I was to receive & inspect packages & now I can’t access the dashboard due to a virus on my personal equipment. I am also not able to login on my mobile device nor a public domain. I notified the company yesterday & today I being harassed & threatened with charges when I’ve already explained & no longer want to work for this company.

Stated they would be taking me to court and stopping me from getting my paycheck until they were paid over $4000.00 if i didnt make arrangements to pay it back today. They make you think you must have forgotten that you took the loan.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Hotel Planner

I called an 800 number for the Hyatt Buffalo in Amherst NY to plan an upcoming stay. I thought I was speaking to someone at the front desk who was helping me make the reservations. The reservations were canceled via text shortly after because our plans had changed and I received confirmation numbers confirming that the reservations were canceled. When I received my credit card statement, I learned that all of the room reservations had been fully charged to my credit card. The third party who disguised themselves as the front desk was Hotel Planner. They pretended to be Hyatt and they are actually AI!! Be very careful. I have been trying to get a refund on my credit card and they keep saying they are opening a case and will get back to me.

Counterfeit Product

The site advertised on Facebook and I found the site via the internet. I placed an order for a beautiful pink button down sweater. When the product arrived it was entirely a different material with a somewhat close pattern and very poorly made. Very disappointing. When I contracted them for a refund I was told to take pictures of the label on top and to peel off the top label an photo that one too. You could not remove the top label without comprising the data on the label under the top one. The customer support office showed CA 92025, but the webpage showed a very strange country I did not know. I was also told I would only receive a partial refund. I did contact Capital One with the same information. I can be reached at ************, if needed. Thank you, ***** ******

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare - 4U Nature, DermaCept, Grupo BHEver, Vita Care Nature Health

My elderly mother saw an add on her instagram feed that she thought featured Terry Dubrow selling DermaCept health supplements and purchased an order. The ad was an AI deepfake and ever since then we have been trying to contact the company to cancel the order and get a refund. The order confirmation came from the email [email protected] with the phone number (323)287-3066. When we reached out we received an email from customer service agent Eduarda from the email address [email protected]. Her email loaded with the company name "4U Nature" but her email signature had "Grupo BHEver" and also listed another website; https://vitacarenaturehealth.com/. Both email communications referenced the same order number 0ACB5B2E00 so they are connected. Eduarda is refusing to refund the medication which we have asked to return the unopened bottles, and instead is only offering credit. She states that the order is not a subscription yet in the chase transaction page it is listed as "business services" from DermaCept which usually indicates a subscription.

Credit Cards

Voicemail left: Good morning, Sophia Perez calling from Bayview Finance. I work in underwriting. Getting to you early on this. It's worth reading before anything else hits your plate today. Trans Union and Equifax finished their August update, and your file came back with a preapproval for a $41,380 hardship personal loan. No hard credit check. Same day funding available. Payments around $451 a month. What most people do with this preapproval is consolidate everything. Visa, store cards, any balance carrying a high rate, one payment, lower rate, cards back to zero. It's just a cleaner way to run the finances, and honestly, a good move after summer wraps up. Call me at 855-733-0348 when you get a minute. I'll give you the straight picture on exactly what you'd qualify for. Preapproval window closes today, Thursday at 5 PM. Again, 855-733-0348. Have a good morning.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

We are a national business with hundreds of retail locations. They would trick our managers into thinking they were legitimate or vetted by the main office, send product, then email managers for "confirmation" of orders that were never placed. Some managers used the product, for which we paid. Then the "AR" from RGM continues to harass us as to whether the cheque has cleared, sending more invoices, engaging our AP department, etc. It's horrible.

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. I even emailed the founder to ensure everything was legit. There was a email response that ensured it was. Then I even signed the offer letter. 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.

Online Purchase - The Paw Parent

I ordered a joint supplement from this company, and paid via PayPal the same day (July 1, 2026). On August 4th, I received an email from them that my order was delivered. After contacting their customer support team that I did not receive my order, they sent me 'tracking' info from their 'shipment carrier', ZORANO LIMITED. The tracking info showed it was dropped at the USPS postal office in the middle of the night (12:17am) on a Sunday and left the USPS post office about 2.5 hours later on that same Sunday (2:55 am). Tracking info listed delivery at 11:25 am at my house (door/house). There was no delivery at my house - USPS does not deliver on a Sunday at my house. I receive daily USPS Informed Delivery emails, and no package was included in any delivery by the post office the week before or after. After contacting the Paw Parent support team, I was asked to check with neighbors, they asked me to be patient for the delivery, and ultimately they shared via email ZORANO LIMITED's tracking info. After several emails back and forth, they stopped responding. Their phone number listed on their website doesn't work. I ultimately escalated and filed a claim with PayPal, who denied my claim because they refer to this "tracking" info from ZORANO Limited. If you do not want to get scammed, please stay AWAY from Paw Parent company, they are not trustworthy, and neither is ZORANO Limited.

Counterfeit Product - Bennet & Claire Boston Boutique

I ordered a pair of orthopedic sandals & paid for them using the SHOP app. I ordered the sandals a size to big. When I received the shoes, they were 2 sizes to small. I contacted the Bennett & Claires customer service and asked how do I return the item and receive a refund. They responded that if I paid $15.96 for shipping, they'll replace the shoes with another shoe of my preference and I can keep the shoes they sent me. I responded that I would prefer to just send back what they sent me and receive my refund and that I didn't want a replacement shoe. They responded with the exact same option of sending me a replacement, or offering me a %15 refund which is $7.50, or returning the item back to Asia with me paying for shipping in order to get my refund. Meanwhile, the so called boutique is supposed to be in Boston USA. They're not willing to give me an address to send the shoes back. The company keep trying to get me to keep the shoes and offer me a replacement that I clearly do not want. My mistake is not reading the reviews about this company before I placed an order. But I do want to stop this from happening to anyone else. False advertising and refusal to allow the customers to return a poor product and receive a refund is horrible business. Its clear that this business isn't ran in the USA as advertised and ran in Asia. All I want to do is return the shoes and receive a refund and this company is doing everything in it power to stop me from doing this. I would like for this to be investigated.

The office of Franco and wife intend to file a civil judgment through Douglas County in 24 business hours, and you do have a right to speak with them and gather more information before they file.

Thank you. When I returned their call today, he was very rude. He answered a Tom (forgot last name). I asked did I reach Franco and Weiss and he said yes. They also knew the last four digits of my social security number. At first he said I owed $3168.00, then he changed it to $1480.39 from a loan from November of 2018 that i didn’t recall the name of. So when i asked questions, he got mad and kept saying mean things like: that’s what they all say etc. I told him I’d do research on a loan and call him back to figure it out.

I was contacted twice over Monster.com by people claiming to represent the company, both of whom shared links to Microsoft Teams, and I had accepted the second link. At the time of writing this description, I have been in contact with a supposed "supervisor" of the company for several days, with no profile or available details. They have been shady and dismissive of concerns and criticisms, insisting that I should print out a pre-filled check to submit over mobile banking (and of which I was, at the time, desperate enough to go along with, while it is legal in my home state, it is still highly suspicious), and my bank thankfully called to alert me of potential fraud and put the check on a one year hold. They refuse to take reasonable choices that a legitimate business would, such as not requesting that employees print out checks, or supplying required hardware themselves. The chat in Microsoft Teams was edited, deleting the messages of and around my first inquiry of why they were not simply doing direct deposit, and then, after the deposit was put on hold for being potentially fraudulent, they insisted on repeating the same tactic, while giving a nonsensical spiel about not doing direct deposits on hardware purchases for remote employees. The check they provided used the address of a photo print shop by the name of Photoworks SF, which I do not know if it's a part of the scam, while the check was from US Bank Na, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, despite the company being supposedly based out of San Francisco, California.

Received a voicemail from Michelle Reed at TJ Grissom and associates saying I owed a debt and they would be garnishing wages if not paid, gave a court docket number. When sent the “paperwork” for an agreement it was listed as a Citi Serve card which I can’t find any legit info on. When asked why the court docket number doesn’t exist at the county court they told me it was at, they said once they hadn’t filed it yet and once they did then that would be the official docket number. Court said no, that’s absolutely not how that works. When asked why I couldn’t find their business name with the P.O. Box they have on Google she stated it was because they don’t have a website yet. I asked for the debt validation letter. Still waiting on that. I’m guessing they have to make up one first.
