to put a smaller tire on my car.

Received email sale offer from Bath& BodyWorks(in hindsight, this is not the correct name of Bath & Body Works} Ordered items and paid with bank credit/debit card to a Paypal account for Satiria Bayu Kurniawa. I have not received my order and, needless to say, the website and email{[email protected]} or {[email protected]} can no longer be reached. Last communication on 7/29/26 indicated that my order was being shipped. Don't be gullible like me, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is not.
