Online Purchase - Luxus Car Mats

The customer placed Order on June 25, 2026, for custom floor mats and a full-coverage cargo/trunk mat for a 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport. Before ordering, the customer confirmed that the company could manufacture mats specifically for this vehicle and later confirmed twice that the order was for black mats with orange stitching. The front and rear floor mats arrived separately and were satisfactory. However, the cargo mat was significantly delayed. During production, the company advised that side wall panels were unavailable and offered only a $60 refund. After questioning the pricing, the customer agreed to proceed with the base cargo mat and rear seat coverings and accepted the $60 refund. After nearly two months of delays and repeated requests for updates, the cargo mat and rear seat coverings were finally received on August 14, 2026. Had yellow stitching instead of the orange stitching ordered after repeatedly confirmed. • Made from substantially different, inferior materials than the front and rear mats received. Like cardboard material. • Had noticeably poorer workmanship, construction, backing, design, and overall quality. • Did not match the front and rear mats as a coordinated set. • Included an unexplained opening (hole) that appeared to be a tear or unfinished defect. • Did not fit the vehicle properly, with the cargo area coverage being inadequate and the seat cuts improperly sized. • Was not consistent with the quality and specifications advertised and expected for the price paid. The company initially claimed that the apparent tear was an intentional opening for a rope and requested that the customer install the mat before determining whether there was a defect. The company also acknowledged that the stitching did not match because the floor mats and cargo mat were produced at different facilities and stated it could not make the colors match exactly. The customer rejected this explanation, provided photographs and detailed documentation, and requested a full refund for the cargo mat and rear seat coverings. On August 18, the company stated that it was reviewing the matter with its production department and would provide a solution. However, after more than a week, no meaningful resolution or refund was provided. They outsourced a product they could not make and it was not up to the company's standards but refuse to accept their mistake. Primary complaint: The customer proves that the company failed to deliver the custom cargo mat and seat coverings as ordered, provided products with the wrong stitching color, inferior quality, damage (hole) workmanship, fitment issues, and significant delays, and failed to promptly resolve the matter despite repeated communications and a request for a full refund.

Online Purchase - Jet Track Postal Service

I ordered two wigs from a vendor, Anhi Hair, located in Vietnam, and paid $200 via Apple Pay. The shipment subsequently arrived in the United States. However, I received text messages and emails from the shipping company, Jet Track Postal Services, located in New Jersey, stating that I was required to pay an additional $140 for insurance clearance. I spoke and corresponded with an individual named Derrick Pierce, who represented that the $140 payment would be refundable upon delivery of the shipment. I was persuaded to make the payment via Zelle or Apple Pay because I was told those were the only payment methods accepted by the company. After submitting the payment, I received a message stating that my shipment would be delivered once the payment was confirmed. Unfortunately, this morning I received another message from the shipping company requesting an additional $200, claiming that the package did not have the required commercial and physical stamp for shipment. Since then, both the wig vendor and the shipping company have stopped responding to my messages and inquiries.

Retail Business - My Pillow

Company purporting to be "My Pillow" welcomed me to some email list I never subscribed to. When I replied to the 3rd one insisting upon removal of my contact information, the email bounced (you can see the bounce notice near the bottom of this screenshot). These started inexplicably on the 23rd of Aug. This isn't even all of them! I accidentally deleted three unread ones this morning that came in overnight. Even at my age, I know better than to "unsubscribe" to any sketchy email list I never subscribed to, but I don't know how to make these stop. Reporting this specimen to Gmail at least 6x already hasn't helped at all! The shady emails just keep coming. Can you do anything to make these stop?

    Tech Support - Verizon IMPOSTER and Facebook support IMPOSTER

    I’d recently purchased a new cell phone from Verizon Wireless. I called Verizon Wireless tech support to have all of my information transferred from FB Messenger to my new phone. The Verizon Wireless representative (From India) could not figure out how to transfer the information and then provided me with a number to “FB support” @ 1 (816) 572-0508. I spoke to another person from “India” by the name of “Brian Cooper” who then posed as FB customer support. “Brian Cooper” proceeded to tell me that he is a real person working for FB and that I needed to trust him which I did. “Brian Cooper” then said that a person “Theodore Rodriguez” was trying to hack into my account and that we needed to put a stop to it. “Brian Cooper” then began speaking fast and tricked me into transferring and sending $900 to cash for this “Theodore Rodriguez” again “Brian Cooper” “FB representative” reassured me that everything is fine and even had me take screenshots shots during our conversation which made me feel even more safe. “Brian Cooper” stated that we needed to complete this transaction to stop the hacker. Then from CashApp “Brian” had me go to “Zelle” to click the box that stated that I am overriding this possible scam. After seeing $900 deducted from my checking account balance the lightbulb moment hit me. I was being scammed. I then refused to click that box “Brian Cooper” kept asking me to click the box which is when I contacted my banking institution to ask questions about what was happening? I was strictly instructed to hang up with this scammer. I then contacted “CashApp Support” and spoke to a third person from “India” to report the scam and provided supporting documentation such as screenshots, recipients names, email address and phone numbers along with a police report file number. I then contacted the Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, and the FBI to report the scam. After a 7 day wait period CashApp denied my claim and stated that Peer to Peer (P2P) transactions are final because I agreed and initiated the payment. In Conclusion: Each representative that I spoke to throughout the scam was from the country of “India”. They all work together to fraud Americans and they know that they will get away with it. I was told that they run and facilitate customer support services across the globe such as Verizon Wireless, Comcast, Dell, & Navient Financial to name few. I was told that these representatives are all included in the fraud and scam business and that they work together to fraud Americans. I was told that I personally experienced an inside scam job beginning with the Verizon Wireless tech support service. I was told to beware of this cyber attack on American people.

    On 6/3/2026 I made the mistake of ordering 2 32 terabyte solid state drives that purported to have 4000 megabits per second speed. when I saw the cables were usb a I was skeptical but I plugged one into my computer. File explorer did show a 32 tb capacity but I was not able to test for that. I found that the transfer rate was only 30mbs rather than the 4000mbs advertised. At that rate it would take almost 100 days to transfer 32tb so I couldn't check the capacity. At this point I emailed them complaining about the slow transfer rate. They offered to refund a third of the purchase price which I accepted. Then I tried copying a small amount of data. After several hours when it finished, i found it had only created some empty folders containing no data. I got similar results with the other one. So I emailed them offering to return the drives for a full refund. They didn't want them back and offered me a 50% refund or a credit to buy more of their junk on their web site. I emailed them back demanding a full refund and never heard from them again. Today (8/31/2026) I was watching something on You Tube and was horrified to see that they are still advertising this defective garbage. I would like to see them shut down but since they are from some Asian country (????????????) it's not going to happen. I am submitting this in the hope that others won't get scammed like I did.

    Online Purchase - Fopareanal (Crowne Inc)

    Foparenal Company said they were selling 8 pairs of Woman's jeans for $24.00 plus S&H of $10.18 For a total of $34.18. After a week I asked for a Tracking number and received one. they said that order was delivered on July 12, 2026. Interesting as I ordered the items on July 27, 2026. Attached is a copy of the letter I sent last week.

    Credit Card Dispute - $53.00 Online Purchase Merchandise Not as Described I am disputing a $53.00 online purchase because the merchandise I received was completely different from what was advertised, ordered, and shown on my order confirmation. I ordered a Gold Glitter Slip Dress, size Small, for $53.00. The merchant's website and my order confirmation clearly showed a gold embellished/glitter mini dress with spaghetti straps and a fitted bodice. Instead, I received a completely different brown lace ruffled dress that does not match my order in color, fabric, style, design, or construction. The dress arrived without any retail tags, labels, or identifying information, and there was no receipt, invoice, packing slip, or other documentation of any kind included in the package. The dress also appeared to have been previously used rather than new merchandise. This is not a sizing, quality, or preference issue - I simply did not receive the product I purchased. After receiving the incorrect item, I discovered that the photograph the merchant used to advertise the gold dress appears to have been taken from the website of the legitimate retailer For Love & Lemons, where the pictured item is sold as the Glitter Slip Dress in Gold. The merchant appears to have used another retailer's product photographs to advertise the dress and then sent me an unrelated item. I have contacted the merchant multiple times by email requesting a prepaid return shipping label and a full refund. The merchant has refused to provide one. Instead, they have repeatedly offered escalating partial refunds of approximately 10%, 20%, and 30%, or instructed me to pay out of pocket to ship the incorrect merchandise back to China. Of additional concern, the address in China where the merchant is now instructing me to return the dress is completely different from the shipping/return address printed on the package that was actually delivered to me. I therefore have no reasonable way to verify that I would even be returning the merchandise to the correct or legitimate recipient. I have made multiple good-faith attempts to resolve this directly with the merchant. I am willing to return the incorrect merchandise if the merchant provides a prepaid, trackable return shipping label. However, I do not believe I should be required to spend additional money on international shipping to correct the merchant's mistake, particularly under these circumstances. I am also concerned that if I pay to ship the item to an unrelated address in China, I may incur additional financial loss and still never receive my refund. Given the merchant's apparent use of another legitimate retailer's product photographs, the completely unrelated and apparently used merchandise I received, the absence of retail tags or any receipt or documentation, the repeated escalating partial-refund offers, the refusal to provide a prepaid return label, and the conflicting shipping and return addresses, I have serious concerns about the legitimacy of this transaction. I can provide documentation showing the gold dress advertised and ordered, the brown dress actually received, my original order confirmation, the legitimate retailer's original product listing, the package and shipping label, and my email correspondence with the merchant showing my repeated attempts to obtain a full refund and prepaid return label. I am requesting that the full $53.00 charge be reversed because the merchant failed to provide the merchandise advertised and purchased and has refused to provide a reasonable means of returning the incorrect merchandise for a full refund. This purchase was made online

    Employment - Winter Environmental

    Applied for a remote job through Indeed with what I thought was Winter Environmental but now I realize was not. Hiring manager sent me a conditional offer by email without ever talking to me. In retrospect I should have realized the compensation offered was not realistic, it was almost double what most companies offer for the same type of job. Supposedly their name was Jose Jackson. I had more questions before accepting this conditional offer so I attempted to email Jose. No response so far so I began to look more closely at everything he sent and then I noticed his email address was @winter-environmentals.com (plural) instead of winter-environmental.com. Otherwise everything looked exactly like Winter Environmental's legit logo, etc. Also the lack of a phone number for Jose or any attempt by them to interview by phone was very fishy. Thankfully I did not take the bait any further.
