Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

The scammer billed the amount of $13,725 to Medicare using my Medicare number. My Medicare Summary Notice indicated that none of the fraudulent claims were approved and therefore nothing paid out by Medicare. Claims were for 1500 intermittent urinary catheters ordered by a Daniel J Kruse (scammer).

Online Purchase

I ordered the Sol Light from Tyka Pryde on April 26. The initial shipment date was supposed to be around the end of May, which was then push to mid-June, then to late June, to July, and so forth. I finally emailed on August 4th asking for a shipping update, and was told that my item would be completed and sent out by August 17. That was then, once again, moved to August 31, and then to September 13. I have since reached out several times inquiring about my order with no response, and have seen that on their social media pages that have hundreds of comments complaining about the exact same thing.

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

Received a letter asking for insurance information in order to bill my father's insurance for a ambulance transport. My father indeed did not use them at all in 2026. I sked where was this transport to and they wouldn't answer me. I asked them how they got my father's information. They said they ran a data base. So, they are looking for elderly people and trying to collect insurance information to bill the insurances for something they are not providing. It's a scam. They also will never provide any information. They ask for SS information and medical information.

Phishing

I received a voicemail stating that it was an “urgent message” intended for me and referencing case number 275139. The caller claimed that a matter had been forwarded to their office for consideration of legal action, including the filing of a lawsuit and/or complaint with the court. I was instructed to contact a firm at 866-426-0568 and was told that if I did not respond, they could proceed without my participation or consent. The caller also stated that their calls were being logged and submitted as proof that they had attempted to notify me about the alleged pending complaint. I am reporting this because the message contains threatening and time-sensitive language regarding potential legal action, but does not clearly identify the company, law firm, creditor, alleged debt, court, or specific legal matter involved. I am concerned that this communication may be an attempt to intimidate or deceive me into contacting the provided telephone number. I have retained the voicemail/screenshot as documentation and am requesting that the BBB review the business or entity responsible for this communication and determine whether it is legitimate and compliant with applicable consumer-protection requirements. Reference/case number provided in the message: 275139 Phone number provided: 866-426-0568

Counterfeit Product

All buyers need to beware that Kalsten is a SCAM. They have a polished website that claims to sell high end products. I purchased several exterior lights that on their site were listed as being made of "high quality steel, aluminum and glass". When the products arrived, they were made of cheap plastic. When I tried to initiate a return that was well within their online return policy that claims to be straightforward, I got entangled with weeks of back and forth with Kalsten reps who literally tried to negotiate by any means possible not to do the return. It was truly a bizarre set of communications from them. Ultimately they lied about refunding money and my original source of payment (PayPal) refunded the funds directly under their own return policy. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM KALSTEN -- IT IS A BAIT AND SWITCH SCAM THAT CLAIMS TO SELL HIGH END PRODUCTS THAT SUBS CHEAP PRODUCTS MADE IN CHINA (BASED ON THE SHIPPING LABEL) AND THEN REFUSE TO RETURN YOUR MONEY.

I received a call from a man who said he worked for Wells Fargo Zelle department with fraud. Said they were two transactions from my Chase account to Wells Fargo in the past two days from a “Jessica Martinez” he said he could cancel them and sent me to Zelle’s fraud department. I have fake cancellation numbers and everything. The man at Cell fake fraud department asked me to give him numbers from a text message that was sent to my phone and I refused and told him that I would call Zelle and handle it on my own and he started getting upset and telling me to google the number and telling me they’re not gonna be responsible for these issues and transactions. I ended up being hung up all after I told him I just wanted to verify, and so I called Zelle myself, and they said that it was definitely fraud. * attached picture is the information I was given regarding the cancellation and the people I was speaking with*

Debt Collections - Gilbert Law Firm

On September 17, 2026, I received a fraudulent debt-collection email from Marie Scott ([email protected]) claiming I owed $2,979.61. The message used fabricated identifiers (Form SC/2026/25225/2158702, Case CNU-15-A-356987) and false legal threats, including a civil complaint (CR-2984351), arrest warrant, wage garnishment, and credit reporting. It pressured payment through “settlement proposals” and directed me to [email protected]. The email falsely claimed to be from “Gilbert Law Firm LLC.” This is a clear fraudulent debt-collection scam using intimidation and impersonation to solicit money.

Retail Business - Fast Towing Services Denver

Called towing company for a tow at 4pm. Said they would send someone out in 45 min. Placed key in car and left doors unlocked. Had not heard anything by 6pm about any updates. Called the number with no answer. Got a text right afterwards from another number stating they were at a roll over accident and we would be next. Asked for someone to call and did not receive an answer. I texted again around 8 since car still wasn’t at drop off location. The driver never called only used text messaging saying they were busy. Texted back and forth around 9 still no car and it had not even been picked up yet. Person texted at 9:18 said they were 45 min away. Waited until 10:15 still no car. Attempted to call the number again with no answer and only another text saying they were 10 min from even picking up the car still. At this point myself and my husband were done and exhausted and I texted to tell them forget it and I wanted a refund since they had already taken my payment. Still no call even when I asked for someone to call me. Only communication was through text very frustrating. In the end I cancelled because I wasn’t going to wait up all night for them to screw me around. Tried calling the business number the next morning with no answer and again only a text message asking if we needed roadside assistance. Texted to let them know I needed a refund and for someone to call and again to phone call returned from company and only texts through yet another number.

Bank/Credit Card Company Imposter - Chase Bank Imposter - Fake Fraud Alert - Phishing Scam

Received a call from someone claiming to be with Chase Security, about 2 attempted Zelle transfers earlier in the day originating in Texas (I'm in NY).They said my phone number was used so the transfer was flagged. He gave me "cancellation void codes" and a "case ID reference number" and then attempted to transfer me to "Zelle" so I can give them the void codes. At several times I asked for clarification, because I couldn't understand why I needed to do that; the story didn't quite add up. I declined to be transferred & told him that I would call back the number on my caller ID at a later time.

Online Purchase

I am filing this complaint regarding Mercer & Bloom and order #MB7977. The dress was delivered on September 10, 2026, and arrived damaged, with ripped areas and stitching coming undone in multiple places. The color and overall appearance also differed from what I expected based on the website. I contacted the company immediately, requested a refund, and provided photographic evidence of the damage. Mercer & Bloom initially told me the item was not eligible for a refund because it was purchased during a promotional sale. However, their own published refund policy states that sale items are non-returnable unless the product is damaged or defective upon receipt. I pointed this out to the company and provided the requested evidence showing that the dress arrived damaged. After several follow-ups, Mercer & Bloom acknowledged that I could return the damaged dress for a refund but stated that I would be responsible for approximately $30–$40 in international return shipping. They also stated that the refund would only be issued after the item was received and inspected and that if the return package were lost in transit, I would not receive a refund. As an alternative, they initially offered me only 15% cashback to keep the damaged item. I specifically chose the full-refund option and asked the company to provide return instructions. Rather than simply processing the return, management subsequently offered me 20% cashback. After I again explained that the dress arrived ripped and unstitched and requested a more reasonable resolution, they increased their offer to 25% cashback but refused my request for a 50% refund or prepaid return shipping. My complaint is not simply that I changed my mind or disliked the dress. The merchandise arrived damaged and defective. I reported the damage immediately, supplied photographic evidence, and followed the company's stated return process. The company's own policy specifically provides an exception for sale merchandise that arrives damaged or defective. Desired resolution: I am requesting a full refund of my purchase price with a prepaid return shipping label, or alternatively, a full refund without requiring the damaged merchandise to be returned. I do not believe I should have to incur additional international shipping costs to correct an issue involving merchandise that arrived damaged.

Online Purchase

Kayla's Maltiipoos (https://www.kaylasmaltipoos.com) is a website that advertised a sale on puppies. I chose my puppy from several pictures and sent $500 and an additional $350 through Zelle. (Zelle does not allow me to send more that $500 to a new recipient, so I had to send the remainder the following day). The day after the money was received, I received a request from a Flying PEt Nanny (https://www.flypetsnanny.com/insurance/) for an additional $770 to fly the puppy to Burbank where I would be picking it up. This extra money was never mentioned to me. I was told the puppy AND a shpping fee was included in the original payment. Supposedly, all but about $30 would be returned to me when I arrived with proper identification to pick up the puppy. This extra insurance was in case the puppy got sick on the way. It wasn't until then that I suspected it was a scam. As I didn't understand how to go about paying the Nanny service, I tried calling them. Flyig Pet Nanny service did not pick up the phone. Neither did the Kayla's Maltipoos. Up until this time, all communication was done via email. After another couple of exhanges through email, I canceled the puppy. I had tried to call. "Kayla" emailed that she was hard of hearing and didn't use the phone and her husband was away serving in the service. Then I asked to be Zelled the money. She said her Zelle didn't allow her to send money and I needed to contact my bank. Since the money was already taken out of my account, I couldn not get it back through my bank (Chase). I then asked for a check. I aske for at least half the money back. No response.

Doing some research, all emails associated with the actual company end in @shrynegroup.com, the email that I had correspondence with ended in @shrynegroups.com. On top of this, the phone number attached to the domain (shrynegroups.com) seems to be linked to several other controversies, some including misinformation. I also looked at the age differences in the registered domains, and Shryne Groups seems to be illegimate with a domain more recently registered for a hiring scam meant to harvest the data collected through their pages.

Online Purchase - Daisy Reyes

This person put an ad on Facebook marketplace. They offered their photography skills $150 session for fall session through Daisy Reyes. I believe they hijacked her identity because this person really had taken photos in past. She had friends of my friends. I believe this person is still taking on other people's identity and posting photo services on facebook marketplace. They asked for 150 up front to reserve the date for services through venmo. Do not pay anything up front, you'll lose your money.

Investment

Hey, Camille Laurent calling from Foxview Financial. I'm in underwriting, and I did reach out recently. One of this in front of you before the day takes over. Trans Union and Equifax still have your file showing a pre-selection for a $41,630 hardship personal loan. No hard credit check, same day funding available payments around $452 a month. And look, I know it's nearly end of summer and August 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 877-419-2406. Me or anyone on my team can pull your pre-selection right now. Closes tomorrow, Friday, at 3 PM. 877-419-2406. Hope
