Counterfeit Product - Think Pink Warrier

I wanted to support Breast Cancer awareness. I ordered two items of clothing from Think Pink Warrior. It took almost three weeks to arrive with very little updates. The items of clothing had no labels designating fabric type, with good reason and the transfer design was faded. I tried to call but could not get through. I messaged and emailed getting no response. I strongly believe this company is a fraud.

Online Purchase - Stately men

Paid company for an elite clothing package that came with a stylist. I needed help with work clothing. What I received was shorts and polos that looked like clearance items for the summer time. When I confronted company they said they dont issue refunds but would get me another stylist and try again. I received 2nd box which contained items I didnt ask for like a $350 sport coat (specifically asked them to not send that. Their calls are all recorded). The rest of the box again was filled with cheap looking clearance type clothing. Again I asked for a refund and they denied it, instead offering store credit to purchase clothes off their online rack store. First of all, that is not what i signed up for, second, they items on the website look nothing like wjat they advertised to me when I made original purchase. To add to that, they don't have anything in my size. I feel as though this is a “bait and switch” type of company. So I decided to pick items from the online store. I received them yesterday and the shirts smelled like spoiled milk. I’m not making this up. I reached out to Stately and they still wouldnt offer a refund. Just more store credit. Please stay away. I can’t believe I fell for this.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Relay Wire / Web Envy / Med Pulse Fake Invoice Phishing and Identity Theft Scam

We received a fax from fax number: 231-385-1406 and it was an invoice from Med Pulse at the address listed above, for secure fax routing and encryption services we didn't order, use or even inquire about. We never heard of them or communicated with anyone from this company or address before. Or even this service type before. Suspecting its a scam, we looked up name and address for information and came across a lot of reports of scams coming out of that address. Also noticed someone reporting one on your site and decided to report as well so it's known this is still going on. I have attached a copy of the faxed scam invoice we received.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I bought two pairs of men's shorts. The picture of the shorts were completely different from what I received. There were supposed to be belts included. The shorts were nylon, way too small, with some weird orange label that wasn't in the description. Other than that orange patch, there were no other identifiable marking, no size, fabric, and very, very cheaply made. I paid over 50$ for both. The shipping label is the only information I have because I tried looking up the website again, and it doesn't come up. It was shipped by GOFO. Although the label says it came from NY, I believe the seller was from overseas. The reference number on the shipping label is *****************

Phishing

On 9-9-26, I received an incoming phone call from what appeared to be Wells Fargo. The caller ID displayed the same 1-800 number listed on Wells Fargo's official website, which is why I did not question the legitimacy of the call. The caller informed me that fraud had been detected on my account and offered to walk me through the steps to secure it. During the call, I was asked to provide a one-time verification code. That verification code arrived via the same Wells Fargo SMS message thread I normally receive legitimate account updates and alerts from, which further convinced me the request was authentic. After I provided the code, I believe the caller gained unauthorized access to my online banking. Shortly thereafter, I discovered unauthorized transfers had been made from my account: Funds were moved to Cash App Funds were then sent to an unknown debit card As a result, $3000.00 was removed from my account without my authorization. I did not authorize any person to access my online banking, initiate transfers to Cash App, or send funds to a third-party debit card. I am requesting a full fraud investigation and reimbursement of the unauthorized transactions.

Online Purchase - Drift

I had prreviously purchased from this company. I didn't like the product and had a hard time canceling my "subscription". Several months later I saw another ad and told them that if I could make a one-time purchase, I would. I made the purcase and several months later they notified me that "my order was being processed". I replied, "No, I don't want it and won't pay for it". They replied that they would cancel my "subscription", but since the order was already being processed, they would not cancel it. I have since disputed the charge with my bank and used the return shipping label they finally provided to ship the product back to them. This is, in my opinion, a really shady way to do business and if I hadn't spent hours sending emails, talking to my bank, etc., I would just be out $55 for a product I NEVER ORDERED.

Online Purchase

I used website https://coopersgrassfedbeef.com/ to place my order. I was then contacted with an order form by email. When I tried contacting business by phone I got voice for a couple of seconds and the line disconnected and the business started texting me. We went back and forth and the business wanted a deposit as stated on the website using Zelle. I sent a payment of $500.00 to the requested recipient and it seemed to go through. However, in the next text the person with the business wanted me to use a different recipient that he said would be better. I canceled the first transaction and sent it to the other and then was told to wait. When it came time for next payment, I was given yet another recipient and tried to Zelle money there. The payment was blocked by Chase fraud dept. saying that contact was 1 day old and asked if I had met the person face to face. I said no and they blocked the transaction. After this, the business told me to use the original Zelle account, again I was contacted by Chase fraud dept. telling me that account was only 6 months old and had no other transactions like mine on it. I canceled that transaction. Things got tense when I asked for a physical address and I said that I would just come give him cash and pick up the order. He would not speak to me on the phone or do a video call. Thanks to Chase, I only lost $500.00 and the business has not answered any texts since.

I was trying to get my phone unlocked from my carrier to switch to a new carrier. I was told by a customer service member when I called MetroPCS that they couldnt unlock my phone but that this website expressunlocks.com could. I went to the website and they said their service would cost 24.99. I paid that and then after a few minutes they notified me that my phone was eligible to be unlocked but i had to pay another $55.99 to unlock my phone and the 24.99 was an eligiblity check.. I paid the extra 55.99 and waited for 8hours and they sent me unlock codes that my phone couldnt accept. They said that they could give me credit towards another type of unlock service they provided since that one doesnt work but that i would have to pay more.. I asked them if u had my IMEI number and my carrier and checked for my Eligibility wouldnt u know whether or not this would work and i want my money back.. the chat support went silent and they havent responded to me at all. I looked for an email on their website and the only email listed is one that says for prior to service questions only. I went online to look for a phone number and they gave me the phone number 8324297415.. i called that number for 3 days and finally someone answered and said that this wasnt express unlocks this was John and to file a BBB report because he gets calls like this all the time and the "service/website" is a scam. I also called MetroPCS back and asked them why they would refer me there and they took a whole statement and gave me $20 credit because there employees are not supposed to do that.

Employment - Aequilibrium Impostor

I was contacted by individuals claiming to represent Aequilibrium Inc. regarding a remote Account Executive position. The initial recruitment email came from [email protected] and identified the recruiter as Ava Hall, Talent Acquisition Specialist. I was instructed to schedule an interview with an individual identifying herself as Dr. Grace Wilson, Hiring Manager, through Microsoft Teams. I completed the interview process through Microsoft Teams and subsequently received an employment offer letter using Aequilibrium's name and branding. The offer stated that I would be paid $55 per hour, or $2,200 per 40-hour week. During the Teams conversation, I was also told that the Account Executive position had a 50/50 base/variable compensation structure, 10% commission on new ARR, and quota accelerators. As part of what I believed was a legitimate employment onboarding process, I provided sensitive personal information, including a copy of my government-issued ID, my Social Security number, home address, and a completed W-4. I did not provide banking information or send any money. I later discovered significant inconsistencies indicating that the individuals contacting me may be impersonating the legitimate Aequilibrium company. Most notably, the recruitment communications came from [email protected] rather than an Aequilibrium corporate email domain. The employment offer also contained unfinished template language in the benefits section, and the compensation information in the written offer did not match the commission structure communicated through Microsoft Teams. I am reporting this because my personal identifying information was obtained through what appears to be a fraudulent employment recruitment/onboarding process using Aequilibrium's name. I have since frozen my credit reports with all three major credit bureaus, placed a fraud alert, and obtained an IRS Identity Protection PIN. I have retained the emails, Microsoft Teams communications, and employment offer letter as evidence.

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

I enrolled in a health plan and was charged 362.95 for a monthly basis plan, I was told I’d receive the health insurance cards by mail with 10-15 days. I was charged on 08/31 and transaction was posted 9/1 and today’s the 16th of September and haven’t received anything by mail. I was notified via email that they attempted to charge me again, for the month of October being in mid of September. I haven’t received the cards for the service I paid for and they’re attempting to charge me the same amount for each month. I called and canceled and asked for a refund, they were only able to send an email for cancellation but not a refund. I attempted to cancel and get refund and they tried to convince me with another made up alternative but I was firmly told them I want my money back and I want to cancel. I reported it to my bank as well.
