Counterfeit Product - Preston Hayes

I ordered a breathable knit on 7.5.26 from a supposedly American company. On 7/24 I recieved the item from China. The item was not what i ordered and completely incorrect from the description. I reached out the day I got the item for a return label and refund due to it not being what I ordered. The customer service rep offered me 20% off to keep the item. I declined and told her no and asked for return instructions. She came back with 40% refund offer which I declined and asked for return instructions. She now is back to the 20% refund and wont give me the instructions to return. THIS IS A JOKE.

Online Purchase - passport

They make it as if you are buying your passport and then send you the paperwork filled out to get your passport. And of course at the very bottom of the website page they tell the truth but it becomes obvious after you pay and they say to take this information and submit it with a check to the real passport office with $160 check or money order. Then you realize you have paid for some bull**** *** to fill in the paperwork you thought you were filling out in the first place. This company is trash, I have no idea where they are located and they look just like the official website. I am going to try and sue.

Online Purchase - Spicanology Online Retail Scam

I saw pool lights on social media and I transacted a purchase. When the purchase went through I was charged $80 instead of the price on the ad of $62. I emailed to inquire and they refunded the difference. The items showed up and were subpar, substandard, poor quality, wouldn't seal upon adding the batteries, wouldn't stay attached to the pool walls, all 4 lights couldn't illuminate the 6500 gallon pool. Upon requesting a refund or return, I was told it would cost too much to ship them back and they offered me $9. I refused multiple times and only was offered a refund of $14 USD. I am fighting the charge on the bank card as well.

We trust this information is clear and that you are satisfied with the benefits outlined above. Then comes the scam: Explanation of Our Equipment Process Previously, our company handled equipment distribution by shipping work materials directly to new hires. Over time, this approach presented recurring challenges, including delayed deliveries, misplaced shipments, and instances where employees did not receive their equipment as scheduled. These issues disrupted training timelines and resulted in operational setbacks and financial losses for the company. To address these concerns and improve efficiency, we have implemented a more reliable and streamlined process. Under this updated policy, funds are issued directly to employees so they can purchase their required equipment through company-certified vendors. This approach allows for better tracking, faster fulfillment, and ensures that all equipment meets our technical and quality standards. Requiring purchases through certified vendors also guarantees system compatibility, proper configuration, and consistency across all employee workstations. This helps prevent technical issues during training and allows employees to begin their roles without unnecessary delays. This process has been successfully adopted by all recently hired employees and has proven effective in ensuring timely setup, smooth onboarding, and uninterrupted training schedules. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we follow this standardized procedure. Please confirm when you are ready to proceed with the equipment purchase so we can remain on schedule and avoid any delays in your training and onboarding. After this, I pushed back and then they said they would mail the equipment.

Payden knocked on the door 7/27 and said he could see severe hail damage to the roof of the house and garage while driving up our dead end road. You cannot see the roof in detail from the road, there is no damage to the roof from the hail storm in April 2026, and the garage roof also has no hail damage and we were last on it less than a week ago to replace an outdoor light bulb. My mother is 92 years old with dementia and cannot make any financial decisions. Payden told her there are 304 hail hits plus wind damage to her roof and that it has to immediately be replaced. He got her to sign a contract for roof replacement that she did not read, and commit to an unknown repair cost which is now somehow $8,000 to $12,000. When I called Payden the morning of 7/28 to decline any repairs and let him know that she cannot make financial decisions, he was very pushy and kept demanding more of an explanation for why we didn't want his services. After saying no thank you several times, I told him that no is a complete sentence, at which point he got upset and told me that I am not taking care of my mother, and that he didn't believe she had dementia because she's similar in age to his grandmother. I called him a pushy asshole and told him I was going to file a report with the sheriff's office as I believe he's a scammer. He told me his father is a Greene County Deputy and he was going to report me for harassment for calling him. While I was on the phone to file the report, Payden started texting me stating he has a signed contract that we must provide a signed cancellation for, however he refused to come to my mother's home for that to be signed or to tell me where I could bring her to today to sign it. I have called the owner of the company, Aaron who did not answer. I texted Aaron with no response, and I have emailed the "company" including a copy of the DPOA which Payden demanded. These people are scammers and not a real business. My mother wasn't given a copy of whatever they had her sign. There is no roofing company by that name when searching online, and the local contractor by the same name has stated he has no dealings with them.

Online Purchase - Lhanile Store

I am filing a complaint regarding a pair of glasses I ordered from this company. The product took quite some time to arrive, and when I finally received it, it looked nothing like the item that was advertised on their website. The product I received was clearly different from what was shown, which I believe is false advertising. I requested a refund, but the company told me I was not eligible because the package had been opened or the glasses had been tried on. That makes no sense—how would I know whether the product matched what I ordered without opening the package? They are also insisting that I pay to ship the item back. I do not believe I should have to spend my own money to return an item that was misrepresented in the first place. After reviewing the company’s website, I found numerous customer reviews describing the same experience. This appears to be an ongoing pattern, and I believe the company should be investigated for misleading advertising and unfair business practices. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I appreciate your review of this complaint.

ChartSwap Insights collects money for Medical Records retrieval. However, they charge an upfront fee (usually $37) before they show you the results of their search. That fee increases based on the results, but you don't know the results until you pay the fees. Often times, the results is in records not found, or duplicate results (duplicate billing). Maryland laws prohibit services like ChartSwap Insights from charging fees when the result of the search is no records found. They try to get around this by breaking down their invoices in two, with one of them being the $37 fee that they try to collect no matter what. In addition to that, the invoices default to the option with additional "analysis fees" and you have to be alert and make sure to change it to the standard option without the analysis fees. These fees are usually small, but they do add up. To make matters worst, they have a related, but not connected service business (called just ChartSwap), that they make it very difficult to find a phone number (not listed on either website) and they often say "we can't help you, you have to call the other company". They also use that as an excuse to separate their invoice from the $37 fees. We are often paying over $60 for a one page result. In the case of ChartSwap, sometimes we are told to pay $72.50 for a single page!

I placed and order on 5/22/2026, my order was never delivered. They sent fake delivery dates which my items were never delivered. They finally emailed me and said they would send a refund and I have yet to see that, I emailed them about it and was told it was lost in the system and they will issue another refund. All they do is give you the run around!!! Terrible

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I made a purchase of 5 bathing suits from Premcurve. All the items that came in were poor quality and did not fit given the measurements listed on the website. When I requested a refund they told me I had to pay international shipping which would be over $40 and instead offered me to keep the items and they would give me 25% back. I declined and after waiting several days they counter offered to give me 50% back. I again declined and they offered me 80%. At this time the back and forth communication had gone on over 3 weeks and I finally agreed to 80% to be done with it and then they never responded to my email. I sent 6 separate emails inquiring about my refund and I never received a response nor my money.

Phishing

This company has attempted to call me multiple times. Today they left a voicemail stating "This message is for ******* *****. Ms *****, this is Angela giving you a call from element group (phone number states it is Element Mediation Group). It looks like your payment was declined. If you can, try to give me a call back to get that recovered so they go ahead and move forward with adding on a penalty fee. My number is 888-341-3837. Thank you and have a good day.". I have never worked with this company before and have never paid them previously for anything, so there is no way a payment would have failed.

Online Purchase

I purchased a USB heating eye mask recommended by my eye doctor. I ended up purchasing two of them from two identical websites. Even the reviews were identical! The first order was flagged as fraud by my credit card. I should have stopped there in hindsight. I searched for the item again and purchased from a "different" company. The sales had 2 names and the billing had 2 completely different names. I kept getting calls about potential fraud from my credit card which mentioned: Kelvo Shop, Shop Zaven ( AKA Cantucci Vale, Inc.) and Relzo Tech. I was advised to call all of these companies and cancel all orders and "memberships". I never saw anything about memberships during either sale. I declined expedited shipping since the websites both said, "Arrives tomorrow!". It took 10 days or so and I was charged $9.99 for expedited shipping. When I called the "companies" which all had different phone numbers, the same rude people would answer. One phone number was forwarded to a realtor's cell phone! I'm warning everyone I can about this phony membership scam.
