Other - Online Subscription Scam

I responded to an ad for $12.78 for digestion information (tips on gut health) from Digesti. They continued to charge me $49.95 monthly. I noticed the charges this month and contacted the company and they would not refund. They said there was fine print agreeing to a $49.95 charge. They just processed another charge the day after I contacted them. I would NEVER have agreed to a monthly charge for this type of information.

I ordered a dress as pictured and received a completely different dress that was much cheaper. I notified them via email and sent pictures of what I had purchased and what I had received to show them the difference and I heard back a couple days later and they didn’t offer a refund, but they offered a discount on future purchases for a credit on my account of like $15 and so that would just stay with the company I would never get my money and I told them that I want a full refund and they said that I could ship the dress back and once they receive it, they would refund it, but they would not provide me with a return label to return something to China would cost hundreds of dollars so that was out of the question. The photo shown is the one I received. I cannot upload the original order photo, but it’s completely different. This is not what I ordered or paid for.

Online Purchase - https://clarkmarvis.com

Never buy from Clark &Marvis. I ordered orthopedic shoes with support in them from Clark $ Marvis and received hard totally flat shoes. I have flat feet and cannot wear flat shoes. I bought them because my feet need support and they were supposed to have support. They say they are from Toronto Canada but the items are shipped from China and to return them would cost more than I paid for the item. Then it’s still up to them if they give a refund. Total scammers. I wished I would have checked the reviews about this company but I will check from now on. I lost $74.95 but contacted my credit card company and am doing a charge back to recover this money from this scam company. I couldn’t believe the product when I got it. Looks super ugly and definitely not orthopedic or worth 74.95. Maybe worth 15-20, maybe.

Online Purchase

When I ordered the hearing aids, Nebroo was very responsive. Their website said if I was not satisfied with them I could return them for a full refund with 120 days of purchase. As soon as I tried the hearing aids they hurt my ears so I requested a refund. They tried to dissuade me from returning them, saying they would save me the hassle of returning them by offering me a partial refund. I insisted on returning them for a full refund and asked for the address to send them to. They sent me an address in Canada, although their website gives a Texas address as their headquarters. I mailed them back according to their instructions, but I started to get suspicious when I searched their Canadian address on Google Maps, and it appeared to be a remote farmhouse in Canada. So I set up a dispute with my credit card company, and the charges were temporarily blocked, pending further details. The USPS has returned my package that I sent to Nebroo, stating the address is incomplete. I used exactly the address Nebroo gave me. They are now requesting that I unblock my dispute with the credit card company so they can “refund my money.” Hah! I communicated with my credit card company again and asked that they not unblock the disputes, which apparently Nebroo had asked them to do. I told the credit card company I have screenshots of all my interactions, but they did not ask for them. They said the documents Nebroo provided when they asked that the dispute be unblocked were not legitimate. Because the charges are blocked, I did not lose the cost of the products. But I did lose $68 on postal and insurance fees.

Online Purchase - The Paw Parent / Zorano Limited/ MWNL LLC

On July 26, 2026, I placed order #37709 with The Paw Parent, operated by Zorano Limited, for a pet supplement called Macho’s Secret Powder. I paid $180.82 through PayPal. My original purchase was intended to be a one-time order. I did not knowingly request or authorize enrollment in a recurring delivery or subscription program. Nevertheless, following my purchase, The Paw Parent enrolled me in repeating deliveries. I discovered that my account had been set up for future recurring orders even though I had not requested this as part of my original purchase. This was an additional concern and caused me to question the company’s ordering and subscription practices. The merchandise from my original order was never received. Over the following weeks, I made repeated attempts to resolve the matter with The Paw Parent, including numerous emails and telephone calls. After the order remained unfulfilled, I requested that it be canceled and that my $180.82 be refunded. A Paw Parent representative identifying himself as “Wesley” subsequently stated in writing that their tracking showed the order as “delivered.” However, the USPS tracking information supplied by Zorano Limited, tracking number 9402036106715000525086, did not show delivery to me. The USPS tracking history contained several unusual discrepancies. It showed “Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS” on June 6, 2026, approximately seven weeks before I placed the order. The package was later shown as “Out for Delivery” in Chino, California on August 14, although my delivery address is in New York. USPS subsequently showed the package as “Held at Post Office for Postage Verification” and later “Delayed for postage assessment, Item in transit to destination.” I never received the package. After I opened an Item Not Received dispute with PayPal, The Paw Parent agreed in writing to provide a refund. However, the company asked me to close my PayPal dispute first, stating that it would issue my refund after the case was closed. I declined because closing the dispute would have eliminated my ability to continue pursuing the matter through PayPal if the promised refund was not issued. I kept the PayPal dispute open and submitted the seller’s correspondence and USPS tracking information to PayPal. PayPal subsequently resolved the dispute by issuing me a full refund of $180.82. I am therefore not seeking additional reimbursement. I am reporting this experience because of: * My unrequested enrollment in recurring deliveries after making what I intended to be a one-time purchase; * The failure to deliver the merchandise; * The conflicting representations regarding the package’s delivery status; * The unusual USPS tracking and postage-verification history; * The considerable difficulty obtaining a refund; and * The company’s request that I close my PayPal dispute before receiving its promised refund. I am submitting this information so that the appropriate organization can determine whether other consumers have reported similar experiences involving The Paw Parent and/or Zorano Limited and take whatever action it considers appropriate.
