Description
I am writing to report a fraudulent online transaction involving a company called BetterThreadsOutfits, located at 2801 Ocean Park Blvd, Torrance, CA 90405. On August 16, 2025, I made an online purchase through a Facebook advertisement that appeared to be from Trader Joe’s, offering a “Trader Joe’s Bundle Package” for $11.49. I placed my order and was charged that amount on my bank card. However, on August 19, 2025, the same company charged my account an additional $72.40 without my knowledge or authorization. I did not consent to any subscription or further purchase. After discovering the unauthorized charge, I immediately contacted my Credit Union, which has since issued me a new bank card and is currently investigating the issue. I also sent an email to the company at [email protected], but have not received a response. I believe this company is engaging in fraudulent and deceptive practices by impersonating Trader Joe’s and charging consumers unauthorized amounts. I request that the BBB investigate this business and take appropriate action to prevent others from being scammed. Please let me know if you need any supporting documents such as receipts, screenshots, or bank statements.
