Phishing - Phishing

I received a phishing email impersonating a cloud storage provider. The email falsely claimed that my payment method had expired and that my cloud storage account had been disabled. It warned that all of my photos and videos would be permanently deleted unless I renewed my subscription immediately. The email used urgent language such as: * "Your Cloud Storage Needs Your Attention" * "Payment method has expired" * "Your Cloud Storage has been Disabled" * "We were unable to renew your Cloud Storage" * "Final notice: your data will be deleted. Your account has been blocked. All your photos and videos will be deleted today." The message contained a "RENEW NOW" button that directed users to a phishing website hosted on the domain: newspotlight.live The phishing links included obfuscated tracking information and appeared designed to steal account credentials or payment information by impersonating a legitimate cloud storage service. The email was sent from a Hotmail account using the display name "CIoudMemberShip," where an uppercase "I" was substituted for the lowercase "l" in the word "Cloud" to make the sender appear more legitimate. Technical research showed that the phishing domain was recently registered and that the website resolves to IP address 208.115.214.134. The infrastructure appears to be associated with a hosting network connected to Limestone Networks. I did not click through to provide personal information or payment details and I did not lose any money. I am reporting this scam to help warn other consumers and assist organizations working to identify and remove phishing websites before additional people become victims.

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product - Berberine Weight Loss Patches

I was misled into ordering 20 boxes for $186.20. All the boxes are individually securely sealed and inside there is a secured foil bag that holds the plastic containers containing 7 days of stamps. It was after opening the first and only box I oped, that I saw that the weight loss patches were the size of a stamp! I did not order these! I wore 1 patch under my belly button for 8 hours the first day then the 2nd patch for 2 hours. I had to remove it because I was having an allergic reaction to the adhesive on the patch! It caused a rash and was very itchy!I contacted their company email over 11 times requesting a full refund because I was misled during my ordering, didn't receive the product that was advertised and I had a health risk when wearing it. Also, I'm well within the 60 day money back guarantee!! They totally ignored my situation then offered me a 30% refund.I refused and again asked them for a full 100% money back guarantee, a RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) code and their address to mail it back to. I even offered to pay the shipping! I'm still being ignored so I'm calling my Credit Card company and disputing the charge. Now I have 19 unopened, securely sealed stamp size patches to sell at a garage sale I guess! My picture of the patches won't attach to this page because it's too large but trust me this company is not to be trusted because they will keep your money, refuse the return boxes siting a health risk to their shelves and ignore your emails! I'm not backing down though! Don't you either!

On the filmed commercial, a woman shows a quilted basket and remarks how soft and beautiful it is. The description says the word "quilted" repeatedly and the product appears substantial, attractive and 3-dimensional. But the item sent is just a photo image of quilted fabric superimposed over stiff canvas-like material. There is no quilting whatsoever. What you receive is a cheap knockoff that's useless.

This website/company claims to be in Arizona but when I tried to contact them about my order I found out that they are actually in Hong Kong. When I contacted them to cancel the order they claimed it had already shipped. They said to get a refund I would have to wait until it delivered and then pay to return it, when they received it back they would issue a refund. It took two weeks after I contacted them that it delivered to get them to give me the return instructions. When I googled the address they gave me for their "return warehouse" google showed a picture of a Burger King restaurant. I filed a dispute with my credit Card company. They need to be reported.

I purchased Parivie as a gift for my mother. The company bills on a recurring basis. The initial charge went through on October 4, 2025. An additional charge went through on December 4, 2025. At this point, I realized it was a recurring subscription and cancelled my membership. A past due balance letter was received on May 26, 2026, regarding a past due balance for a charge on January 4, 2026, which was a month after my subscription was cancelled. I called on June 5, 2026, and spoke with Rosh Aguilar, who informed me that I was receiving this past due balance letter for a charge that was processed on December 4, 2026. I reviewed my credit card statement and saw I was charged a total of 112.81 on December 4, 2025, from Parivie. I informed the agent of the billing charge and confirmation on my end, which should also be reflected on their end. I proceeded to confirm the cancellation date of my subscription, and he then stated this is a charge for January 4, 2026. How is it possible to be charged for something a month after cancellation? He then proceeded to tell me that the amount was still due. After several minutes of communication, he stated that, as a courtesy, they would be able to remove the charge and update my account, removing the January payment due. I asked for written confirmation, which he was unable to provide. While this was not a large amount of money due to the scamming tactics provided by Parivie should be reported to assist others who are looking for this service.

Online Purchase

We purchased a product from this seller and were provided with a supposed shipping confirmation from [email protected]. The seller claimed that the package was shipped via USPS and provided a tracking number as proof. Upon verification, the tracking number provided is not a valid USPS tracking number and cannot be found within the USPS tracking system. Despite being informed of this issue, the seller continues to claim that USPS is responsible for the missing shipment. This is not an isolated incident. The seller has provided invalid shipping information on three separate occasions, each time claiming that the product was shipped when there is no evidence that USPS ever received the package. Based on the repeated use of invalid tracking information, the inability to verify shipment through USPS, and the seller's continued refusal to provide legitimate shipping documentation, we believe this may be a deliberate attempt to misrepresent shipment status and avoid fulfilling customer orders. Key Facts: • Seller claims package was shipped via USPS. • Tracking number provided is not a valid USPS tracking number. • USPS has no record of the shipment. • This has occurred three separate times. • Seller continues to blame USPS despite no evidence the package was ever shipped. • Product has never been received. We are requesting a full refund and further investigation into the seller's business practices.

This concerns Shopify and a merchant who sells watches through Shopify. The latter deceptively uses the name “Specht & Sohne” and its copyright symbol on its website. Unless you notice the online address, there is no way to tell that you are visiting a site intentionally designed to deceive. Based on a Chat I had with a Shopify representative on June 1, 2026. Shopify will do no more than tell me to contact the company that issued my credit card. Shopify refuses to acknowledge any responsibility, first, with regard to the deceptive practices of merchants using their website and, second, with regard to persons who were mislead using their website to make purchases. On the website of the Official Specht & Sohne, there is a SCAM ALERT at the top of the screen which identifies dishonest online addresses used by the merchant.

Tech Support

On 9/3/22, a message came up on my computer screen blocking me from doing anything. It contained a phone number that I called and they claimed to be tech support. I they installed more than one program that they said was to protect my computer. They also got me to sign a contract for a subscription to a program that was supposed to be protective of my computer. They had me write a check for $299 and scan it. Then, they ended up getting me for a total of $1047. I still have the picture of the check on my computer and a copy of the fraudulent contract. At the time, I didn't realize that I was being scammed. Then, on 11/7/25, they called me saying that there would be a charge if wanted to continue the service, but if I wanted to cancel it, they collect no further money. I told them that I wished to cancel their service but they refused unless they got thousands more to do it per the contract. I repeatedly told that I wanted to cancel it to no avail. The representative on the phone was rude and even told me to "Shut up and listen!" Since that time I have received numerous calls from them regarding this situation and the number they call from keeps changing. I have gotten to the point where I just simply delete the messages that they leave me. It is easy to tell it is them because, man or woman, they all have a heavy Indian accent. Since 2022, I have not and will not give them a single cent more. I hope that they will be found, arrested, and imprisoned once and for all so that they can no longer prey on innocent people like me.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Vacation Package Scam

My husband and I received an invitation in the mail to attend an event locally (a spouse or partner was required) called the 2026 Sebring Luxury Travel Show. It said "Join us for a fun filled travel, cruise and adventure showcase." In exchange we were to receive a "complimentary 3, 5 or 7-night cruise for two adults aboard our choice of major cruise lines." It said it even included complimentary airfare. It also said "The first 50 callers would receive a $100 dining savings card valid at establishments such as Longhorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Chili's Bar & Grill, and many more." I was told when I called to make a reservation for this event that I was part of that first 50 callers and would receive the $100 dining savings card. We attended the event where the salesperson claimed the company was a member of the BBB and had an excellent rating. He stated any complaints or problems were always immediately addressed. It was a high-pressure event and people were told if they did not sign up for membership that day that they would lose most of the benefits. He showed us a list that had many benefits to signing up and if signing up the next day or later, there was almost nothing listed. We do not like to make quick decisions and, especially, when we don't know enough about the company. They wanted $12,993 for a membership that was supposed to be for life with an annual fee that could be transferred to a family member if you passed away. On the info sheet it said, "Travel Destination International." I cannot find anything on line under that name. The sheet we were given for the "free" cruise lists Majestic Adventures on it with a website of www.majesticadven.com." When I go to that website, I can get very little information. To look to see what "free" cruises, etc. are available, you cannot get anywhere without making an upfront payment. We were supposed to receive, by email within 5 days, a gift certificate for Amazon. That has never been received. If you call the phone number listed, you get a recorded message saying you must go to the website and press the "contact us" button. You can leave a typed message there. The free dinner coupon is pretty much useless and does not include any of the restaurants they claim are available.

I was first contacted about a remote job opportunity through what appeared to be a legitimate agency, which led me to troopwhaleapp.com. The role involved simple app rating tasks, and initially, I was able to withdraw small amounts of money, which built my confidence. Over time, I was introduced to something called “combos,” where I had to put in more money to unlock higher returns. It seemed structured in a way that made me believe the next round would finally pay off. However, the required amounts kept increasing, and I found myself investing more and more. Despite constant reassurance from customer service and group chats showing others’ “profits,” I was never able to recover my funds. Looking back, the signs were all there — crypto-only transactions, WhatsApp communication, and overly polished systems. I was in a vulnerable position, and it clouded my judgment until it was too late.

I should have looked deeper because I ended up being a parcel mule. I was told I would receive $4300 base pay, $20 bonus for no errors. I would receive packages, check them for damages, take pictures and print off labels and ship them through FedEx or UPS. After the first 30 days they said I would receive my first payment and would thereafter be paid every two weeks. What made me look deeper into it was, 10 days away from payday, I was told they had another position available for me and said I would be a personal shopper of sorts and ship off the packages. I would have to use MY credit card for the first transaction (which had to be $1100) and then they would mail me a “COMPANY Credit Card”. After THAT phone call I decided to look a little bit deeper into it and saw that others had been taken advantage of.

So if you received this message and you have not received a red folder or green folder of documents in the mail, you need to contact me in my office as soon as possible. Now, I will have a notary in the office later today to sign and stamp all paperwork. Now, I do understand that this message is somewhat vague, but at the same time, I don't feel comfortable leaving results of a private matter on a voicemail box that can be overheard by a third party or another person. So once again, this is Donovan. I'm leaving the office about 90 minutes earlier than usual today for my daughter's soccer tournament, which actually begins later this afternoon. So again, when you receive this message, just reach out to me and I'm gonna explain everything to you in a simple way for you to understand and obviously make the best decision. Take care.

Employment - Freight Metro

I received a phone call from the number listed about a job offer. I called back and she “interviewed” me as if it was a real job. I was a bit skeptical because I did not remember applying to the role but it didn’t seem too suspicious considering I’ve been applying to all different jobs and roles. What made it clear that the role may not be real was the instant job offer and the amount of money I would receive in a month. I played along until I could do my own research and found out that it was indeed a scam. She emailed me my job offer and it went straight to the scam likely folder which made it even more noticeable that it was a scam. Im glad I listened to myself before sending any of my information out to these scam artist.

Online Purchase - Bills Garage Door

Business says they are locally owned and operated but they only have a dispatch number and send out someone to work on your garage. There’s no one to actually speak to regarding issues/customer service. There’s no physical address or local location. The person they sent out claimed they fixed the garage door and preferred cash. They stated it would be an extra 100$ for a credit card fee. We paid 533$ in cash and then later realized the garage door was not fixed. We could not get ahold of anyone to fix it or give us our money back. We now have to hire someone else to come fix it.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Publishers Clearing House / PCH / impostor

Rec'd video call on my personal cell. Person said I was the winner of $12.5 million with Publishers Clearing House because I always paid my bills on time and frequent Walmart or CVS - stated I needed to go to the store to collect a Claimant Card to give the individuals delivering a check # .... with a Mercedes Benz - NO Taxes will be paid on this prize.

Online Purchase - Mooyius

Purchased a dress over a month ago - was told it would take 2 weeks. Received it and tried to return it, as it is too late to use it AND it is too small. Tried to find a return label and only found a return policy with a website - QR code only showed return policy. Went to site, and chat that was provided. They would not direct me to print a return label - the dress was in perfect condition. Then they told me that I should have a 'tech' call - but I asked to speak via email. They told me to fill out an application that would charge me $5 (that they claimed was refundable) to speak with anyone, and then the chat closed so that I could not ask additional questions. The phone number on the site is not operational and looks to be overseas. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN. And I will be sure to post this experience all over social media. They are crooks.
