Facebook Ad- 7/26/2026- I ordered 1 Dual Infrared Light Heating Massaging Waist Belt for a total charge of $116.94. I received the belt. On 8/12/26 I received a message that I was being charged 39.99 per month for a subscription for Revornnyn Club- whatever that is. I sent them a message to info@get revornynhealth.com that I had no knowledge of a subscription to a club & to cancel it immediately on 8/13/26. On 8/14/26 They replied back to the effect that they would take care of it. My Sam's card was charged the 39.99 & it was paid. I just received a reminder that 39.99 was going to be deducted again on 9/16/26.

I saw an ad on instagram. I watched a 30 minute video for Memohoney. The offer was buy 3 bottles get 3 free. Take one daily. After purchase was completed another video came up stating for best results to take 3 times daily. I immediately called to cancel the order. I was given another number to call in which no one answered. I was receiving many texts offering me more discounted product. I kept responding to each text that I wanted to cancel the order. It was a Sunday afternoon so I tried on Monday but again no answer. I called Tuesday morning and was told it was already shipped. If I wanted to return it I could but I would have to pay for shipping charges myself and there would be a 20% restocking fee. I then received an email apparently from customer support asking why I was canceling which I was surprised with as I was told the product already shipped. I informed them of my reasons why and got a response that they would look into it. That was 3 days ago, I haven't heard a word and have yet to receive any product. Each text is coming from a different number.

I searched for a local locksmith on Google and hired this business based on their top ranking and "verified" status. When the technician arrived to handle a standard lockout, he immediately claimed he would have to drill out the lock. I asked several times if there were any alternative options, such as picking the lock, but the technician repeatedly insisted that drilling was the only way.The technician proceeded to drill into my door lock for nearly two hours but failed to ever unlock the door. He ultimately abandoned the job, claiming he needed to return to his office to retrieve a different tool. He later contacted me to say a colleague had taken the necessary tool out of town to Milwaukee, and he would not be able to return until the next morning—leaving my property completely unsecured and the job entirely unfinished.I was forced to call a second, reputable locksmith to resolve the emergency. This professional informed me that any qualified locksmith could have easily picked my original lock without any drilling required. Furthermore, the first technician had completely mangled the lock mechanism, failing to even perform a proper drilling technique. Because of the extensive, negligent property damage caused by the first company, the second locksmith had to perform complex repairs, resulting in a final cost of $400 instead of a standard $100 lock-picking fee. This business uses predatory, deceptive tactics to destroy property and inflate costs, only to abandon the customer mid-job.

I have been getting random phone calls daily for over 3 months now with some company that has approved my loan - but I haven't applied for any loan. They continue to call from different numbers day and night, leave voicemails for me to call them back if I don't answer, and call from many different numbers...with the same message left, but different 'contact people' for me to ask for. I have taken their call 3 or 4 times and asked to be taken off their calling list, but they still keep calling. I've blocked them, but they call from another number. I'm recovering from surgery and need quite time. How do I get them to stop?

Hey, Chloe Morgan calling from Foxview Financial. I'm an underwriting and I did reach out recently. Getting to you early on this. It's worth reading before anything else hits your plate today. Trans Union and Equifax still have your file showing a pre-selection for a $41,380 hardship personal loan. No hard credit check, same day funding available, payments around $451 a month. And look, I know it's summer and in August. Now things get busy. I'm not trying to pile on. I just didn't want your pre-approval to sit in a voicemail folder and expire without you knowing what was actually in it. One payment, lower rate, cards back to zero. That's the whole thing. Call me back at 833-768-3180. Me or anyone on my team can pull your pre-selection right now. Closes tomorrow, Saturday at 3 p.m. 833-768-3180. Hope to hear from you.

Home Improvement - Home Improvement - JC appliance repair

Came here to warn others about this business. I asked them to look into fixing my fridge and he came out right away. After diagnostic, I was told the issue was a broken part that needed to be replaced so I agreed and had him ordered it. I had to pay upfront a large deposit prior to getting the work started and I stupidly agreed. A few hours later, I changed my mind and ask for a refund but he refuse and kept my money hostage so I had no choice but to continue. Later he called back, changed his mind but would only refund me less than half because he already ordered the parts and it cost $$$ to restock, etc. I felt forced to continue with their service. Since I already paid, I decided to see if he could back up his claim with his skills. Few days later, the parts came in, he spent 30-40 minutes, and I was told to wait and give it time. I gave it a day, and the fridge still did not work. When I called him about it, he refused to take accountability. Says it is not guaranteed, thus he didn’t charge the full amount but only ask for a deposit. ????. When I pointed out the error in his diagnostic assessment, how he misdiagnosed the problem which led me to spend money on the wrong thing , he agreed to a partial refund. I still lost $400. Questionable Skills. Hard to work with. If he had properly diagnosed the problem and realized there were multiple issues and properly informed the customer, I would just get a new fridge outright. Website says” each repair is covered by service and parts warranty”. Sure buddy. 2nd- he refuse to refund the money 4 hours after I paid him, is that even legal? Red flag- Beware this company does not give invoices or receipt.

I am trying to get teeth or dentures that you put in hot water. I ordered from this website Lynch Molly ([email protected]) and they sent me snap on with pellets and I can't use that. I have no teeth for a year, I lost a lot a weight & cant eat. I can only drink, and was hoping to try these. I have seen these on several websites but was looking for the least expensive because i'm not working and don't have much money and now they keep telling me im only going to get back 30% of my money and i dont think i should have to lose that much money. Here's a picture of what i was supposed to have gotten, the top is what they sent & the bottom is what I was supposed to have gotten. I keep saying I want at least $26.00 and they keep saying only 30% cause they lost shipping money and i have said i can send it back but it doesn't matter what I say they keep saying over and over 30% is all im getting and im stressed out about this plus all my other health issues. SO maybe you can get me at least $26.00 of my $33.00 i lost so i can try someone else. Karen P.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I placed an order on 8/9 for $500+ on Ashley Bennett dallas site, but the payment was processed through a third-party payment platform (Whop). After a lot of waiting and confusing emails from them about tracking and how my order was not complete or pending, the Items were delivered 8/24 and did not match the color design or quality or fabric shown in the online product photos. I requested a return the same day I received the order — well within the company's published 30-day return policy. Since then, the company has: failed to provide a prepaid return label; sent a return form directing me to ship items to the United Kingdom at my own expense, despite the business presenting itself as based in Dallas, TX; and repeatedly offered a 50% "goodwill" refund in exchange for keeping the items, while providing scripted, non-responsive customer service replies to requests for an actual resolution. The business address listed in their policies (8687 North Central Expressway, Dallas, TX 75225) corresponds to NorthPark Center, a shopping mall — not an office or storefront. Other consumers report the identical pattern: misrepresented goods, a partial-refund offer to avoid a real return, and a UK return address inconsistent with the company's stated US location. I am seeking a full refund and have also filed a dispute with my card issuer.

I ordered a Deluxe Kit from Kind Science June 22, to try their products. Received & some of the kit contents I liked. July 23rd I noticed an unauthorized transaction on my credit card in the amount of $92.08. I immediately called their customer service number at 800-210-3379 & talked to a representative who explained along with the Kit I ordered in June, I was automatically signed up to a three month subscription. I apologized and explained I did not see that notation and only wanted to try the kit and to please cancel the subscription. The representative advised me it was too late to stop the first month payment and shipment but she will cancel my order and no more charges applied to card. August 22nd I noticed another unauthorized transaction on my card for $92.08. I went online to the Kind Science website and started a Chat to resolve this issue. Agent Jonna assisted and informed me the subscription is still active and will help me cancel but cannot refund my money. This agent told me that I was not fully aware on how this Deluxe Kit was a promotion that started a three month subscription. I was told my subscription is Now cancelled and I will not be receiving any more shipments but I will continue to be charged through September. I understand I did not see the subscription rider and am out the first $92.08 but I am upset about the new and future charges. I feel like I’ve been scammed and feel terrible about it. I was hoping Kind Science would be more honest and helpful.

I said no. they asked information as to whether i've travelled or gotten onto public wifi. They gave my some confirmation numbers and they transferred me to another person who said i needed to add a zelle recipient so they can cancel the transactions. That's when I realized something was up and I hung up the phone. I checked my various accounts and saw no activity so I'm guessing they were phishing for information or were going to ask me to send money via zelle to someone.

Counterfeit Product - Clarendale

I made a purchase of pants, size medium. They arrived too snug in waist, but labeled XL! They also shrank 2 inches in length when I washed before attempting to wear. I contacted customer service and was issued a store credit of $64.99. I ordered a different item, a sweater, but received a very poor quality shirt instead, not at all the same item, and 3 of the buttons wouldn't even go through the buttonholes. I contacted the company and was told to keep the item and they'd refund me 20%. When I refused they offered 30%, then 40%, or I could return the item for a refund. But after reading others' experiences with this company, such as having to pay return postage to CHINA, I decided to write to you instead. I don't know what recourse I have.
