Hi Resilia, Looks like you charged me for a second unauthorized purchase of your product, OIL OF OREGANO 6000MG WITH BLACK SEED OIL, and charged me again, $79.99! If this is the case, and you again charge me a second time, I need you to send me a return label and a refund of this unauthorized purchase as soon as possible!.. If I need it again, I will buy it again from you, but for your company to resend another purchase without my consent is unacceptable, and that's a violation of trust without you asking me first!. Please respond if you sent me a second order of the same product twice, and charged me a second time for it, and what you're going to do about it!.. That is a breach of trust by your company that you at least send me an email and ask me if I need to replenish the item I ordered the first time. Thank you, and waiting for your response, P**** **** ***** ***** ** *****

No, Emma, I want the whole $79.99 back!
This was not a mistake, but your company!! This was an unauthorized purchase, and that's not acceptable!.. So you're telling me that there is no return label to send me? My trust in your company has been broken, and now I know that your company can't be trusted!.. I want my money back because I tried to stop you with an email sent to you 3 days before on 2/6/26! Your company charged my credit card Visa on 2/9/26 charging me 3 day after!. I know you received my e- mail on 2/6/26 because your company sent me a REFERENCE NO. the same day I sent the e-mail. The reference no. on 2/6/ 26 is: 4*********6. You charged me on my Credit card on 2/9/26, 3 days after you received the email. 2/6/36 at 10:24 am, Friday morning is when I sent my email to you, then you charged my credit card on 2/9/26, which fell on a Monday, that was 3 days after!.. That should have given your company enough time to cancel this unauthorized purchase. So, find a way to send me a Return Label, or pay back my full price!.. If your company is an honest company, you would take the loss instead of me! It wasn't my mistake, but I was able to send my email to you 3 days ahead of time before your company charged me!! Waiting for your response, thank you. (50 refund for your company's error is unacceptable)!

I am filing a complaint against an online retailer for deceptive business practices, false advertising, and refusal to honor their stated return policy.
I purchased a product from this company based on images and videos used in their advertisements and on their website. These images appear to have been taken from legitimate retailers. The item I received is significantly lower quality and does not match what was advertised.
The company’s website clearly states that they accept returns. However, after receiving the item, I attempted to initiate a return and have been unable to do so. Over the course of 10 days of communication, the company has repeatedly refused to provide return instructions and instead continues to pressure me to keep the item while offering only partial refunds (approximately 20%).
Through additional research, I have found that this appears to be a pattern of behavior. Multiple consumers report receiving incorrect or low-quality items and being denied the ability to return them, despite the company’s stated policy. There are also reports that the company frequently changes business names to avoid accountability.
This business is misleading consumers by advertising products that do not match what is delivered and by falsely claiming to offer returns. I am requesting that this matter be investigated as part of a broader pattern of consumer fraud.

I received an email claiming to be from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) regarding my trademark application for “BIG EASY BAND.” The message stated that my application required a “verification call” with a federal examining attorney and instructed me to initiate the call at a specific date and time.
The email included my correct personal information, including my name, address, and trademark serial number, which made it appear legitimate. It directed me to call a phone number (###-###-####) and referenced an “appointment number” for the verification process.
However, several red flags raised concern:
The email originated from a non-official domain (not @uspto.gov)
It required me to initiate a call, which is not standard USPTO procedure
It used urgent language suggesting my application could be abandoned if I did not comply
After researching, I found that this exact email format, phone number, and messaging have been reported as part of a known scam impersonating the USPTO. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) Scam Tracker contains a report matching this communication.
This appears to be a targeted scam aimed at individuals with active trademark applications, likely using publicly available USPTO data to appear credible. I did not engage with the sender or call the number.

Lovers scam. They claim they needed money to pay a debt for a mother’s funeral, then need money for a computer, phone, plane ticket home, lawyer fees, etc. Then needs money for an investment, needs money for a bribe to get out of jail, for phone access from a guard while in jail in Spain, now needs money for an offshore account to get access to $500,000. “And they will pay him all back.

I got a phone call and it went to voicemail. The voicemail left claimed to be a woman named Tina from Williams and Peters and Associates. She said she had been trying to reach out and that I needed to call back immediately. They threatened that if I failed to respond it could result in skip tracing and forceful location. They also included a website link in the voicemail that led you to a screen where you were asked to put in your phone number to find your "case". It then gave a random name and prompted you to input the last four digits of your social security number. I did not give them the social security number and left the site after that.

Week passed and nothing so I emailed them, no response. By almost week 3 I had emailed them 3 times and still no response. Went online and digged deeper and found out there was a lot of reviews of people buying from them and never getting what they ordered. So this is definitely a scam.

I want to warn others about what I believe is a fraudulent scheme involving two websites: chickenroadofficial.nl and winhero.com.
I first visited chickenroadofficial.nl, which redirected me to winhero.com. The platform looked legitimate, offering 24/7 support, a welcome bonus, and generally positive online reviews. Based on this, I registered and deposited 200 EUR.
After some time, my balance increased to around 550 EUR. However, when I tried to withdraw my funds, I was suddenly asked to complete additional verification (phone number and passport). This requirement was not mentioned during registration or deposit.
I provided all requested information, including a photo of myself holding my passport. Despite this, my withdrawal was never processed. Support responses became slow and inconsistent, and eventually I lost access to my account completely.
As a result, I lost both my money and access to my account. Even more concerning is that my personal data (passport details, phone number, and banking information) is now in unknown hands, which creates a serious risk of identity theft.
In my opinion, chickenroadofficial.nl acts as a redirect to a fraudulent platform, while winhero.com is directly involved in deceptive practices and financial loss.
I strongly advise others to avoid these websites.

Counterfeit Product
I ordered a “Breathing Otter” separation anxiety dog toy, but instead received a koala bear toy with a strong, unpleasant chemical odor. When I requested a return, I was instructed to ship the item back to China—even though the package I received had a U.S. return address. Returning it internationally would cost me over $30, which is unreasonable given that I received the wrong item.
I also informed customer service that the product I received does not match what I ordered. Their response was:
“I've checked with the team, and that is exactly what we send for otter orders. We don't have koala bears in stock, so even if we send a replacement, it will look the same as what you received.”
This response is concerning, as it confirms that the item being advertised is not what customers actually receive.

I was looking to purchase a chocolate Labrador retriever. I sent a message to ask how much the fees were for adopting? I told 300.00. 100.00 down to secure the puppy I wanted. Then there was the transport agency I needed to give another 200. Then they wanted another 659.00 for the crate to transfer in. They said there's a federal regulation that states they have to make sure he's in a secure crate. That money would be 95% refunded the day of delivery. Then They asked for transport fee of 1000.00 and again I would get refunded the money. I was supposed to get delivery on 4/11/26 at 11am . The puppy was going to be a surprise for my husband. I THOUGHT I was all set I received the invoice for shipment. Then I received another email stating that the puppy needed to go to the emergency vet. The pup had something going on with him. He was lethargic. They sent me xrays and said that he needed surgery. The cost was 2000. 00.. I refused and said no more money. They sent me photos of him and a machine with his vitals Now I'm being told that I going to jail for animal abandonment . I probably lost my money. I am so ashamed that I was taken for this money. I had my heart broken I was soo excited for a new arrival of this puppy.

?On April 10th, I was gambling with Baba Casino out of Bonita, Florida. I made several deposits worth about $200. While i was gambling I hit $247 (I think). Afterwards when I hit the spin button, it would get stuck on automatic spin and go through my winnings very fast. It did this a few times. Each time I had a hard time to get it to stop spinning automatically, even to the point where I had to literally close out of the casino so it would stop. I lost at least $100, because of the automatic spinning scam. Then I was noticing that I would win, but no money was being added to my total. I don't know how many times this happened, but when I realized it was happening I added up about $57 was not added to my account. Also, i won $30 on the Carnival dart promotion, but I never received that either.

I ordered some makeup from a company called Laura Geller, and during checkout, I was asked to use freeshipping.com to track my package… now I have been charged by freeshipping.com for a membership fee (a month later) that I never agreed to. Apparently, they do this to a lot of people if you search it on google. There must be some sneaky fine print that they are using to get away with this, but that shouldn’t be allowed to continue. Also, when I went to their website to try and cancel it… I had to use the password reset option because I don’t recall ever creating a password for this website, just the Laura Geller one. Then the password reset wouldn’t work because no matter what password I tried to create it kept saying “invalid credentials” or “doesn’t meet requirements”. I am beyond frustrated that this company has my bank account info and I can’t even login to their website to cancel a subscription that I never agreed to.

Body:
I’m posting this to warn other authors about a company calling itself Book Publishing Xperts. I am a USAF veteran and lost $39,900 to this operation.
They used a Seattle virtual office address:
2815 Elliott Ave, Suite 100, Seattle, WA 98121
And this phone number:

The person calling himself “Ray Wilson” promised printing, distribution, and marketing for my book. None of it was real. No books were printed, no distribution happened, and they sent me fabricated royalty statements claiming I was owed $104,000 to pressure me into paying more.
This is a coordinated publishing scam. I’ve filed complaints with:
• Washington State Attorney General
• Oklahoma Attorney General
• FTC
• IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center)
• BBB
