A site mimicking the Frost Buddy site advertised a sale. It comes up first in Google when searching Frost Buddy. It says the card info cannot be verified and the transactio never goes through, but they took my card info because a fraudulent transaction appeared two days later.

I received a letter at my old office mailing address (haven't been there for almost 10 years). This letter was from Richard White, "a partner at MAXIM GLOBAL LLP, a distinguished law firm based in Canada". It is related to unclaimed Accidental Death Benefits of $13.6 million for "Late Mr. Norbert ****", and, due to being unable to locate any existing relatives or claimants to his estate, is offering to split 90% of the funds with me, with the other 10% going to charitable causes. 2 email addresses are provided for follow-up: [email protected] and [email protected]

Ordered Asics Novablast 6 Running shoes from Weston Blake on August 8th 2026. Item arrived August 23 2026. After inspection of shoes I noticed differences from Weston Blakes site and Asics main site. The colors were off on the upper. The font on the tongue was the wrong color and the sticker in the shoe showing the serial number was fake, showing a known fraudulent model number. The box serial number did not match the shoes either, new running shoes have serial numbers matching the box, in this case it did not.

They reached out via email offering coupons at a lower price. The catch is you would need to purchase them. Once purchased, the coupons won’t work and you’ll need to reach out to the customer support. Most of the time their game is to tire you out so you give up on responding but they also take the time to lash out at you and sell your information to others.

They sent me ancobfirmation email for my purchase which links me to a "404 (page does not exist)." Page on their site. I have no recourse other than disputing the charge, but I think they may have renamed it. I'm having trouble finding the transaction.
On 8/22/26 they tried to charge me another $79.95. Luckily I didn't have the funds available for the transaction to go through. I didn't sign up for a membership or make any other purchase. This was an unauthorized charge. Koda, or WearKoda is an absolute scam

Your order ST6-42481 is ready for shipment, but a dispute has been opened which prevents us from completing the delivery.
Here is the shipping address we currently have on file for your order:

To this end, we have already involved our legal representative, Attorney Mr. Thomas J. Whitaker, Esq., who is copied on this email and ready to proceed.

The website advertised a Paw Patrol toy as being of a large size and with actual characters. The one I received was much smaller and off-brand. When I reached out for returns, they would only offer 10% back, then 20%, then 30%. I never received the money back. I then found a charge for $29.99 on my credit card. When I reached out about it, their phone was never picked up. I sent an email and was told my purchase came with a membership that was free for 20 days before the charges started. This was never confirmed during checkout nor did I receive an email like you would for other memberships. Once again, I asked for a refund. They only eventually offered 30% back, which I did not trust because I never received my other refund. I had to file a dispute with my credit card company. This company is predatory.

Employment
I received an initial email from Nicole Curl of HR alleging they were following up on "my interest in a position suited for me: a remote part-time Data Entry Clerk position. I requested more information about the job, and at this stage I would need to complete a brief & final assessment to help determine the best fit for the role.
After doing an assessment and filling out a questionnaire, I received a job acceptance offer by email from Nicole Curl again, with an extended offer of employment for the position stating I received the job. Then request my name, address, phone#, DOB, RN License #, and email address. The compensation, full-time and part-time pay rates, and the employment offer were emailed to me from Nicole Curl as the HR Assistant from Novacell Oncology, [email protected].
Then I received yet another email from Nicole Curl stating my "information has now been updated on our employee portal," advising me to set up a "TELEGRAM" account for my mobile device for "office communication". It also instructed me to a Telegram address of: t.me/clairharrison660 for the "Administrative Desk for onboarding and software registration process".
I replied back by email to Nicolo Curl again for clarification of my "accepted position, since I am an RN-Registered Nurse, attached my resume, and questioned the job title and pay rates, and requested further clarification of the job title and pay rates, but I never received a response which was odd since all of the prior emails were all in 'rapid-fire' sequences, also I did not have Telegram app.
After 2 days of no reply to my clarification of role title and pay rates, I emailed Nicole Curl again (and to date of this complaint) never received any further emails from Nicole Curl.
I looked back at Nicole Curl's last instruction that directed me to contact Claire Harrison in 'Administration, through the app Telegram to begin the onboarding process, via the Telegram app.
With no responses from Nicole Curl, I put the Telegram app on my phone and contacted Claire Harrison via the Telegram address above.
Ms. Harrison was very abrasive, informing me I interrupted her online meeting & she would get back to me.
Within 5 min I received a Telegram from Harrison with a litany of a list of instructions;
I was asked if I had a printer, if I had Cash App, my social security #, & if not get it now, if I had mobile banking, what's my bank name, they are sending me a check from accounting that must be printed & cut outside the lines, front & back, endorse it & deposit by mobile deposit only to my bank, all while to send he screen shots of everything as I did them., then to send her a copy screen shot of the mobile deposit.
The "check' sent by email was for $1500.00, from "****** ****** ****** **** ******** *** ***** ******* ** *****, the bank was First National Bank, check #1759, Memo indicate: MacBook & Software, and the signature is not legible, very tiny, and appears as though it was backwards, date of check 08/21/2026and bottom check #'s printed in bank style fashion across the bottom is the check line, are; 1759 111906271 673194072.
This is where I became very uncomfortable. I responded via Telegram that I did not have mobile check deposit features on my account (and I do not), so I would have to go to my bank on Monday in person since it was already after 6:00 PM Friday & the bank is closed.
I was abrasively instructed to contact 'her' Claire Harrison at 8:00 AM the next morning. I advised the inside office is not open until Monday. I was instructed to then contact her at 8:00 AM Monday morning with the deposit confirmation. I sent a telegram msg I would be in meetings Monday am & would contact back sometime Monday afternoon.
My prior research on the company through their website: https://novacelloncology.com after the very first Nicole Curl email, there was no phone number to call listed, no links to the only 4 vague listed positions, no links or hyperlinks anywhere to contact or call, nor could anything be copied.
After a sleepless night, I realized this is a bad scam. I am completely sick that I lost my Social Security #, given as ordered by Claire Harrison during the litany of Rapid-fire instructions. However, my bank info # s was never given.
Over the years as a nurse, I have, of course, gone through the nursing job process; I have never seen this, but I was reminded that things have changed. Well, none of this sounds or was appropriate, lawful, or regulated.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam
I ordered clothing from Curve & Bloom Nashville. The items arrived after a long delay and did not match what was advertised, appearing to be a cheap knockoff of the listing photos, with poor quality fabric and construction, and likely sourced overseas rather than reflecting the Nashville-based branding.
I requested a return and refund. The company was unresponsive and required several follow-up emails before providing any return information. When they did respond, they offered a 15% partial refund with no return required, or a full refund if I returned the item to an address in the United Kingdom. Shipping the item back to the UK from the US costs upward of $400 through UPS or FedEx, with no tracking available once the package leaves the country. This makes it functionally impossible to complete the return process they are requiring for a full refund.
When I followed up to request a reasonable, prepaid return shipping option, the company replied with a generic message asking me to restate my order number and issue, despite having already provided this information clearly, including the order number in the email subject line.
I also attempted to verify this business through the Tennessee Secretary of State's registration database and found no record of "Curve & Bloom" or "Curve & Bloom LLC," despite the company listing this as its legal name and 1200 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203 as its business address. This address is a mixed-use residential and office building, and I found no evidence the company actually operates there. This raises concern that the business's US identity is not accurate, and that it may be operating from overseas.
I have also reported this business to the FTC (Report #*********).
I am requesting BBB's assistance in getting Curve & Bloom to provide a prepaid return shipping label and process a full refund. I am also flagging this business's practices, including its return process and unverifiable US business identity, as a potential pattern of deceptive conduct affecting other customers.

Employment - Employment - Package Reshipping Scam
I was looking for a legitimate job on the Internet. They called me and convinced me that they would train me to do a drop shipping job at first but I had to invest 6000.00 and I would be able to own my own business. They told me so many different things and how easy it was. I said no at first and no the 2nd time. Then the so called owner of the company called me to set up and appointment. He explained what it in tailed. He convinced me that it was a legitimate business. They hooked me up with Shopify and CJ drop shipping. Everything looked legit. Then later they said I had to invest again and to use credit cards and insured me that I would start bringing in an income soon. Then they wanted more money for AI program and so on and so on. Next thing I new, I was drowning in dept. I then started freaking out. So all of a sudden, I had a couple sales on Tik Tok. I paid and sent them. Then they wanted more money and told them I didn't have anymore money. Then I got a couple more sales and went to pay those and they changed me 20 times for one sale. I quickly called my credit card company and put a stop to it. My last conversation with him was , he wanted more money for advertising. I told him no and that I still never got the money from the other two sales. I paused the store and found them on the Internet and it seems to me it's all fake. I called 888 number and someone answered and was very rude. They said they were closed and to call Monday morning. Not professional at all. I know I'm not very smart and I lost thousands of dollars that I have to pay back. I also believe they were saling products through my business and collected the profits. I probably will have to pay taxes on that too. So scared about that. Please stay safe out there.
