Fell for the adorable picture of a nicely stitched duffel bag. The website acted as if it was supporting local artists and it was handmade. I was mailed a bag that I wouldn't even pay $5 for that looks like it came from ****. The website says money back guarantee you try to contact customer service and it sends you an email from AI saying you have to call a number for your refund and once you do that that number takes you to a mailbox that will always be full. Honestly I'm surprised they went through all this trouble of actually sending a piece of **** bag and that they just didn't take my money. Like any of us would be satisfied with the dollar store version of a bag that was supposed to be handcrafted.

I tried to order a product (deer antler mounting kit) from the website that was priced at $9.99. I tried to pay with a credit card and received a message that this card type was not supported. I tried another card and got the same message. When I tried a third card, it looked like the transaction was going through, but it was never finished, and I did not authorize the payment. The next day, I found random charges on the three credit cards I had used, totalling to over $1000. Fortunately, I was able to contact my banks and cancel the cards, but this is a very scary scam that should be thoroughly investigated. The company behind this website seems to be located in the United Arab Emirates.

Bank/Credit Card Company Imposter - Zippy Loans / impostor

I was first notified by a women jenny then transfered to a guy steve who took all my banking information and told me my 5000 dollar loan is hours away, then steve transfered me to ken the financial man who then told me that they will deposit 1400 into my account becareful because what they do is deposit the night before so it clears the next day . That continued for 1 more day after looking into my deposits i noticed each check was deposited separately about 5 or 6 of them for 370.01 to 270.00. Becarefull for what they do is screenshot the check place it in your acct. With your name typed and also on the back off the check put for deposit only. So moving forward on the last day i noticed my account being charged with an amount off 370.01 3 times i called ken and told him there is something wrong with my account im negative almost 1000 dollars he told me he will take care off this issue , at this time i had already sent the 1200 for insurance this was for of i couldn't pay the loan amount back the bank is reimbursed. I actually thought everything was good especially after seeing the check deposited with this lian companies name. Then everything went to hell all these checks came back insufficient funds every single check was bad .i was mortified and really taken hard by these people i am now having them investigated . So to any one looking for a loan stau far away from these people unless you want to pay big. This whole thing has been an eye opener im writing so nobody else gets taken like i have it doesn't pay being trustworthy.

I placed an online order for a pair of shoes from a company called "Chrispifa" and never received the merchandise. After making the purchase, I became increasingly concerned that the company may not be legitimate. I have not received the shoes I paid for, and I have serious doubts about whether this is even a real or reputable business, especially when searching the address- it looks to just be an apartment complex. I am reporting this experience to warn other consumers who may come across this company while shopping online. I would encourage others to research the seller carefully before making a purchase, as I have been left without the merchandise I paid for and am concerned this may be a fraudulent online retailer.

I ordered their supplement as a one time purchase. They double charged the order the first month and then, recharged the second month. I emailed to cancel the order and was told I had a reoccurring subscription that needed to be cancelled on their website. After a serious deep dive through their website, I was FINALLY able to cancel the “subscription” which was nearly impossible to find. Now, they are attempting to charge my credit card for shipping insurance on the cancelled order. This company uses HIGHLY predatory business practices. The product is worthless when considering the ridiculous stream of charges that follow.

I complained to the company and all I got in reply was repeated form emails. I filed a dispute with PayPal but they denied my claim stating that I agreed to the purchase. I told them that I did not agree to the added tax and that it did not show up until AFTER I had paid. They denied me anyway. The company claimed they sent my shirt yet now, almost three months later I have not received it and the tracking number is bogus. In doing more research on this company I have learned that I am not the only one thats has been scammed. I did report this to Facebook and teebangs ads have been removed.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Telephone call about free cruise

Received a direct spam robocall from an individual identifying themselves as "Bonnie" from the "Orlando Promotion Center." The caller left a pre-recorded voicemail stating that I had been selected to receive a complimentary luxury cruise for two aboard Margaritaville's "The Islander" ship, including meals, a cabin, and onboard entertainment. The message claimed the offer was due to a recent vacation with partner resorts, specifically naming Hilton, Wyndham, and Holiday Inn. The caller created a false sense of urgency, stating that the promotion was almost full and positions could only be held for a limited time. I was instructed to call back at 888-941-0077 and ask for Bonnie to claim the prize. This matches the exact script of a known high-pressure vacation/timeshare marketing scam.
