Counterfeit Product - TacticFlex

So I was directed to some flexfit work pants which I needed for my job. On the website, they show flexible, high quality, water proof, cut proof pants. They were "going out of business" so they were heavily discounted. I order two pairs, but somehow got charged for four pairs. When they arrived, the pants were too small, low quality polyester ripstop pants obviously shipped directly from China. When I contacted customer service via email, "Sophia" said they could replace them if I sent them $50 or they would refund me 10% and I could keep the pants (which I can't even wear!) Its obvious the advertised pant is not the same product they ship.

Home Improvement - Itinerant Contractors - Home Improvement Scam

2 guys stopped and said they were from a company who does all my concrete/paving work, and that they were here to resurface my driveway. They also offered to recement/level the basement floor. They resealed the driveway, then the next day started on the basement recementing. The main person said that my study roof must be replaced ASAP. I questioned why the company was doing roofing, gutters, and siding now as well as paving and he said they do. They told me that the study roof had to be replaced ASAP and that they could go the garage and the study for $60k. The main guy was incredibly high pressure, even having me pick out the shingle type. When I asked how much it would cost he said $60k. By then I was in tears. I finally convinced them that I couldn't afford the roof, which is what they really wanted. The main guy then got really dramatic and tried blaming me for not telling him first-off that I had a regular roofer, that I had misled him, that he'd told me in detail about the basement, etc. After nearly 2 hours of this back and forth, I told him if he just wanted to stop the cementing as far as he'd gotten too, that was fine. He then said the work on the driveway and the basement would be $15k. He wanted the check ASAP. I had to call and get the funds transferred to my banks, and I told him it should clear Monday 8/31. He got threatening then. I told him I'd text when the money was in the bank. They left by late afternoon, with the cement floor half-done and some tools left behind. The next day the money had been deposited but in a Pending status. I texted this and that it'd clear in 2-3 days. He texted back "So what am I supposed to do wait till middle part of next week it's not right". I texted back "Deposit the chk and iv it at that. I don't control the bank's process. It'll clear in the next 48hrs". He replied "OK" and I haven't heard a word since. Meanwhile I'm totally traumatized by the experience. I can't go to the basement, and feel utterly violated. I'm a senior citizen and they took advantage of that. Thank heavens my real paving/cement company confirmed that the man never worked for him, and my roofer said he would be able to roof the tire house and the garage/shed for way less than $60k.

I tried to close an account with TECO in the amount of $776.29. The scammer at S H S SERVICES took that payment and 100% identified themselves as TECO's 3rd party payment system KUBRA EZ PAY. They proceeded to make fraudulent transactions to teco in the amounts of $816.29 twice on 08/24/26. I received a notice in the mail that I still owed teco the original payment. It was never paid. The account according to teco customer service can not be 100% locked out but the account is zeroed out and closed with a note in the computer. The bank was contacted to be hopefully resolved. Noted for myself: Do not use websites listed on google as legitimate. The fraudulent scammers are SHS services at 877-615-4115.

Employment - Freight Tank Impostor

They called me saying I applied to this Shipping Examiner job on Thursday 8/27/26. They asked me to send front and back picture of ID and a selfie of me holding ID for a background check. They said 48 hrs will be the time to approve but I didn't get a calll until Sunday. I did the onboarding but it looked suspicious at this point so I told the supervisor I will not continue this job. After that, they contacted me with a proof at Ohio Secretary of State for the document ID which seemed recent like made a week ago which doesn't help. The supervisor demanded that I pick up the package sent to me and send it out even if I no longer want to work the job. I have blocked their contact since.

Online Purchase

Ordered a fountain pen on August 4, 2026 Got 3 different emails stating delivery would be delayed due to various reasons. Emailed seller that I wanted to cancel my order and get a refund on my payment. Seller stated "Unfortunately, due to a payment system error, we haven’t been able to process your refund directly from our end. To help us complete the refund smoothly, could you please open a dispute case for this order through your payment provider. Once it’s opened, we’ll immediately accept and issue the full refund." I contacted PayPal to file a complaint. I can no longer find the website on the internet and my emails to them are not being answered.

Online Purchase - America's Business Coach Jen Clark

I was targeted on Linked In receiving a message from Jen Clarke stating she had seen my work and would like to connect to chat "I thought I would show you my appreciation for being part of each others network ??". When I went back to find the full content of our Linkedin messages, she has removed all messages and blocked me. So I don't have a way to get the full exchange. Bottomline, I agreed to meet with her via a phone call with Zoom. The only thing she showed me on Zoom the day of the call was reviews from (what she called former clients) and a brief listing of potential resources if I were to sign up that day. I asked what the full cost of the program was and I was told it would be $9,000+ dollars. I said sorry, no way I can do that. Jen said no worries we have a payment plan. I said I had no intention of spending that kind of money. She began the hard core sales pitch of, I know you are just getting started and I can get you making $100,000 within just a few weeks by helping you target high net worth clients. I said that sounds too good to be true. More client video reviews were flashed on the screen. She indicated it is turnkey and has worked for so many. I asked her if this was something that could be used by a speaker as it seemed to be geared to product sales. She indicated it works for speakers and she has had great success. When asked names of speakers she changed the subject. I again told her there was no way I was going to sign up. She pushed how beneficial it would be and how great it would feel to have a hig net worth(he key phrase throughtout) locked in and paying me the big bucks. She asked what I could afford to pay that day. I said I am not signing up. I asked if she had iterations of her program that were less expensive to start out with. We talked in circles until I was so confused. She got me to agree to pay $400 on a credit card and then told me they would set me up with a payment plan.. all I needed to do was to apply for a credit card with 0% interest for 24 months with a high credit limit and then put the entire amount on the credit card and then I could pay it off in the next two years. I said I will never qualify for a high credit limit account. She then told me be go ahead and say that I made $650,000 a year and that would clinch a high credit limit. I said so you are asking me to lie about my income. I said this is crazy... I said I just want to stop this all right now. She insisted that we schedule another call the next day to complete the discussion. I scheduled a call the next day and then sent her a message via Lindedin: Jen, I will not be joining the meeting at 11:30 CT today. I left the call yesterday very frustrated and feeling more like I was being highly pressured rather than being encouraged. The initial request was to talk about a podcast which was just a ploy to trap me into purchasing something else. The sales technique was dreadful. No material to actually review, no refund policy, just we will work with until something happens. You talked about other programs that don’t provide what they promise but besides the high net worth clients and your claims to make that happen and some cheesy testimonial videos you offered nothing but wanted money right up front. You cheated me out of $400 dollars using this pressure technique. I want my money back. I demand a refund. I have personally received nothing for that deposit. You can say that you are working behind the scenes but I have no proof that is happening. Also, I cancelled the credit card I was forced to apply for. Thankfully there was a glitch that did not allow me to get to the account or I would have paid more to you for nothing. I did research last night and found no legitimate reviews online. No good reviews and a few disgruntled reviews about the pressure sales. I will expect to see my $400 refund immediately. I have taken dings on my credit and paid for nothing all because you reached out to me with a false request. What a scam. And asking me to tell the card company I have an income of $650,000 to get the credit limit required so you can get paid. I am sorry but I am a Christian and I don’t want to lie. So wrong! I immediately contacted my credit card company and set up a dispute. The Credit Card company wanted documentation. But I had none. Though I had asked many times during the call for a Jen to send me a copy of the program and information about what I would get, she skirted that request over and over. I did not get a receipt of any kind either email or text other than the email from my credit card company. So my dispute lacked "evidence" that they required. They reached out to Jen who swiftly provided copies program info, refund policy and a receipt. But none of these were shown as being sent to me via email or any other means. They were just pictures of the items on a page. And the credit card company sided with Jen and held the charge on my credit card. I am angry at my credit card company and more angry at LinkedIn for allowing someone with such devious business practices to be allowed to approach LinkedIn members. I am sending a report to LinkedIn as I am finishing this report and I will be calling my credit card company again. DON'T FALL FOR THIS. CHECK FOR REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS BEFORE YOU GET ON THE PHONE. LOOK FOR REVIEWS ON THE WEBSITE THAT ARE LISTED WITH NAMES AND THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE GENERAL COMPANY. IF THEY DON'T HAVE OTHER PEOPLE RECOMMENDING THEM, THEY CAN MANIPULATE THE REVIEWS. THIS WEBSITE: COACHJENCLARKE.COM DOESN'T HAVE A PHONE NUMBER, ADDRESS, LOCATION OF THE BUSINESS, NO DOWNLOADABLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM, THE COST, THE REFUND POLICY OR THE TIMEFRAME OF THE PROGRAM. IT IS ALL PROVIDED VIA THE CALL AND ZOOM. YOU NEVER GET A COPY OF ANYTHING. BEWARE.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

Wife saw an advert online for a baby carrier from a company called Veliert. The website looks legitimate but the price is suspiciously low. On investigating further, this seems to be a scam website pretending to be a product almost identical to the brand MiniMeis. They even have a MiniMeis video on their site (https://veliert.com/)
