Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Geeksquad IMPOSTER

I received an email stating a payment was taken out of my checking account without my knowledge. I contacted Geeksquad who was the represented company. Their call center representative said I could receive my refund and I was connected Alex in the refund department. He assured me that I would receive the refund in 48 hours or be compensated additionally. I received a call after multiple attempted contacts to Alex. He reported losing his phone which caused the delay in contact. Alex proceeded over the next three days to get me to obtain a gift card and put my funds on the card in order for him to send my refund.

Counterfeit Product - Scam Purchase

I saw an ad for this product through Google advertising. Went to the page about the product, it was a lovely story and the products looked really nice. I bought a set. When I got the products they were nothing like what was advertised, like dollar store versions of the real thing. I was so mad and I knew I had been scammed. When I looked up the company name and "scam" I found out that a lot of people have been duped by this company. I did file a refund request and complaint with paypal regarding my money, but this is really so not cool and I want to make sure it gets reported so they can be stopped. At least this time. And Google is also responsible for not vetting the ads they are showing people better. So sad :(

Government Agency Imposter

I dialed the wrong number. He starting asking me about my birthday and he asked about my name on the account. Then he asked about my bank, routing number and account number. I told him I'm not giving him my bank information. I asked him this was NM DMV. He said yes and I'll transfer you to the right dept. I told why would he transfer my call to the right dept and why was he asking about my bank information. I told him that normally these aren't the questions they would asked if you haven't received your replacement driver's license. So, am I providing my bank information. He said you qualified for a $250 gift card. I told him then if that's the case send to the address shown on your screen. Then he asked about my address. I questioned him to give me his information so I can report him. He ended the call. So when you call the 800 number you get a busy tone...

Counterfeit Product - Nicole's Coastal Boutique

Ad on Facebook, went to website. Ordered three items. Took several weeks to receive. Items had the same patterns/shape as on the website but the material was NOT as described (i.e., website says linen blend, received cheap polyester; fit was ridiculous too tight on top, giant on the bottom), worse than something you'd buy on sale at Walmart. Website says "hassle free 30 day returns" but when I tried to return I got into an endless bot chat with them saying they'd offer 10%, 20% then 40% refund. When I said I don't want a refund because their produce is worthless then they told me I would have to return directly to CHINA costing me almost as much as what I was charged. There is no phone number or address (US or otherwise) for the company listed anywhere. I've uploaded the various email chains with what I believe is just a bot.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Prize Winner - Phishing Scam

A person named Richard LAVERY sent me a text message this morning saying that they had received a lottery winning and I was one of the few people that got an invite to win some money out of a billion dollars and that I’m supposed to send a guy named Dennis a code for me to get a share of the lottery prize money. Out of curiosity I sent the manager Dennis the code and I received a text message back saying that I was one of the lucky winners when asked to send him my address and then he wanted me to send him a picture of myself so he can verify if it was really me so I didn’t because then that’s when I realized that this was a scam. I didn’t send anything else to him or a Richard LAVERY. You have to beware when someone asks for your picture and you don’t know who that person is.

Today, May 22, 2025, I was scammed out of $297.67 by Essential Foods Direct at their tent sale at BBX Liquors in Edgewood, MD. It was pouring rain and they were not allowing many people under the tent, including myself who had my baby with me. They were very secretive — not displaying prices or letting customers see what they were actually getting before purchasing. While waiting, I watched them take a small package of meat, put it in a giant empty box, and present it to a customer like it was a huge haul of meat. That should have been my sign to leave, but I stayed. When it was my turn, the salesman showed me high quality meat as an example of what I would receive. What was actually placed in my box was visibly lower quality — nothing like what was displayed. This is textbook bait and switch. I was told the price would be $280 but was charged $297.67 — more than agreed upon with no explanation. To make matters worse, they pressured customers into leaving a tip, with the lowest tip option being $30 and going all the way up to $80. This felt extremely coercive, especially after already being overcharged. The seafood box was supposed to contain salmon, flounder, cod and other fish. Instead it contained crabcakes and lobster — items never mentioned. My father is severely allergic to shellfish. This is a serious safety issue. I have since seen multiple other customers reporting the exact same experience. I am disputing this charge with my bank and reporting this to the Maryland Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division. In today’s economy, families are struggling to put food on the table. Including my family .I was trying to get a good deal to feed my family and instead got taken advantage of. This company should be shut down.

Applied to an internship position and received a text from "Emma" and an email(found in spam folder) about setting up a Zoom meeting with the hiring director for 11 am the next day. There were no other options, and it was described as a 10-minute listen-in webinar, not an interview. While Cameron Meeks appeared very charismatic, this position sounds like those reps you see at events. The kind that collects your information for future sales. He mentioned some of their biggest clients were Doctors Without Borders, Verizon, and Spectrum. The way he described the "boots on the ground" marketing they do, and that this position was on-site despite not having a listed address on the website or anywhere, confirms this is most likely an info booth set up. Cameron's time with Blue Wave Events (another negatively reviewed company), tells me he is using their playbook to attract young professionals not trained to sniff out these type of scam "jobs."

March 29, 2026. I parked in downtown Pensacola on a Sunday morning. Parking downtown on Sundays, with all the construction taking place on Palafox St, is supposed to be free. I parked in a space off the street on a Sunday morning and could see Free Parking signs within twenty feet of where I parked. I received an invoice for $42.50 from an entity titled Level Parking. How did this company obtain my info and why? The return address on my invoice was 101 Palafox Pl. #723 Pensacola, Fl. 32591. When I received my next invoice with a threat to turn it over to a collection agency, I decided to go to the "horse's mouth" and discuss the situation with the company. That address was bogus: It's the old Post Office building downtown and is locked up all the way around. No signs for Level Parking anywhere. So I called the number I found on-line that is listed with the supposed six properties it operates. 850-741-7787. The guy on the other line offered to give me LP's email address and said that management would follow up and email me back. He had no information to give me about the bogus address.

Online Purchase - Skincare Scam

I made an order using the company's 9.99 promotion to try their skincare pads product, which comes with a free oil, which I never received. I reported this to USPS and the company via their support email [email protected] and recieved no response. I called the company at their listed number 1- (888) -320-1732, and they cannot be reached. This is a robocall that will give you the runaround of a plethora of ads where you must keep pressing pound to skip. Finally, when you get to the phone operator, they ask for the company name and are conveniently unable to connect you to the company, but don't worry, they will give you a different number to call 1(800)-712-6600, and guess what, it's the same number you just got to skip the ads. On top of this, that first purchase I never recieved apparently signs you up for some subscription service so I was then charged $37.43 for an order I did not make. Why would I order again if I didn't get package number 1. So you cannot actually reach a real person. They list on their site that they have a live chat feature available 9 am - 6 pm, M-F. The chat will just say to reach out via their listed phone number that I now know does not work. The insult to injury here was receiving an automated message asking how I was liking the product, but they cannot take the time to respond to my support email. So I checked their website, and they have sections to try to cancel orders, exchange, or return. These features don't work; they give you an error message saying an order is not eligible for return or exchange. So there is no way to contact them or ask for a refund. I had to report the purchases to my bank, and well, now reporting here. I hope I save someone some time and money. Do not purchase from this brand, which seems to be a ghost!

Employment

There was a fake job on indeed.com posted. I applied for the job. The recruiter, who seems to be a legit recruiter for TCI (Transportation Consepts); lied to me and had me go down to take a drug test. I then went down to do a road test for their client Krispy Kreme. I was told I had the job. My alleged manager texted me from a different number and they acted like I was hired and that I would start on Tuesday May 19th, 2026. My hire date was Friday May 16th, 2026. On that Friday May 16th, I had to do orientation from home and it took 10 hours to complete. As soon as I completed orientation and signed all paperwork which showed a full time job at the rate of $21.00 an hour USD, which a lot of it was done on Transtreet (Driver Pulse); they ghosted me. There was no mention that it was a "Ghost Job". They told me I would start on Tuesday May 19th, 2026. I attempted to contact my alleged manager, and was notified that their actually was no route available. I had made real life decisions that is now causing burden and grief and real life consequences; because I thought I would be going to work after being unemployed for almost 3 months. I changed appointments and even spent money in gas and food items that I thought I would need to bring for lunch at work. Now I am facing starvation and homelessness, while still looking for work. I asked both (recruiter) and (manager); if there was an HR department I could contact. They never responded. That was Monday May 18th, 2026. I believe this is an elaborate scam in order for them to meet recruitment quotas. The person who did my road test, who I actually have his name and phone number, told me I was the 3rd road test that week. He claimed that people are just not showing up for the first day of work. I notified him of what they did to me. Basically the recruiters are falsely hiring people and then not scheduling them in order to meet recruitment quotas and get paid. However we the victims have spent money and had possibly turned down real jobs and are now broke and going homeless. This has cause financial and emotional burden to me and my family.

Online Purchase - Fancy spring

I ordered two dresses on the 5th, checked the tracking on the 17th. It said they were delivered in a completely different state and incorrect address. I emailed them and was given multiple excuses as they had to wait to hear from the carrier. After many emails I told them I was reporting them and only then did they come up with the offer for a refund minus the shipping. Which is also ridiculous. It’s been over a month and many more emails attempting to get my refund. I still have yet to be refunded.
