I got a message from Whatsapp group to join a crypto future trading group. The admin name is Anna and she sends the crypto future signals which give huge returns in matter of minutes. She encourages to withdraw small profits in the beginning. then convice us to invest more to make more profits. they have different levels of investment amount the more money more profits. I invested 22k of my own money transferring crypto USDC from my Coinbase wallet. Now she started forcing me to invest more so that i can make lot more in Profits. then i kind of started panicing so I tried play smart by withdrawing the money but she doesnt let me. then she asks for 10% profits to be paid separateley to be able to withdraw the funds and in the desperation I sent another $3212 from my coinbase. then she vanishes she never let me withdraw again out of Neoster app. then she texts me back in a week asking for $800 fee as Miner Fee no idea what the hell is that. I havent paid that money yet. now i am 100% convinced that its all scam. Please do not waste your hard earned money in these scams. There is no such thing as easy money. Lesson learned in hard way.

Looking at your file, I can get this done for you. Press one now or call me at 866-771-6698. when I finally accepted the call to request to remove me from the list Oscar said if I paid my bills they would stop calling but since I don’t he will continue to call me. He said he knows my information and he’s a legitimate loan broker. He said I qualified for a loan and insists to complete the application.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

I purchased a flight ticket through Trip.com, and the booking was confirmed. However, when the passenger arrived at the airport, the airline could not locate the booking in their system. This happened on two separate occasions. As a result, no boarding pass was issued, and the passenger was unable to travel both times. Despite having a confirmed booking, the service was not delivered. The company acknowledged the issue and stated that the case was under investigation, but no resolution or refund has been provided. The customer was repeatedly asked to wait (24–48 hours), but no clear solution was given. This caused financial loss, including transportation and accommodation expenses, as well as significant inconvenience. This situation raises serious concerns about the reliability of the booking system and the company’s handling of customer funds when services are not delivered. Consumers should be cautious when using this platform, as confirmed bookings may not be honored, and refunds may be delayed.

These were two people from AAA natural gas provider company who identified themselves as being from PG&E, and told me that we qualify for 35% bill reductions on our PG&E bills because we are seniors and pay our bills on time. They took address info, my name, phone, and email. They said the program was from PG&E and what they were really doing was signing us (my wife and I) up for their company to provide our natural gas. I confirmed with PG&E that they had not called and don't have such a program for seniiors. I called AAA and told them to cancel what they just signed me up for and that I would file a complaint with the BBB.

I am complaining about the company Yeezy for failing to ship my order. I purchased my order in September 2025, then later received a confirmation email in December 2025. On March 12, 2026, I contacted their customer support through [email protected] for further updates and received the following response: "We have been experiencing a shipping backlog. However, we are catching up on orders and will ship all pending orders over the next 3 weeks." I followed up with an email on April 21, 2026, and received this response: "Your order has been received, and we are working on getting it shipped out. While we do not currently have an ETA, we will email you a confirmation once it ships and that will include tracking information as well." Today is the 1st of May, which marks the 8th month since my purchase. I have yet to receive any shipping updates. This is unacceptable.
