Bellemont Sisters is presented as a woman owned boutique in the US and gives no indication it is a foreign entity. The clothes pictured are not what is being sold. This is a scam website selling clothes manufactured in some "Asian" factory. I ordered 2 shirts and when they arrived, they were clearly shipped from an Asian entity with no receipt or order information included. In fact, the shirts had no tags other than a small size "S" marker. I used the email provided to start what is advertised on the site as "100% money back" return and received an email from "Claire and Olivia" stating they were a small business owners and were very sorry but needed a reason for return and a picture showing the merchandise in original condition. I provided both. I then received the following email, which talked about Terms of Service which alluded to terms that in no way matched the terms of service provided on the website. In fact, the terms of service on the website do not even mention returns. In fact, the website says easy 100% money back returns within 30 days. I included a picture showing this. Subject: Re: Question about order Thank you for reaching out. We're sorry the quality didn't meet your expectations. We care deeply about every piece we send out. Just a little reminder that when you completed your purchase with us, you agreed to our Terms of Service and policies, and we want to make sure we work within those guidelines while still finding the best solution for you! We completely understand that the item may not have met your personal standard, and we've considered your situation. To make this right in the most convenient way, we'd love to offer you a replacement. You're welcome to choose a different item, even one of slightly higher value, for just a $10 shipping contribution per item. For example, if your original item was $10, you may select a $20 item at no additional cost. If the replacement exceeds that range, only the price difference would apply. This option also helps you avoid the hassle and cost of an international return, as all returns are processed through our warehouse in Asia, which can be quite costly. As a reminder, per our Terms of Service that you agreed to at checkout: On Product Appearance: Color and shade variations are a natural part of online shopping due to differences in screen calibration and lighting — slight differences do not constitute a product defect. On Product Expectations: Personal preference differences do not qualify for a return or refund outside of our standard policy. We truly want you to walk away happy! Please let us know your preferred replacement, and we'll take care of everything right away. Kind regards, Claire and Olivia

Mini Dachshound Companions, which I found on an ad in Facebook, was looking to home a puppy. I conracted this breeder thru messanger. I offered her $200. She accepted. I specifically asked her if the $200 was t he funal cost; no extra fees or costs of any kind? Final amount. She ensured me that was correct. She asked for the money, in advance, to hold the dog. I agreed. I tried to Zelle it to her, but Zelle told me her Zelle accpunt wasnt activated. I told the breeder. I finally agreed to get her an Apple gift card instead. I took pictures of the gift card, front and back and sent to her. She got it and cashed it immediately. The breeder, her name is Shameeka Appleton, said she would bring the puppy to me "gladly". The day before we were supposed to get the pup, the breeder said yhat they had to go out of town for the weekend, this was friday. She said she was having the puppy deliveted to us by a delery service. I got a text from this delivery service asking me for $650 deposit for a crate for the pup to be deliveted! I contacted the breeder, very upset. She wanted ME to cover the cost. I do not have that kind of money. I told her that that was an extra cost that she assured me would not be asked of me. I reminded her that the first question I had asked her was what the final cost was. That told me theee would be no additional money asked from me. She sa I d "she didnt know" and she was as suprised as me. She said she would give them $500 if I covered the other $150. At first I agreed. But then my husband said no more money. He thinks the whole thing is a scam. All I asked from this breeder was my $200 deposit back. I've given her my phone to Zelle me. I have'nt heard a word back from her for 6 days now. She isnt answering my messages and no money has been sent to my Zelle .

Online Purchase

I had to constantly ask for shipping updates as they never updated from the original point of purchase. After 3 weeks of no updates I asked for a refund and they declined. The dresses finally arrived after weeks of no information, and smelled horrible, were made with cheap fabric, and are different in sizes than listed in their size guide. When I emailed support they told me to pay for shipping back to China when their return policy states that their company would pay for it with defective items. They offered me 10% of my original payment if I send it back and I pay for postal/shipping. I now have lost $110 dollars and have 2 dresses that I will never use due to their poor quality and defects.

Tax Collection - Active Relief Assistance

see attached:

Hello, this is Sydney from Active Relief Assistance calling from 877-712-1612.

I am following up on a notification regarding the back tax balance that has been flagged for potential reduction. We've been seeing a lot of success lately with the new penalty abatement programs.

And I wanted to see if we could apply that to your situation to lower your monthly obligation.

This isn't a debt collection call. It's more about exploring the settlement options the government has released this quarter.

Please reach out to our main office at 877-712-1612 when you have a moment. Just ask for the resolution department and mention my name, Sydney.

We can pull up the guidelines for you and see exactly where you stand.

Thank you.
