I believe this company added a bracelet to my order that I didn't select. Somehow I paid for 2 bracelets and only ordered one. I let them know immediately that I didn't have that item in my cart and asked them to revise the order right after it was processed. The unwanted bracelet is for a daughter, I don't even have a daughter. They say I added the bracelet. I wouldn't have a reason to add the bracelet. I asked them to remove it right after I saw the receipt. They didn't remove it. So the thing I take issue with - how was the bracelet added? Did they have like a add this bracelet for a discount thing for that I didn't realize? Did they add the bracelet before I even started shopping? And the other thing I'm really pissed about is that they won't accept a return or a refund of the bracelet I asked to be removed in the first place! An order that was supposed to be around $50 ended up being $78. Shady in every way.

They call from different numbers and its either the same or different person

Was called about resources available to me along with some grant money that I qualify for

They market product on Instagram. I was stupid enough to buy based upon the images. It took over a month to ship and wasn't shipped until I asked to cancel the order. The quality was crap. It was an American flag fabric wall hanging and showed woven fabrics and large rod hanger. Instead it was cheap printed fabric and the bar was thin and in two pieces so wouldn't work. Asked for refund. They tried to get me to accept $4 and to keep. Awaiting return information. It will cost $20 to send back to get the refund. Typical China scam.

June 20th Got quote from two companies. One for $2800.00 and one for $500.00 Asked what would be done for the fee from both. Unfortunately took the lesser quote. Told the job would take two hours. After two hours Thomas, the workman showed a picture on his phone of three bricks removed from the chimney ( which he never asked or told me he was going to remove) that were supposedly damaged and price would now be $2800.00. After heated discussion I agreed to pay the $2800.00 and they would be back the next day the complete the job. They showed up the next day and started the job. Thomas then came to me an hour later and said the damage was more extensive and he had removed the chimney and the new price was to be $15,000.00. I asked him who permitted him to remove the chimney at all. After much heated discussion I told Thomas I did not have that kind of money. He reduced the price to $9000.00 and eventually to $6000.00. I told him still I did not have the money. He phoned his office and they approved quote to $3000.00 plus the $2800.00 in the last approved quote. I was told the office would call me and the crew left with all the debris in between my home and my neighbor's and on my back deck I checked the bricks and found no water damage on any of the bricks in the debris. I learned after they left they had also damaged my neighbor's house when they were tossing bricks from the roof. Someone from their office did call later in the day and stated $3000.00+$2800.00 was the price. I told him the same as I told Thomas, I did not have the money. The man told me he would think about situation and call back on Monday the 22nd. He never called. I was called back by the first quote and they said the would resolve the problems for $8500.00. I have the contract for $500.00 and $2800. and the bank confirmation of the $1415.50 I paid before they would commence the work. They are taking advantage of seniors and leaving a mess of debris and damage to my deck and neighbor's house which I am also responsible for. I did not ask or give them permission t take down my chimney I did not ask them to remove any bricks for my home. They were only to waterproof the chimney and put an new flashing around the chimney. I also have pictures of all the damage and debris if you require. Please help to prevent other seniors from being scammed.

Creative Fabrica is based in Westerstraat 187, 1015 MA, Amsterdam. It's a digital design platform and is $47 for the year's subscription that I have used for 2 years for my print on demand Etsy shop. They have charged my credit card 5 times for $47 each and said that I clicked on a pop-up on their website to add an additional year...which I have not! I disputed the first 4 charges and eventually was credited for those. My subscription is good until November 2026. On June 15th I was charged AGAIN for $47 and I've notified the company to refund me. This is a huge scam and others have had the same problem with them. I have contacted them via email and I'm waiting to get credited back for this $47 charge, then I'm cancelling my subscription.

tell me i need voice search now. call and call and call all day long from different phone numbers

They scam me into thinking I was making a one time purchase of their product, when actually they signed me up for recurring monthly payments. I did not authorize this. It is nearly impossible to get any kind of customer service. I keep getting a new credit card and they keep getting the new card numbers and continue to charge my account monthly. It's ridiculous.

I listed a house for rent on Zillow, 1616 Sainsbury Dr, Midlothian, VA 23113 for $2800/month. It showed up on Redit for $1100, I was notified by a potential renter wanting to know if this was real. I contacted Redit told them about the scam and they removed it. But before I did that I applied to see who would contact me ….. they wanted me to fill out an application, which I didn’t do, yesterday I received an email from beleiveown1@gmail.

Bought yearly bible study. Received books then monthly charge of $39.99 was withdrawn month later.

I ordered 8 pack all colors pants size small for $28.39, used my debit card for purchase on April 11, 2026 at 10:52 a.m. got confirmation that my order 260411220153241 has been purchased put in my address and phone number along with my back debit card information. It went through my bank and charged me for the $28.39. It is now June 24, 2026 and I still do not have the merchandise nor have I received my 100% refund for not getting my merchandise. No way to contact them by phone, only communication is by email. I had to negotiate getting my 100% refund for they were not going to honor what they on their website which is 100% refund policy, they kept throwing offers back to me three different times. Finally, they said that they would honor the 100% refund and get is sent to me, but it will take up to 15 days. It is now over two months and I have not received my refund. I keep emailing them about it and they keep sending the same response to me that they are going to get me my refund and it will take up to 15 days. This website should be taken down and it should not be allowed to let people order off of their website. Now, they have my address, phone number, email, my name, and my bank debit card information. It really did look like a legit website when I was ordering off from them.

I received an unsolicited message re: an approved request I never sent. The message asked me to click on a link to view my benefits.

So, it was a matter of an IQ test. I knew at the outset that there would be a nominal fee. My message to them when they refuse to reimburse me no : I’d just like to say that saying that it will only cost 1.50 or whatever it was is highly misleading. I recall clicking everywhere and going back and forth on your site and between there and. My email, trying to get an answer to the question where are the results. If in the interim, I managed to click on something like that that’s on me, but you were very misleading. Very.

Ordered what we thought was Carhartt T-Shirts on June 1st they kept telling me it was on the way then they told me it got delivered on June 23rd at 3:43 a.m.! Like anybody delivers at that time in the morning and there was nothing on my cameras

I was offered a job to review and ship packages from my home, I also filled out a W-2 form aswell sadly they contact you via email and phone call they will provide 2 or 3 supervisors and 1 manager they also have an accountant and a HR person please don’t ship or receive anything you get from them if so IMMEDIATELY contact local police department for further assistance!

Item was purchased online item delivered that was not as advertised size quality variety was completely different and nothing similar to what they advertised. Searched Amazon and found a similar item for $8 Canadian where sent dreams charged over $60. I have corresponded with their support team and after numerous emails and frustrations they have not resolved the issue. Searching their company online they have had numerous complaints. They are not ethical no professional and keep scamming individuals.

I ordered 4 items from Weekccy.com. I contacted the website multiple times for the status of my order but no response. I do not recommend ordering from this website as it’s a scam.

Received a job interview invite via chat instead of video call or phone call since this position was a work from home Administrative Assistant. I applied through the company’s main website GDH Workforce Solution where I then received an email asking me to schedule an interview. I went through the interview process and then later that afternoon, I was emailed an offer letter that was to be signed and returned. After further research on the main websites page, I noticed the person that had sent them email was not listed on the main page.

Bought on a whim which I never do. Saw an ad that looked like an article on Google news. Website seemed legit with lots of items from crafters. Cheap poorly made item arrived.

Bought puppy lick bowl from online media ad early April 2026. Received goods that looked nothing like the ad, cheap quality. However, I now have a monthly withdrawl on the 18th of the month in April, May and June for a "subscription" fee. I was told by support in an email that it was automatic unless I declined during the payment process on my purchase. I requested cancellation but the vendor is now ghosting me and their website is now unavailable so I have to go to my bank to block future payments.

Friend request requested on Instagram offered a game that I never heard of. Played was sent nudes sent nudes back. They got my phone number and tried to blackmail me.

I placed an order on June 5, 2026, for $39.90, clearing my bank the very next day. 3 weeks later, I never received my order, but kept getting notifications that my order was delivered to an address in Louisiana. I live in South Carolina. I sent numerous emails notifying the company that someone else received a package attached to the order number and tracking number assigned to my name. Once I demanded a full refund stating I never received the package, I stopped getting any responses from this company. The worst excuse of a business I’ve ever dealt with. After they Take your money, they disappear….

Watched Dr. Oz advertising Gelatide. They offered a special on Gelatide a weight loss product. When I received my bank statement an added order was charged. The product is useless and I feel so dumb for this blunder. The 2nd order they charged never arrived. reply-gabrielbngomes0987.activehosted.27521.106267.1499395@em-1020895

While the website tags these users as "(verified owner)"—meaning they have supposedly already purchased the item—the text of the reviews completely contradicts this. Several of the reviews are written by people who claim they haven't even bought the product yet: Clear Red Flags in the Images In 1000000134.png: Benjamin Mitchell is listed as a "verified owner," yet his 3-star review asks, "Does it really perform like they say? I'm still doubting it." If he already bought it, he wouldn't be wondering.

I received a text from a “Victoria Hayes” saying they worked as a recruiter for Amazon. They then sent a message saying to text a number. Hello, this is Victoria Hayes from Amazon's Remote Recruitment Team. I hope this message finds you well. We reviewed your profile and believe you may be an ideal fit for a flexible online role. In this capacity, you would assist Amazon merchants with product updates to enhance their customer reach. • Commitment: 60–90 minutes per day, 4 days weekly • Compensation: $100–$600 daily (base salary of $5,300 for 30 working days) • Additional Benefits: Complimentary training + 15–20 days of paid vacation each year We have 18 openings available at present. If you are at least 23 years of age and would like to learn more, kindly reply with “More Info” to 6572627352. After doing this I was texted from another number a few hours later 3865903088 asking for my name and then describing the job and hours. It seemed too good to be true and it is.

I thought I was buying a parking spot for the Mariners game. I took the family there and there was no such ticket.

Attempting to sell a computer off Facebook marketplace, a person commented with a phone number saying to reach out to his wife as he was at work she seemed interested and talked about meeting when she asked how much it was she led into wanting to pay $100 now and the rest at meetup through cashapp i sent my cashtag and she requested my email she sent a scam email (through the email address provided) stating that i had to send her 500 dollars to reach a business account threshold

They emailed about a job on indeed, they then called me and asked about the position I applied for if still interested and then emailed a link where I had to create an account to be approved. Then had me send a copy of my Id and picture of myself with ID. Then had me setup a dashboard account for deliveries. I browsed dashboard and noticed they only pay with western union, money order, and PayPal. I checked and found the emails they used are fraud according to the better business bureau.. so I am reporting it so others don’t get scammed

They called and said I was approved for 61,000 then when I told them I wasn’t in debt they wouldn’t give me the name of their company or why they was calling. They said I don’t qualify.

Received a "Courtesy call" from PCH on June 5 or 6 on landline home phone saying that we had not claimed PCH winnings and almost out of the 18 month window to claim our prizes. Said we won 15 million, a house, and a Mercedes. Declined interest in having another house. Then PCH scammer said we also won in a second, separate prize entry he had entered us into and won another 30 million. Told us we needed to pay shipping and storage fees for car sitting unclaimed for 12 months plus Other fees and some taxes owed too. On June 8 we mailed the 1st of 10 checks totaling 60,000 out of the 180,000 they said needed before they could release prizes. Then they Kept asking for more money giving variety of reasons. Became suspicious then backed off engaging. They sent a person to deliver pizza to our house. Before we got suspicious and stopped taking their calls the PCH rep (using name of Robert Cashmoore) directed us to open 2 new bank accounts at 2 different local banks for depositing that much prize money. We did open 2 new accounts at two local banks but only put 50-100 in each new bank account. When we backed off from continued talking (after we had already sent 10+ checks sent using FedEx or UPS) the scammers sent a locksmith guy to our house to change the locks for our protection. We did not let him in and said leave property. He sat in car down street for while then came back with his tablet co firming the lock change order with "Robert from PCH" on the phone trying to get us to verify with him. We refused and guy was angry asking who was paying for his trip to our house. We said "not us" then he left. Next day we got a call from number in our local KC metro area from a KC, KS number. He said he was Mike Collins from KC Region FBI and he picked up a scam ring in our area involving Robert Cashmoore and see that he scammed us. He said we were burned and at risk so needed to destroy cell phones by smashing them and home la line too. His call made sense given we were suspicious about the PCH winnings and calls from Robert Cashmoore on several New York numbers (Garden City, New York for one). Before we destroyed our cell phones he was calling about how we could be arrested for being complicit in writing the checks but he'd all possible to help. Wanted money, then no money just to talk to say they got Robert arrested & to keep us out of jail, then said other FBI agents won't not be as nice, then they're on way to local police to have us arrested. Full awareness came On Sat June 20 when real Leavenworth Police came to door on a welfare check. They asked questions, we told them about Robert from PCH and Mike the FBI agent). This ended scam, we got new cells, flagged accts, stopped some checks from clearing. They still call landline 20+ times a night. Still threatening us too.

We payed this guy to make us shirts for our brand *********************. And we received not even half of the shirts that we ordered, and they guy blocked all of our numbers And socials. So we cant contact him to find out about our missing shirts

I was looking for a dress for my daughter's graduation. These dresses came up as choices under the "shopping" tab on Google. I clicked on them, saw that it was a company from North Carolina (which was untrue), and ordered 2 dresses. After a few days, the dresses had not left the warehouse. I asked to cancel the order. I was told I could not. I asked again when the dresses still hadn't arrived. After 17 days (and after the event), the dresses arrived. Both dresses were of horrible quality. You can see through them. (I attached one picture.) I contacted the company 6 times. I asked for refund information. I was never given any. The only reply I got said that I could get more merchandise for an additional $14.95 per piece. I replied to that email detailing that I didn't want any more merchandise, I just wanted my money back.

I ordered two shirts for a total showing $63 and some change. However, my bank card was charged $73, so I wrote them and asked about the up charge and they told me first that it was tax or shipping in the same message. So I wrote back and said their information was conflicting and maybe I was talking to AI. They wrote back and said their English was poor, but they weren’t AI and that the additional charge was for customs. I told them I thought their advertising said they were in Texas and they said the designers are in Texas, but the products are made in Hong Kong or China. There may have also been that conflicting information. I was thinking they were legitimate, but it didn’t make a lot of sense especially because one of the shirts I ordered said in God we Trust, which I thought was an odd thing for someone in China to be making. At this point, I should probably report it to my bank and see if they can chase after the company to get me a refund. After all this, I just looked it up the company and found this information and decided I may not be getting what I ordered. I have a couple different emails from them. I can share, but I’m not able to attach them at this time.

They double billed and sent two orders of a useless product. We sent one back with an RMA provided by the company almost two months ago where they said we would receive a full refund. This business is a scam and needs to reimburse me.

Thought I was renewing my passport and after completing it sent me another link.I used my name as well as social security number.Notified bank to hopefully challenge charge.

The company, BUYGOODS, USED AI to impersonate Bill Gates. I purchased a bottle of Memopezil for my husband who suffers from early onset dementia. One bottle arrived..when I tried to return it after my credit card was charged $177.47..I was told I must return BOTH bottles, but only received one…called and was asked for my zip code and phone number..they could find neither, so was told a refund was impossible..beware of this company!

Site portrays itself to be a legitimate passport service. I filled out the application online and all the service does is provide you with a PDF of the completed form along with instructions on how to obtain a new passport.

Product that was finally received was not what I ordered. It was a switch & bait, no way to contact them. The # my credit card provided is no long in service. Also no reply to emails to them. 

Received post card stating for me to Scan QR Code  or Call them at 656-265-0538.

Sent a letter saying: “AAPP is holding your $309.64 in grocery & gas vouchers. Please call (656) 2200-0207 immediately, failure to claim will result in an automatic forfeiture.”

This business has been engaging in deceptive review practices on multiple online platforms. Employees, friends, and family members were encouraged or paid to write positive reviews despite not being actual customers. Several reviews were created in a short period, often by individuals with no real experience with the company’s services. These fake reviews create a misleading impression of the business’s reliability and performance, making it difficult for consumers to make informed decisions. The practice is ongoing and appears coordinated, with non-customers submitting five-star reviews to artificially inflate the company’s rating. I am reporting this to help protect consumers from being influenced by dishonest or fabricated endorsements.

A scammer sent mail about a summer and savings event in Snyder, Texas, promising prizes for the last week of June that will go unfulfilled.

I met someone on an online dating app called Boo. This person and I talked and he kept pressuring me to open an online store with Zalora and described it to be similar to temu and to amazon. After being pressured, I opened an account and was "vouched" by this person. So when i could not put enough capital of my own money to process incoming orders with 24 hours my account and his account got suspended. To get it unsuspended I had to keep processing orders and putting my money into the account. After 2 weeks, i tried to close my account and get my moneg back. However, the company charged me a 20% tax fee on the money i put in and the so called "profits" of the account. They did not give me any means of paying this tax fee and since I cannot pay it, i cannot withdraw my money. If i do not withdraw my money after paying a fee of $5,305 after 72 hours then the account will start receiving orders again. If I do not process the orders within 24 hours of receiving it then my account and the guy who vouched for me will be suspended and I still would not be able to make a withdrawl of my momey. I have asked them to deduct this tax fee from the money I am trying to take out and close this store with, but they said their system is unable to process the request. They also stated that it is their policy in regards to the timeline of how theor organization operates. When requested a copy of agreements/policies, the request goes ignored. When request to pay the tax fee they are you ready to pay and is payment ready, but they do not provide any information on how to pay the fee. So they are not allowing me to get my money back.

I ordered from Hotisian back in March. It is currently almost July and I have yet to receive my package. I have tried contacting their “customer support” several times over the months in hopes they would make it right, but still no resolution. They kept giving me the runaround, tried gaslighting me, then eventually quit responding. Their website claims they ship from LA, California, but the tracking said shipping from China. Then it claimed the package was at the “*insert my town’s name* distribution center”, when my town is lucky to even have a post office, it’s so small. And of course when I had USPS try and track it, it shows nothing. I trusted this company and they ripped me off my entire order.
