Counterfeit Product - Wilson Family Palm Beach

I placed an order with The Wilson Family Palm Beach for 3 clothing items totaling $135.88. The items I received were of substandard quality and unidentifiable fabrics and were nonwearable. I reached out to the company to return the items as soon as I looked at each item, for a full refund. They offered a 10% refund! On the website, they show a policy for refunds within 30 days of receipt of products. There is no store in Palm Beach. They only ship from China. They spin stories about the business and show beautiful pictures of clothing that they are unable to provide for their customers. This is not a legitimate website and should be avoided at all cost.

All the info says free refunds for 30 days, but once they have your money they then offer only 15% refund. You order thinking product is coming from Nashville, TN, the item I believe is made in China, they want you to pay to return it to the UK and when I look back at the credit card reciept, it was billed from New York.

I was contacted by a supposed debt collector for a bill that was over 4 years old. When I contacted them to figure out what this bill was for and to try and obtain a copy of this bill, I was told that they would not send me a copy of it and was told that they had already sent me a copy of it in March of 2023 when they acquired the debt, and that they do not send things out more than once. So since they sent this supposed copy of the bill three and an half years ago they refused to send me another one, even after countless times of saying that I have never received anything from them and this is the first I am hearing of this bill and that I was sent to a debt collector. After some research, I discovered that I had already paid that bill in February 2023 to the original company, prior to them ever acquiring this debt. So not I’m not sure how they were even able to get this information.

I have scheduled MRI Scanner equipment move from Florida to IL through "Joes moving and storage" on May 8th whose office is in MD. They sent me an invoice for $3,000 with payment to "Wholesale Plaza" whose account is in Florida. It didn't look right to me initially but the wire transfer is made. They sent me a tracking link. I continuously watched their tracking link. After 10 days, I emailed them numerous times. At last, I got an email saying the there's an outstanding storage fee and that is why the package is not picked up. I decided to cancel the shipment and asked for refund many times. No response. Finally, I agreed to cover 50% of the storage fee as I it already took long time without end. I paid on July 27th. Tracking link moved the status to "Picked up by courier". Status did not change for more than 12 days. Their customer service is a WhatsApp number. I called the WhatsApp number as 2 weeks passed by. No one picked up. But I get a WhatsApp message saying that the truck entered into an accident. MRI scanner is covered by insurance of $500,000. Insurance money will go the owner of the equipment which is " TRACY ILACQUA". I paid $3,000 on May 8th and additional $2,025 towards storage fee on July 27th. So far, I have neither received the equipment nor any kind of refund. I checked for major accidents involving medical imaging equipment in the last one week, there weren't any. Moving company as well as TRACY ILACQUA are fraud. I request you to investigate into the moving company. Invoices and payment receipts can be provided.

There was an ad on Facebook for Boston Scally Caps on clearance. I ordered two caps. I got an email saying my caps have been shipped, but it wasn’t from Boston Scally Caps. It was from Melvessina, not from Boston Scally as advertised. The ad used the same spokesman as BSC, which looking back it was probably AI. It was supposed shipped by the same company (DHL) as BSC uses, so I didn’t think much of it. The tracking supposedly went through Los Angeles customs, which I found odd since it was supposed to ship from Boston. The tracking afterwards made no sense at all. A month later, Melvessina claimed it was delivered; however, there was no documentation of the delivery, just their claim it was delivered. I emailed and questioned Melvessina about the delivery. They said they would investigate it, but I never heard back after their initial reply. I tried to follow up a week later but never heard back from them.

Warning to anyone filing a trademark application: Be extremely cautious of unsolicited calls or texts claiming that additional payment or legal services are required to complete your USPTO application. After filing my application, I received a text followed by a call from a man identifying himself as Marcus Adams, a “Verification Officer.” He provided a badge number containing “USP,” an OMR reference code, and details about my trademark filing. Because of the official sounding credentials and his knowledge of my application, I believed he was affiliated with the USPTO. He warned me not to share the OMR code because of trademark fraud, which made him appear even more credible. He then told me I needed to work with Lamont Law Group to complete the trademark process. I was offered five-year and ten-year service options, advised to add another trademark classification, and told that a licensed attorney was required. I gave recorded verbal approval based on the representations made during the call. My account was then charged $1,025 by a company called Quantive, even though Quantive had never been identified or disclosed to me. I have been unable to reach anyone at Quantive. I later checked my application directly through the official USPTO system and learned that it had not even been assigned for review. I reported the transaction as fraudulent and disputed it with my bank. Lamont Law Group has emailed and called me. I have not responded during this investigation. Please remember that information in a trademark application becomes publicly available. A caller’s knowledge of your name, application, or trademark does not prove that the person represents the USPTO. Verify everything independently through the official USPTO website and contact information before providing payment details or recorded authorization.

Other - Vehicle Sale Scam

On [date], my daughter and I met with the defendant because he is a mechanic and we trusted his professional judgment. We paid him $45 to inspect a vehicle we were considering purchasing from another seller. During that inspection, the defendant ridiculed the seller, told us the vehicle was “a piece of ****,” and strongly advised us not to buy it. The seller apologized repeatedly and appeared embarrassed.Immediately afterward, the defendant began trying to sell us his own vehicle. He stated that his vehicle ran perfectly, that he used it regularly, and that it had no issues. My daughter and I explained to him multiple times that she is in her final year of college and in clinical rotations, and that she must have reliable transportation to graduate. We told him clearly that we could not afford another vehicle that would break down, as her previous car’s transmission had just failed.We later learned that the vehicle the defendant discouraged us from purchasing was sold to another student at my daughter’s school. That student reported that the vehicle runs great and has no problems. This confirms that the defendant intentionally misrepresented the condition of that vehicle in order to manipulate us into purchasing his own defective vehicle. His actions demonstrate deliberate deception and fraudulent inducement.Based on his statements and his position as a mechanic, we purchased his vehicle for $1,900. Within approximately twenty minutes of driving it, the vehicle broke down and would not start again.The defendant failed to provide a bill of sale or a valid, transferable title, making the sale legally incomplete under Oklahoma law.After the vehicle broke down, I requested a refund. The defendant refused, stating he had already spent the money. He then told us to return the vehicle so he could “re-sell” it to someone else and pay us back afterward. This is an attempted double-sale, which is illegal and further demonstrates fraudulent intent. I have already filed a small claims lawsuit against him.
