I purchased 3 items of clothing from the website of what appeared to be a mother and daughter owned boutique in Casper, Wy. What I received were ill fitting items made from cheap material, similar to what is used in Halloween costumes. When I attempted to return, I learned this company is actually located in China. They told me to keep my items and continued offering me percentage refunds when I requested a return address. UPS quoted me over $200 in mailing charges for the address they finally provided. Please note, this company uses multiple domain names, Lucy and Claire, Lucy and Clara, Lucy and Clare.

Phishing

At 5:24 p.m. today, I received a phone call from this number on my landline (540-657-0281). When the phone rang, I answered, said “hello,” and heard static on the line and a male voice. The person said, Oh gosh, can you hear me?” I said “yes” and there was a prolonged silence. I said, “Hello?” and the person came back on the line. Then I hung up. I have heard about scams where the caller prompts you to say “Hello” and splices the audio to set you up for financial theft. I am therefore reporting this call. It was very strange and I have never heard of any organization that identifies itself as “Police Committee.”

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

Boardwalk Resort Vacations - Multi-Level Marketing Scam This company operates as a multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme disguised as a travel club. Here's how the scam works: The Setup: * Charges $7,500 upfront for a "wholesale license" to access travel discounts * Charges $149 annually to renew membership * Promises "exclusive member-only rates" on hotels, resorts, and cruises The Red Flags: * Offers $1,000 referral commission if you recruit other members (classic MLM) * When asked about a cooling-off period, the sales representative explicitly stated "there is no cooling-off period"—this is false. Federal law (FTC Cooling-Off Rule) requires a 3-day cooling-off period for travel clubs * Claims "20 years in business" but only registered with BBB on May 6, 2026 * Contract uses New Mexico law (choice-of-law clause) to try to override California consumer protections * No independent verification of actual travel discounts provided What to Watch For: If contacted by Boardwalk Resort Vacations, know that cooling-off periods ARE legally required. Any company claiming otherwise is committing fraud. The $1,000 referral structure means they profit more from recruitment than actual travel bookings.

Employment - Nexus Workforce LLC / Timothy Kimutai

I was offered an online positon as a data entry clerk on July 11th from a company calling themselves Nexus Workforce LLC. I thought it looked like good opportunity and was naive enough to except. I later learned the following week from my sister in law that the place was a fraud and I was scammed. I only worked for them a couple days and have not been in contact with them and have not done any work since than. I did however give them the information for my old bank account number with Truist bank, which is has been closed for a while because there was no money in it. Unfortunately I did give them my social security number when I filled out a W-4 form that they wanted me to fill out online. I did save all my paper work but unfortunately and foolishly I ended up deleting a few of the documents by mistake while I was transferring my documents to my new email address. I have closed and shutdown my old one as well my gmail account and have updaed all my other accounts and have been in touch with the three major credit bureaus as well to file a fraud alert. I have also been trying to see If I can retrieve the documents I $but I am worried I may be unable too. I have, however, also received a check from them in the mail. They did say it was coming. It came by Fedex. It is for $2850. They said it was for a $500 signing bonus as well as 2350 fro educaional oppotunities. Not quite sure what that means. I have no intention of cashing it and am uncomfortable hanging on to it. I feel very foolish about this whole thing and have been working to try to cover all my basis and to make sure I haven't missed anything as well. The name of the man who supposedly hired me is Timothy Kimutai. If that is his name and he is supposed to be a HR Manager. I just don't feel comfortable with this whole thing.

Online Purchase - Hooma

Placed order, received regular processing and shipping updates. Cost was $22.98 which was pulled 6/17/26. Shortly after, I received a fraud alert from my bank, asking if I made a purchase for $70.00, I didnt recognize the charge or vendor and my bank cancelled the card and blocked the charge (I am just now realizing this was related to the Hooma charge thanks to the other reviews). A month later I finally received noticey item was out for delivery, the next status was that it wasn't delivered because no one was home, I wasn't aware I needed to be home, we have items received all the time and they leave it at the door. So, I took a full personal day off work to wait for the next delivery attempt the next day. I was home all day and nothing was received, the next update was the driver experienced vehicle breakdown and the package was returned to the depot. At this point I asked what delivery service was being used I could pick it up personally. No response. The next update was that driver was attempted but Delivery Attempted but unable to access address, incorrect building entry code. Package held at depot. I let them know that I didn't provide building entry access as I don't live in a building and there is no access codes required, packages are left on my porch. The next update was the package was misrouted, the next update was that there were road restrictions due to a local event. Package at depot, re-dispatch shortly I emailed there was no events, we live in the country and there are no road blocks. The next update was the depot was experiencing backlog and the shipping label was damaged. Finally the package was out for delivery yesterday and delivered today, but noted Your order has been delivered. If you have not received it within 24 hours, please reply to this email and we will follow up with the carrier on your behalf. I emailed asking why I would need to wait if the ordered wasn't received, I never received it. So I checked my bank for the purchase and the vendors is a JM Grateful Newborn, the phone number listed in the transaction is for. JM dog company and the physical address from the updates is in Sheridan Wyoming.

Employment - CVS Health / impostor

I was contacted by someone identifying herself as Lizandra Quinonez, claiming to be a recruiter for CVS Health. She reached out regarding remote nursing opportunities and stated that my oncology, hematology, bone marrow transplant, and charge nurse experience made me a strong candidate for positions within CVS Health. The individual communicated using a Gmail address rather than a CVS Health email address. Although she had a LinkedIn profile claiming to work for CVS Health, I later found reports online describing a nearly identical scam involving the same name. After I explained that I could not pursue new employment because my current employer is sponsoring my EB-3 green card, she respected my decision and asked me to send my resume so she could keep it on file for future opportunities. After reviewing my resume, she claimed it received a "39/100" score based on their screening benchmarks. She complimented my clinical experience and repeatedly emphasized that my resume—not my qualifications—was the reason for the low score. She then offered to introduce me to a resume specialist she recommended, stating there was "no obligation" but suggesting the specialist could improve how my resume performs with applicant tracking systems (ATS). After receiving this message, I searched the BBB Scam Tracker and found a report describing an almost identical experience involving the same recruiter name. In that report, the victim was eventually sent fake hiring documents, an I-9, and instructed to deposit a fraudulent check to purchase equipment. Fortunately, I did not provide any sensitive information beyond my resume. I did not provide my Social Security number, banking information, driver's license, passport, or immigration documents. I am submitting this report to warn other job seekers to be cautious of recruiters who: Claim to represent CVS Health while communicating through a Gmail address. Praise your qualifications but assign a low "resume score." Recommend or refer you to a resume writing service or specialist. Ask you to continue through an unofficial hiring process outside of CVS Health's normal application system. Always verify recruiters independently through the company's official careers website before sharing personal information or participating in the hiring process.

Retail Business - Locksmith Pros

I needed an extra fob key for my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I had obtained the spare fob online, so I just needed it to be programmed. I called several locksmith companies that I found on the internet. One of them was Locksmith Pros, with a phone number of 888-491-0910. A female voice answered, got my number, and said that an agent would call me right back. I received several calls from an 800 number, but no one seemed to be on the other line. Finally, I received a call back from the 888 number, with the lady saying that an agent would call me right away with a bid. I got a call a minute later, with the phone ID of Karni Aharon, with a number of 720-674-9057. He quoted me a price of $300 some dollars. I explained that I already had the fob, to which he said he could do it for $120, which included the $30 service call. I said that was too high, and he asked me what price would be suitable for me. I said $90, to which he agreed. I asked when he would like to set an appointment and whether I should go to his shop. He said he only did mobile calls and that he could come in about 40 minutes. It was 8:00 PM then, and I wondered about a legitimate locksmith working that late at night, but I said OK.

 

He arrived at 8:45 PM. I showed him the existing fob, the new fob, and the car. He took the new fob to test it to see if it had the correct wave length. After examining it, he said it was ok. He then asked if I would like him to cut the key for the door for only $70. I said that was too high. He then hooked up an instrument to the Jeep’s wiring and began to work on the fob. It was raining, so he suggested that I go in the house, since it would take a while. I did so. In a few minutes he came to the door and stated that he had to purchase an order from Jeep, along with a password, and that together the cost would be $300 some dollars. I began to suspect a scam, since I had had two other bids from legitimate locksmiths for $120. I told him, no, that was too high and that I would not be doing business with him that night. He placed a phone call and talked to someone, speaking in a foreign language that I did not understand, although it sounded like a middle-Eastern language. He then told me that I owed him $50 for the service call. I gave him a $20 bill and said good night to him. He got in his white late model van, with Utah license plate # 1JSW9, and drove about 200 yards down the road. He then parked with his lights still on for about 10 minutes, probably making a phone call to his handler.

 

I realized they had a scam going for programming fobs for cars. If I had given him all that he had asked for, it would have been over $500, with no assurance that my new fob was programmed correctly.

Online Purchase - Molision INC

I purchased some t-shirts and with shipping it came to $40.00. I waited a bit over 3 weeks. When I traced the trace order the trace said it arrived during the night at 4:54 AM. Not possible. I live in a gated community. The gate is closed at that hour. Now I can't get ahold of anyone at their phone number. Just a recording by someone rather upset about them using his number. That's sad...Also, no response from my email. Thank You

Counterfeit Product

I saw an ad on Instagram for Articulating Plastic flags with imbedded magnets. Original cost was $24.97. I ended up paying $38.97, 37% tax. It took two months for the items to arrive. The first tracking had the items end up in San Diago. Then it stopped. I contacted PayPal to cancel the order, and all of the sudden, they were reshipping. When they arrived, they looked nothing like the ones shown in the ad. I tried to attach one to my metal door and it just slid down. The magnets were not imbedded and could not hold the weight of the material. Contacted PayPal. If I send the items back, I will get my money back. It cost $22.40 to send the items back. That is 57% of the purchase price.

Online Purchase - Jays Oster Trucking Inc

Saw a 2019 Entregra Qwest on there website for $39,000.00 USD which is a very good price so i emailed and talked with a guy named James. He had a foreign ancient mid east I think. Now a *** *******! He sent me agreement's and said monies were going into a escort account named Golden State Auto Hub LLC as per the agreement's. They sent invoice which everything was looking legit so we sent the monies. The next day i review the invoices and thing were not making sense. The bank name was WELLS FARGO and the Bank Address was Chase Bank down the street from Wells Fargo and the routing number was a Wells Fargo in MInneapols. I also notice there company identification number was from another company named Jay Oster Trucking but they deliver logs. I phone that number and the owner told me to say away it was a scam. Also did reverse imaging on photos and it showed the same photos from a auction in Dec selling for $82,000.00 USD FLAGS started shooting up. and i felt deflated. We tried and reverse the wirer transfer June 5, 26 but unfortunately our bank came back today July 28/ 26 saying they were unsuccessful that Wells Fargo wouldn't return the funds. I feel i've loss trust in society. Not even the banks could help with this scam! Im Pissed!! These ******** went through alot to set this scheme up and suck us right in. Never again!

Debt Collections - Debt Collections Scam

Call came in with an area code that was local to me. They claimed to be from the delivery department of “Documents Procedure and Conduct” and were attempting to serve me with a civil law suit involving a Verizon account that was delinquent enough to warrant a civil lawsuit against me. They had SOME correct info of mine and tried to get me to verify more by attempting to confirm an address they sent this documentation to only 1: I’ve never had an account with Verizon for anything, ever! And 2: The address they claimed to attempt to serve me at and “know for certain” that it’s where I live because “they have the very best attorneys in the country verifying my info and have confirmed this to be a correct address” I’VE NEVER LIVED AT AND CURRENTLY SITS AS A VACANT LOT and has been this way for over 15 years! I disagreed with the woman about the validity of this claim and she proceeded to get hostile and make threats finally telling me that there was more now chance to settle out of court and that I would now be in contempt and a warrant issued for my arrest and for the next ten years my wages would be garnished for up to 53%! I laughed, told her I wished her the best of luck with all this then hung up.

Online Purchase - Starluck Flowers

ordered flowers to be delivered in another state. I paid by credit card. They said they would be delivered the next day, but instead sent email stating the order has been cancelled. They keep apologizing, stating they're "working on the refund" but its been about 2 weeks and have not received it yet! I have initiated a dispute with my bank now. What a hassle and what a horrible company. Beware!
