Investment - Handmade

This is a pyramid scam. The more money you “deposit” the more “commission” you earn. For instance. You are required to deposit $25 through crypto and you earn a 30% commission of that $25 and keep it as a profit. However, that’s the first easy task you complete upon being “hired”. The next days tasks get more expensive and rise to $250 to be deposited with a profit of 30% commission. Until the next thing you know you’re depositing $5000 and then all of a sudden they place holds and stipulations on your account when you go to withdraw your funds because you “took too long” to make the deposit or you read the 5 step directions wrong to withdraw the funds and then get placed on a “bad reputation list” in which you have to pay even more money to get taken off that list and can’t get your funds until that deposit is made. And the list goes on and on with excuse after excuse when nothing was ever disclosed in the beginning about all these stipulations. And no matter how hard you fight or how much you pay. They still have a back up ready to keep your money.

Counterfeit Product - Altamoro.usa / Altamoro.com Online Retail Scam

The ad shows 3d colorful large realistic images from a plug n play HD star projector that protects out into a room full of the images. The images move around the room such as fish swimming underwater, so realistic the children reach out to touch them etc. Total charge for product was $96.58 and they added aTIP of $7.66. The product is crap! A literal piece of crap! It equates to a stationary black and white night light! They offered me 10% refund and final offer 20% refund and refuse to give me a return method or return process. They need to be shut down for FALSE ADVERTISING! It’s deceptive, untrue, and way over exaggerated! They. Are literally stealing money from consumers! The product doesn’t do ONE thing that it claims except a light comes on when it’s plugged in. My attorney is engaged and he will shut them down for deceptive trade practice! It’s ridiculous that I am having to go through all of this BS for a month now with no resolution at all and still out $104.00!! It’s outright THEFT! Do NOT purchase from this company!! ANYTHING!

I placed an online order. When I tried to call about the order, no matter when, no one answered. Emails came back undeliverable. I realized mattrineboats has many email accounts. Thankfully, between the time I placed the order and when it got processed, my credit card got cancelled for a fraudulent charge. I got an email from matrine when the card was refused and they wanted a bank transfer or wire transfer. I have no doubt this is a scam deal.

After reviewing your application, we would like to speak with you about a Remote Data Entry Specialist position. The role is fully remote, Monday through Friday, with a schedule of 40 hours per week.

Online Purchase - Stately men

Paid company for an elite clothing package that came with a stylist. I needed help with work clothing. What I received was shorts and polos that looked like clearance items for the summer time. When I confronted company they said they dont issue refunds but would get me another stylist and try again. I received 2nd box which contained items I didnt ask for like a $350 sport coat (specifically asked them to not send that. Their calls are all recorded). The rest of the box again was filled with cheap looking clearance type clothing. Again I asked for a refund and they denied it, instead offering store credit to purchase clothes off their online rack store. First of all, that is not what i signed up for, second, they items on the website look nothing like wjat they advertised to me when I made original purchase. To add to that, they don't have anything in my size. I feel as though this is a “bait and switch” type of company. So I decided to pick items from the online store. I received them yesterday and the shirts smelled like spoiled milk. I’m not making this up. I reached out to Stately and they still wouldnt offer a refund. Just more store credit. Please stay away. I can’t believe I fell for this.

Phishing

On 9-9-26, I received an incoming phone call from what appeared to be Wells Fargo. The caller ID displayed the same 1-800 number listed on Wells Fargo's official website, which is why I did not question the legitimacy of the call. The caller informed me that fraud had been detected on my account and offered to walk me through the steps to secure it. During the call, I was asked to provide a one-time verification code. That verification code arrived via the same Wells Fargo SMS message thread I normally receive legitimate account updates and alerts from, which further convinced me the request was authentic. After I provided the code, I believe the caller gained unauthorized access to my online banking. Shortly thereafter, I discovered unauthorized transfers had been made from my account: Funds were moved to Cash App Funds were then sent to an unknown debit card As a result, $3000.00 was removed from my account without my authorization. I did not authorize any person to access my online banking, initiate transfers to Cash App, or send funds to a third-party debit card. I am requesting a full fraud investigation and reimbursement of the unauthorized transactions.

Debt Collections

On September 15, 2026, I initially received a call from 305-703-3208. The caller instructed me to contact 888-499-2042regarding File #470596.I called the 888 number and spoke with a woman who asked for my file number. After providing it, she already had a significant amount of my personal information, including my address, date of birth, and other identifying information. She told me this concerned an old BankFirst account and claimed that I owed $1,814.76.I explained that I am currently using JG Wentworth for debt consolidation and that I did not understand why this alleged debt would not have appeared when my debts were reviewed. She told me that there had been some type of law or change during COVID that caused this credit card debt to be removed from my background or credit history, which was supposedly why JG Wentworth did not see it during the debt consolidation process.The entire situation seemed unusual, so I told her I would not proceed without written documentation. I was then sent documents through a Dropbox email/link.After carefully reviewing the documents, I realized that the account they were attempting to collect was an account that I had already paid in full approximately three years earlier. I have documentation showing that the account was paid and completed.I became even more concerned because I was told that I had approximately two days to accept/pay the settlement or they would proceed against me in civil court. The combination of the extremely short deadline, threat of legal action, unusual explanation involving COVID, and delivery of the documents through Dropbox raised serious concerns for me.I called the 888 number back and spoke with a woman named Melissa. She provided me with what she described as her direct number, 213-732-2570. I confronted her about the fact that the account had already been paid and told her I believed the collection attempt was fraudulent. I also emailed the administrative email address they had provided and supplied documentation showing that this was not an active unpaid account.I am filing this complaint because I am extremely concerned that consumers may be targeted using information about old debts that have already been resolved. The callers had enough of my personal information to make the claim initially appear credible. The explanation involving COVID also appeared designed to explain why the alleged debt might not appear during a debt consolidation or credit review.I am particularly concerned about consumers who are currently enrolled in debt consolidation programs and may be more likely to believe that an old account was somehow overlooked.I am also reviewing a previous collection matter that I paid approximately three years ago because I now have concerns about whether I may have experienced a similar situation at that time. In that instance, I also recall being threatened with court action, being given a very short period of time to pay, and receiving documents electronically.I am requesting that this matter be investigated and documented so that other consumers can be warned if these individuals or companies are engaging in improper or fraudulent debt-collection practices.Phone numbers involved: 305-703-3208 888-499-2042 213-732-2570 (direct number provided by “Melissa”)Reference/File Number: 470596

They replied that they would cancel my "subscription", but since the order was already being processed, they would not cancel it. I have since disputed the charge with my bank and used the return shipping label they finally provided to ship the product back to them. This is, in my opinion, a really shady way to do business and if I hadn't spent hours sending emails, talking to my bank, etc., I would just be out $55 for a product I NEVER ORDERED.

Online Purchase

I used website https://coopersgrassfedbeef.com/ to place my order. I was then contacted with an order form by email. When I tried contacting business by phone I got voice for a couple of seconds and the line disconnected and the business started texting me. We went back and forth and the business wanted a deposit as stated on the website using Zelle. I sent a payment of $500.00 to the requested recipient and it seemed to go through. However, in the next text the person with the business wanted me to use a different recipient that he said would be better. I canceled the first transaction and sent it to the other and then was told to wait. When it came time for next payment, I was given yet another recipient and tried to Zelle money there. The payment was blocked by Chase fraud dept. saying that contact was 1 day old and asked if I had met the person face to face. I said no and they blocked the transaction. After this, the business told me to use the original Zelle account, again I was contacted by Chase fraud dept. telling me that account was only 6 months old and had no other transactions like mine on it. I canceled that transaction. Things got tense when I asked for a physical address and I said that I would just come give him cash and pick up the order. He would not speak to me on the phone or do a video call. Thanks to Chase, I only lost $500.00 and the business has not answered any texts since.
