Phishing - Online Survey Scam

I signed up for an account with Echochat AI when directed to their website via a social media ad link. They offer points for taking surveys and asking search questions, to "teach AI" according to their presentation. After reaching "Platinum" level of points you supposedly could cash in the points for compensation for your time. I did what was required to max my points out daily for seven days. On day seven I was very close to Platinum. That is when I could no longer access my account. The reward points vanished. A message said "you can not access your account due to a policy violation". All I did was answer survey questions honestly and ask about things of interest to me - nothing that would violate any policy. I emailed their company support but they did not respond. Also I noticed some of the ads I was seeing on social media aligned with their survey material and were tailored to my responses. So I suspect they are scamming people with a false promise of payment in order to obtain personal information to sell. Of course I cannot prove the latter, it is just my suspicion. But they did renege on their stated claim of payment for survey taking time.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

In searching for Woodwick candles, the fake Cracker Barrel website had a big sale ($6-9). This candle usually sells for at least for $20 and up. The low low sale price was hook, line, and sinker for me. On the fake website, I had entered a quantity of 2 candles, entered my address, and card information. The payment processing was taking an unusually long time. I checked the URL to look for the https which it did contain. Then the website redirected back to the payment page with red text indicating that the credit card I entered was not accepted so "enter another credit card"! But then I noticed that the Barrel in the Cracker Barrel name was misspelled in the URL. I did a search for crackerbarreell.online website to learn that it has been reported as a phishing scam website. I immediately closed the web browser and called my credit card. Thankfully in the few-minutes of the card processing, the scammers had not made any fraudulent purchases (confirmed by my credit card company while on the phone with them). Of course, I closed the card and I'll be getting a new card with a new number.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I thought I was reading a newspaper article about a crafts person in North Carolina retiring. It was plausible because the article spoke about a specific type of loom weaving that used to take place in the south. So I placed the order and then I get a text from the number I reported from somebody named James or that’s what they said their name was they were verifying that I had no apartment number in my address and I said no it’s a home and then he immediately followed up. If I acted now I could get an extra 20% off and I did a little research and found out I was being scammed so I contacted my credit card company and I’m contacting you guys as well. this man refused to cancel my order and a message to the company through their website and an email have gone unanswered.

Online Purchase - Conivenient

I saw a game on social media I wanted to buy; so I made an ApplePay transaction and purchased it from an online store “Conivenient.com”. The total was $38.38 and included the game, shipping&handling and shipping insurance. I ordered it June 13th. On July 24 I emailed wondering about where the parcel was and they assured me it was on the way but “the system might have some delays these days.” August 3rd rolls around and I sent an email that things felt like a scam and I wanted a refund. Then they proceeded to send me email after email asking for the same things over and over even though I answered all the questions over and over and also requested a refund each round of emails. It’s now August 6th and I have asked seven times for a refund and told them at least three times that the package isn’t here or anywhere. They just keep repeatedly asking me the same questions and it just straight up feels like deflection from a full refund. It’s not even that much money but they don’t deserve to keep my money when there is no product to show for it.

The vendor represents themselves as a small bakery located in Rhinebeck New York that is retiring, and they are selling handmade bees wax coated bags for preserving bread. Purchased two bags for $34.95 Upon delivery the merchandise received did not match the description. Bait and switch. The bags were lined with plastic, not bees wax. Main functional feature of preserving bread was absent. The appearance and handmade artisanal attributes described on the website were not reflected in the actual product delivered, a mass produced plastic lined bag. Contacted the merchant about getting a refund for the delivered merchandise, which the merchant responded that the item needs to be shipped back to china by me to process refund. The cost to ship the product overseas would exceed the price of the merchandise.
