I was messaged by the account of the founder of Catalyst Circles on LinkedIn after applying for a job. I was told to email Emeric Winslow via [email protected] with my most updated resume, completed an interview via email, and was offered a position as an Instructional Designer as a remote job. They noted they would be sending me a check in the mail to cover the cost of purchasing equipment such as a MacBook, external monitor and hard drive, etc. I requested information regarding my benefits, supervisor contact, etc. and was told I would get that information after I purchased the equipment and set up my office. They then texted me as Lana Smith, the "onboarding manager" requesting the name of my banking institution so they could send me an electronic check to deposit in my bank's mobile app.

Phishing - Apollo Home Warranty

I received a letter stating that my lender required a home warranty. They knew my address, lender, square footage and loan amount. When I called they explained that my title company and/or lender required this warranty and they tried to set me up with this coverage for approximately $400. When I became skeptical the agent said he’d “close my account” and hung up on me. I called back to clarify what just happened, I got another agent who insulted me and vaguely threatened me by reading off my address to me as to suggest that he could come to my home. I asked for a corporate address and he said, they don’t have one. I will attach a picture of the letter.

I received a voicemail from the number listed stating they were VIP Petcare and needed me to confirm my information to keep my dogs flea medication autoship order on schedule. This was the voicemail they left. “Senna’s prescription has been transferred to the new VIP pet care pharmacy to keep the next shipment on schedule. We just need you to confirm your information with our pharmacy customer care team as a special thank you for completing the process enjoy $25 off your first AutoShip order please call us at 877-481-0141 as soon as possible. Your next auto shipment cannot be sent until this step is completed again that's 877-481-0141 thank you for trusting us with center of care. We look forward to speaking with you soon.…” I called the number back with my husband and they claimed the company was recently bought by another branch and they no longer had our billing, home address, or card on file. I gave them our billing address and home address, but my husband felt this could be a scam so we refused giving out card info. The lady said without the card info Senna’s autoship order couldn’t be processed and she would have to cancel it. We told her to go ahead and cancel then because we didn’t understand how this information couldn’t be carried over under new ownership. She claimed she would cancel it and rushed us off the phone. After doing some research apparently this number is not the official VIP Petcare number, nor would the company need this information as it would carry over. We also realized the autoship order is through Chewy anyways and VIP Petcare just needs to give consent to Chewy before shipping. We believe that we were almost scammed. This was a super convincing scam that we unfortunately partially fell for by giving them our billing and home address. When we checked the status on our dogs flea medication, it states it should ship out tomorrow still. This was a very confusing and bizarre situation.

Counterfeit Product

I returned 2 sets of bibles in one shipment as per their instructions. The company acknowledged via email of receiving the shipment of both set of bibles. The company refunded only 1 set of bibles. Each set cost $118.08 USD. The company's AI bot support acknowledged via email of receiving both sets of bible but shipping / receiving staff made an error in their computer data entry and as a result the second set can not be refunded until computer entry is corrected. The company's AI bot support indicated via email that there is no escalation process, and there is no supervisor available and that support staff have no way of determining how to correct the errors made by shipping/receiving personnel. The company's AI bot indicated there is no phone number available for Customer Support. I have emails and documents to prove everything I have stated here and after 3 months of delays and dozens of emails I have concluded that this company has no integrity and should be criminally charged for deceptive practices.

Online Purchase - Kynvale

I purchased a Tee Popper with extra plastic balls, the purchase also came with extra free add ons like "Doughout club." I was subscribed to a monthly membership I never consented on, or whas it clarified through the purchase process, or email confirming purchase. I emailed them letting them know I never received an email for a subscription, Kynvale stated to have sent one stating on the subject: "Welcome to the Dugout Club." I emailed over and over that it was never sent to me, and I am requesting for refund for 2 charges of $40 for a subscription I never agreed to, or was clarified to. There was a cancelation link on their webpage, they make you input your email, the email is sent, then you have to open the link in your email again. So stupid!! which I happen to stop that Cancelation as well, and screenshot the confirmation. In that Cancelation of subscription, it had a tab I could not open that stated "Subscription Plan", and those usually can be changed. I couldn't open. They finally offered 20% refund, and I stopped emailing, and called my CC company to file fraudulent charges. Kynvale just so happen to refund both charges totalling $80. YOU NEED TO CLARIFY IN THE EMAIL THEY NEVER SENT YOU AN EMAIL STATING ANYTHING FOR A SUBSCRIPTION OR MEMBERSHIP! HAVE THAT RECORDED AND CAN SUBMIT TO CC COMPANY AS YOU ATTEMPTING TO ESTABLISH SOME COMMUNICATION WITH THEM TO FILE FOR FRAUD. Also screen shots of your original purchase, showing them that there's nothing stating subscription or membership. Hope this helps someone!

I exchanged over a dozen emails with them and they kept trying to just give me store credit or 10% back. I demanded a full refund. She said fine ship it back and when we get confirmation will refund. The item was shipped on June 5 back to China. It cost me $22.40 to send it back to China. The item is stuck in customs because they are waiting for the duties to be paid by the receiver of the returned item. I have sent them numerous emails and get nothing in response.

Online Purchase

I purchased a jumpsuit for approximately $80 from an online store branded as "Brian and Kelly New York." The site used American branding — New York imagery, photos suggesting the owners were US-based — to appear as a domestic company. Upon delivery, the item's quality was extremely poor, comparable to a garment costing around $15, and did not match the product photos or description. When I requested a return, the company did not respond for approximately 9 days. When they finally replied, they stated return shipping would cost $25. After completing customs paperwork and attempting to actually ship the return, I was told the cost would instead be $65 — more than the item itself cost, and far more than the amount originally quoted. The return shipping address provided was a freight/logistics warehouse in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, China — not a US location, despite the site's branding implying an American business. The mismatch between the marketed origin, the poor product quality, the slow response, and the escalating/inconsistent return costs strongly suggests this business is designed to discourage successful returns. Consumers should be aware this is likely a drop-shipping operation misrepresenting itself as a US-based brand, with return policies that make returning items impractical or cost-prohibitive.

I use TikTok often. I believe their advertising has become malicious and extremely inappropriate. Yesterday I was scrolling and got an ad of what looked like a little girls face and the audio was “don’t let my dad find this website with my images”. I was utterly disturbed! Then again today it’s another advertisement with a picture of a girl with a birthday cake and number “14” balloons. The advertisement said “why did you let your dad crack”. Just to be clear “crack” is a term for fornication. I’m really traumatized seeing these advertisements! While human trafficking is rampant and now they are advertising minors taking about sex is horrific. They are obviously not screening advertisements. Not only was it traumatizing to see but I didn’t click on any links at all I was taken to a malicious website unprompted!

This is one of two groups of scammers that tend to call my phone 5-6 times per week. They surely use an app that allows them to call from a different phone number every time, so I realize filing this complaint is likely a huge waste of time, just as is blocking all of the various phone numbers they call from is. They never actually name who they are attempting to reach. In fact, I believe it is ALWAYS a recorded message that they use when they leave a voicemail so that they can knock out as many outgoing calls and messages every day as they possibly can, just waiting for the next person who may be nervous, or simply ignorant that it’s a scam, and ****** **** **** ******* actually do what the message says…call back the number one the caller ID and expose themselves to some sort of scam or trap. It is obviously fake to anybody who knows what details to look for, but I can see how many people who do not know better could easily fall pray to it. Here is the voicemail message that they leave (and probably the same thing you may hear if you were to ever answer a call from these losers: “ Please call the number shown on your caller ID to connect with Kirkland Myers about your account. “

Business told me my monthly payments would be lower after I paid them $1639.75 for three months. Then my pay balance would be forgiven with my mortgage. They were supposed to record my money orders to my mortgage and interest would go down on my mortgage payments.

Online Purchase

Saw on line on Facebook. Ordered and paid by PayPal. Got several track your package. Last email was shipped to US . Didn’t know it was an overseas buy. Ordered on July 18th still nothing and no more tracking emails. Contacted PayPal and they were of little help. Thought the company only delt with reliable companies need to report them as well. Only help they gave was company email and phone number +86 13291871846 and invoice number. A rip off by both companies
